Abstract

The purpose of the study is to form a methodological justification for the pedagogical model of the individual trajectory of professional development of bachelors and masters for the implementation of the stages of creating an automated system based on the principles of continuity and experimental verification of its application in the educational process of the university in accordance with the requirements of IT departments, vendors and employers. It is shown that there is a gap between the socio-economic order for the training of IT specialists with high professional competence in the field of information systems and the insufficient level of targeted formation of their readiness to implement the stages of creating automated systems. In addition, the lack of methods and practical recommendations for the implementation of such systems in the context of maximum preservation of corporate standards and taking into account the requirements of Russian legislation, as well as specialists competent in these matters, determined the feasibility of conducting the study in two aspects - functional-technological and pedagogical.

Methods and materials. The key methods are structural-functional and process modeling, interactive methods of organizing the educational process (project method, etc.). The research materials include a functional model for developing a corporate technology for implementing an automated system in the form of a function tree.

Results. The results present a model of causes and factors determining the success of the projects for the implementation of the automatization systems. The role of the factor "qualification of the executing team" and the possibilities of the educational environment of the university to influence this factor are considered. The pedagogical aspect of the research problem is determined by the methodological justification for conducting students' project work within a number of disciplines for training bachelors and masters in the field of "Applied Informatics". The description of the structure and requirements for students' projects gives an idea of the level of competencies being formed, their consistency with the work functions of specialists in the field of information systems.

Conclusion. At this stage of work on the research problem, its dual nature was determined. On the one hand, modern IT projects require their own technologies and management methodologies, which should change from project to project, so it is important to have practical recommendations for the development of corporate technology for the implementation of an automated system. On the other hand, one of the success factors of the project for the implementation of an automated system is the "Project Implementation Team", its level of qualification. This factor is successfully determined and influenced by educational institutions responsible for training specialists in this field. In this direction, the project method plays a key role. It ensures the development of communication skills, the ability to independently pose a problem and develop a way to solve it together. Methodological aspects and practical results, generalizing the pedagogical model for training bachelors in the field of creating automated systems presented in the work, as well as the development of corporate technology for the implementation of information systems, are reflected in three electronic multimedia educational publications "Portfolio of Software Engineering Projects", "Theory and Practice of Implementation of IS", "Theory and Practice of Maintenance of IS".

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

The purpose of research. In recent years, web technologies have been actively used in many process control systems, including SCADA. Such systems allow continuous monitoring of the test object in real time. In this regard, there is a need for frequent data transmission for their further display. To solve this problem, network protocols are used, which continue to develop rapidly to this day.

Materials and methods. SCADA systems are used in many industries: aviation, ground transportation, rocket and space technology, systems for receiving and processing telemetry information. Among them, a class of SCADA systems operating within the intranet stands out. This can be an internal network of the enterprise, a hangar or a small test stand for tracking the indexes of measuring equipment. Therefore, today, more than ever, open and publicly available materials are important for understanding modern network solutions that reduce the time spent on data transmission and their further visualization. Such information will be of particular value to students studying network and web technologies.

Results. As a result of the research, taking into account the limitations of the SCADA system and network being developed, the time characteristics for the WebSocket and WebTransport protocols have been determined, and the most optimal solution for a typical load is proposed. In the presented paper, the issues of data transfer between the client and server parts for a class of SCADA systems operating within an intranet are considered. In this regard, it is proposed to consider the two most suitable solutions for this task. These are application layer network protocols of the OSI model: WebSocket and WebTransport. In addition, transport layer protocols (TCP and QUIC) are taken into account, since they can also affect time characteristics. Data transmission issues are considered in the context of the SCADA data display and monitoring system. The server part is developed using C#, