Abstract

The aim of the study was the situation around the future of higher education in Russia. It did not take shape yesterday, but recent events in the world prompted a decision to reform the existing system. Someone is satisfied with the current (nominally) Bologna system, while others are happy for the good old specialist programme. The authors decided to express their point of view on this problem, since they do not care what education system they work in.

The authors examined the history of the development of Russian higher education: from monarchical to modern periods. Each one was evaluated. Positive and negative trends are identified in the higher education system. We compared the Bologna system with a specialist programme.

Based on many years of teaching experience at the university; after analyzing the open publications of colleagues, we can say, “what should and should not be” in the new system.

With the development of new information technologies, the range of information services is expanding, conditions are being created for the formation of a single global information and educational space. The attractiveness of the remote form is determined by the follow- ing principles: flexibility; modularity; economic efficiency; control automation; use of specialized technologies and teaching aids (video conferencing; test shells; chats; attendance check blocks; automated rating systems, etc.). The positive experience of the last ten years is the use of electronic educational complexes within the disciplines being read. Conclusion, leave electronic complexes in the assortment of the teacher. At the same time, it is necessary to remember the negative consequences for education of the use of distance technologies: lack of contact between the student and the lecturer; lack of control over the quality of acquired knowledge; security of transmitted information between students and educators; the need for a strong technical base for participants in the educational process and their level of preparedness when working with new systems and programmes.

Zero testing of applicants showed their lack of logical thinking skills, fragmentary knowledge and lack of consistency. Definitely, it is necessary to abandon the Unified State Exam system when recruiting applicants.

There is an acute problem with some specialties: there is an over- abundance of managers, accountants, lawyers. At the same time, there is a shortage, for example, of IT specialists and engineers. It is necessary to coordinate the list of specialties for the training of such specialists who will be in demand in 5-10 years.

Over the past twenty years, the number of hours per teaching position has increased from 720 to 900 hours, which, naturally, has reduced the time (and desire) for science. It is necessary to revive the system of retraining of Faculty, ensuring the modification of knowledge and applied technologies in the learning process. It is necessary to raise the prestige of the teaching profession, its motivation.

The specialist has confirmed its viability. It is only necessary to supplement it with technologies that have proven their effectiveness. The proposals made will be reflected in the organization of further work as a lecturer of higher education.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the issues of distance learning of the basics of fire safety of the able-bodied population (employees of organizations). Traditional forms of education do not fully meet modern demands for knowledge in this area. The use of distance learning makes it possible to realize the needs for acquiring and updating the necessary competencies in the field of fire safety with the indirect interaction of a training specialist and a lecturer. The demand for this form of education, the effectiveness of learning the educational material largely depends on the ratio of digital technologies used in the educational process.

The purpose of the study is to analyze modern technologies for organizing the educational process of distance learning in the basics of fire safety to improve the quality of educational services and motivate employees of organizations to study in a distance format. The constant development of computer technologies leads to the improvement of the distance learning format, the search for new methodological solutions.

Materials and methods. The results of the study were obtained as a result of the analysis of existing developments and approaches to distance learning. The work on the organization of distance learning in general and teaching the basics of fire safety in this format to Russian and English-speaking researchers is considered. The analysis of best practices and technological innovations in the field of distance learning is carried out. The legal basis of the study is the normative legal acts of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the research includes methods of theoretical research (analysis, synthesis, generalization, modeling), graphic and comparative method.

Results. The authors conducted a comparison of full-time and distance learning. The general characteristic factors, as well as the features of the distance-learning format are considered.

Modern distance education technologies use software, hardware and educational theories to facilitate the learning process and increase the assimilation of knowledge. Thus, the virtual learning environment is a complex of computer technologies and pedagogical design, which allows having a qualitative impact on the formation and actualization of competencies in the field of fire safety. The organization of training in this format is an effective solution not only for the employee of the organization (the listener) but also for the lecturer. Distance learn- ing in the field of fire safety, organized based on a virtual learning environment, can provide pre-certification training for employees of organizations, and the lecturer can use modern training tools for the educational interaction.

The authors propose a scheme of the educational environment for the listener, as well as the algorithm of the lecturer’s work in the format of distance learning in the basics of fire safety. Recommendations are given on the organization and presentation of educational material, taking into account the psychological characteristics of the perception of information, as well as the professional specifics of the listeners.

Conclusion. The development of modern digital technologies has influenced the organization of training at all levels of education, including the professional training of employees of organizations. In order to achieve high educational results and acquire the necessary competencies in the field of fire safety, it is necessary to improve the system of digitalization of the educational environment, transformation of forms of material presentation and the introduction of innovative technological learning tools. High-quality training of specialists of organizations will have an impact on the formation of fire-safe behavior, reduce the risk of fire on the territory of the organization.

Abstract

The purpose of the study. The article discusses the research and further development of modern cyber-physical systems of the Internet of Things (CPS IoT). Researchers in the field of psychology, logic, lin- guistics, philosophy, for the study of artificial intelligence, used many different models of this phenomenon of “man”. Currently, the search for new approaches continues. One of the interesting approaches lies in the development of the application of cognitive mechanisms that a person uses in solving everyday tasks. The application of methods of gestalt processing of states of the CPS IoT worldview is considered to solve an ever-expanding range of tasks. Hybrid or, as they are also called, combined models can be used for gestalt processing to solve various tasks of cyber-physical systems of the Internet of Things related to forecasting indexes of the functioning of socio-economic systems. To do this, you can use a long-known approach to hybrid- ization, the essence of which is to split the entire set of initial data into subsets of initial data. The main stages of gestalt processing and one of the initial stages – the formation of a need are shown. The significant moments of the organization of interaction of CPS IoT modules with the environment are presented. In the demo example, the CPS IoT of the estate museum is considered. The main elements of the formation of the need for CPS IoT in organizing and conducting excursions are described.

Materials and methods of research. To solve problems within the framework of gestalt processing of CPS IoT, new methods and developments of specialists in the field of intelligent systems are re- quired. Hybrid, combined models can be used for gestalt processing for various tasks of cyber-physical systems of the Internet of Things related to forecasting indexes of the functioning of socio-economic systems. You can use a long-known approach to hybridization, the essence of which is to split the entire set of initial data into subsets of initial data. It is possible to use gestalt processing within the framework of a holistic approach when splitting into subsets of the initial data - clusters. The cognitive approach uses sensory images, concept-representations, concept-scenarios and gestalts. The CPS IoT gestalt can be considered as one of the approaches to solving modern problems within the framework of Industry 4.0 technology. The article describes intelligent cyber-physical systems using methods of gestalt processing of their states - a picture of the world. Approaches to the use of needs and one of the many approaches to the formation of the needs of cyber-physical systems of the Internet of Things are considered.

Results. Within the framework of the cognitive approach, con- cepts-representations of CPS IoT for arising (emerging) needs and their fixation are proposed. After fixing the need, as the main stages of its formation, the following are highlighted: concretization of the event, collection of relevant initial data for the need; formation (folding of perceived information) of the gestalt: checking the state of the necessary elements, searching for resources in the environment; organization of contact with the environment. These stages of the formation of the need relate to CPS IoT of any nature and are fo- cused on any tasks of the Internet of Things. It is advisable to save scenarios for the formation of needs for possible reuse in the future. The demo example shows an example of the formation of a need for CPS IoT during an excursion.

Conclusion. The article considers a cognitive approach related to the use and development of intelligent cyber-physical systems for the Internet of Things and the Internet of everything. The main stages of the formation of the need for CPS IoT are considered. The implementation of the proposed approach, the development and use of gestalt concepts will allow reflecting CPS IoT with new emergent properties.

Abstract

In present time, distributed computing systems with parallel data processing are widely used. During development of such distributed systems problem of analyzing workload and structure parameters impact on system performance is presented. Special attention have to be pointed towards evaluating time spent by requests in queues and effects of prioritization algorithms on it.

To evaluate computing system’s time characteristics different modeling methods can be used, most effective of which is simulation modeling. It is important, however, not to just conduct modeling, but to make sure that results are accurate.

The purpose of this research is acquiring time characteristics of distributed computing system with use of simulation modeling with certain accuracy and estimation of modeling time required.

To achieve this task simulation model was developed, which represents functioning of distributed computing systems in set period and takes into account prioritization algorithm, and workload model, which corresponds with selected computational system class. The GPSS language was used to implement the model. Based on the obtained simulation results, it is possible to compare the impact of different algorithms for processing priority requests depending on the parameters of the workload and structure. To evaluate accuracy of results regenerative method of model analysis was used, which is based on concepts of regenerative process and regeneration points.

In this paper results of average time spent by requests in queue in dependence with used prioritization algorithm research are presented, as well as time required to achieve desired accuracy. Due to this, it is possible to reasonably recommend the most advantageous of the considered prioritization algorithms for implementation in the developed computing system, depending on the requirements.

The presented approach to the analysis of the functioning of distributed computing systems and the assessment of their temporal characteristics will also undoubtedly be useful in the educational process for teaching students in the courses “Computer systems” and “Simulation modeling”.

Abstract

Purpose of research. The purpose of the paper is to describe the possibilities of including tasks for the design, development, use and experimental evaluation of “inverted” educational resources in the professional training of future teachers of mathematics and computer science for the development of their subject-methodical readiness. The formation and development of subject-methodical readiness is the main goal of professional training of future lecturers at a pedagogical university. The process of creating “inverted” educational resources requires from their author quite serious subject and methodological training. Potentially, the inclusion of tasks for the design, development, expertise, practical use and evaluation of “inverted” educational resources in the professional training of future teachers of mathematics and computer science can create conditions conducive to the formation of competencies of future teachers to create a comprehensive educational process in a digital environment. Since, on the one hand, in such didactic means, the educational content should be presented systematized and structured, have logic and hierarchical connections. On the other hand, the problematic issues included in the resources should reflect specific subject educational results in accordance with a given taxonomic model in the curriculum.

Materials and methods. Based on the analysis of theoretical and methodological sources, the article substantiates the relevance of the problem of finding new ways and means of implementing additional subject training in mathematics and computer science for both schoolchildren and future teachers in the context of digitalization of education. The analysis of examples of “inverted” educational resources, which are the results of the implementation of project tasks by undergraduate students of the Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V.P. Astafiev, is presented. Through theoretical and methodological substantiation, the main possibilities of including tasks for working with such resources at different stages of professional training of future teachers of mathematics and computer science at a pedagogical university are synthesized.

Results. In this study, the problems related to the possibility of including “inverted” educational resources as digital didactic tools in the training programs of future teachers of mathematics and computer science were updated. The authors’ position on the issue of the purpose of such teaching tools in the context of the digitalization of education is presented and substantiated. Examples of the results of the implementation of project tasks by senior students during the 2021-2022 academic year were demonstrated. The key didactic and information technology features, possible tools for creating “inverted” educational resources are given. The definition of the subject-methodical readiness of the future teacher of mathematics and computer science as an essential component of professional readiness is concretized. The possibilities of strengthening subject-methodical training by including tasks for work with “inverted” educational resources are described: analytical – in junior courses when mastering disciplines related to the use of digital technologies in education; project – in the middle courses when mastering methodological disciplines; experimental and expert - in the senior courses when passing industrial (pedagogical) practice and mastering the final disciplines of the professional educational program of higher pedagogical education.

Conclusion. On a final note, the results and conclusions obtained in the paper are summarized; the key positions of the authors on the inclusion of “inverted” educational resources in the professional training of future teachers of mathematics and computer science are given. The materials of the article may be of interest to lecturers of pedagogical universities who train future teachers, representatives of schools cooperating with organizations of higher pedagogical education, researchers in the field of digitalization and digital transformation of education.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe new approaches to the practical reaction of the educational process of training business informatics specialists to the modern challenges of digitalization of society in the field of formation of emotional intelligence of university graduates. In conditions of uncertainty, instability, high turbulence of the environment, business requirements for graduates of the education system are changing significantly: there is a transformation of the priorities of requirements from the simple formation of knowledge to skills and abilities to demonstrate the capability to work in extreme conditions, having stress resistance, high emotional intelligence. Business practice shows that in the conditions of post-pandemic and turbulence of the environment, the elements of emotional and professional “burnout” of employees significantly increase, which leads to a decrease in productivity and quality of work. These circumstances indicate the urgent relevance of the mobile restructuring of the training process, primarily in the field of digitalization of business and society as a whole.

Materials and methods. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach was applied, implemented at the intersection of pedagogy, management, cultural studies, business philosophy, psychology, mathematical statis- tics, and information technology. The method of contextual analysis and synthesis of factual material was used to study the current state of the problem from publicly available information sources. The study was conducted from 2019 to 2022 at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation among students of the 4th year of bachelor’s degree and 1-2 years of master’s degree in the direction of training “Business Informatics”, studying in the profile “IT management in business”. The analysis of the existing system of training specialists shows that it is not able, even after the master’s degree, to provide business with employees who are able to carry out their functional duties with a high degree of stress tolerance, good emotion management, effective practical skills in information and communication processes in conditions of uncertainty and high turbulence.

Results. Based on the results of the analysis of the information available in the public domain, the main trends in changing the requirements for practical skills and abilities of university graduates in the specialty business informatics have been identified. Using feedback from graduates of a Financial University working in Russian business, as well as with their employer managers, a list of core competencies has been compiled that are lacking in the modern educational process of universities, or which are only fragmentary in the list of Federal State Educational Standards of the Russian Federation. The authors of this work over the past four years have failed to assess the level of competence of graduates of bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the field of study “Business Informatics”. This result showed the urgent need to shift the emphasis of the educational process from the formation of a typical set of knowledge among students towards the formation of skills and abilities in the field of work in extreme conditions, the formation of stress resistance and emotional intelligence. Within the framework of possible corrections of working educational programs for bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in business informatics, the authors began using methods and technologies for the formation of emotional intelligence, the use of tools for assessing and self-evaluating the level of competence in the elements that determine the emotional formation and development of personality.

Conclusion. The analysis of doing business in the conditions of a pandemic and high turbulence of the environment showed the importance of transforming the personnel training system towards shifting priorities to the field of developing skills and abilities to work in extreme conditions, the ability to manage emotions. The higher education system, from the point of view of modern business requirements, is obliged to form, along with the total amount of knowledge (Intelligence Quotient, IQ), emotional intelligence (Emo- tion Quotient, EQ) among university graduates. The experience of evaluating graduates of bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Business Informatics at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation shows a low level of EQ that is unacceptable from the point of view of business requirements. However, even with the fragmentary introduction of the basic elements of EQ formation during the implementation of master’s degree programs in the 1st and 2nd courses, the level of basic competencies in the field of emotional intelligence formation increases significantly.

PROBLEMS OF INFORMATIZATION OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The purpose of the study. The article is devoted to the analysis and justification of the effect of digital transformation of enterprises based on the development of effective business models that support modern digital technologies and ensure increased labour productivity. A critical analysis of the impact of digitalization on business efficiency has been carried out. It is shown that the introduction of modern digital technologies does not automatically increase the efficiency of companies, but it is necessary to carry out changes within the company as part of new business models. An urgent task is set to investigate the models of changes in organizational and economic relations at enterprises as a result of the adaptation of the principles and methods of Scientific Organization of Labour (SOL) in relation to new digital technologies.

Materials and methods of research. The article provides an analytical review of a large number of publications devoted to substantiating the effect of digital transformation of enterprises and organizations. As research methods, the analysis of complex changes in the mechanisms of coordination of performers of business processes, redistribution of their functions, and modification of the organizational structure of the enterprise based on the method of Scientific Organization of Labour is proposed. The use of a combination of these methods will allow the implementation of corporate information systems in accordance with a business model adequate to the conditions of the enterprise, taking into account the principles and methods of Scientific Organization of Labour.

Results. It is proposed to separate the external and internal aspects of the digital transformation of the enterprise. As an external aspect, the influence of digital technologies on changing business models is justified from the point of view of a new business strategy. As an internal aspect, it is proposed to consider the change in organizational and economic relations of employees of enterprises in production and business processes, taking into account the principles and methods of Scientific Organization of Labour.

Conclusion. The novelty of the research lies in the substantiation of the effect of digital transformation of the enterprise based on the development of principles and methods of Scientific Organization of Labour (SOL); in the systematic consideration of the concept of digital transformation, in which the condition of necessity is the use of adequate digital technologies in the business processes of the enterprise, and the condition of sufficiency is a change in organizational and economic relations within the framework of the business models being implemented. As a recommendation, the need to include research on the adaptation of methods of Scientific Organization of Labour in relation to the digital transformation of domestic enterprises and organizations in national technological initiatives is justified. These studies should be based on the achievements of the Russian scientific school in the fields of system analysis, cybernetics and computer science.
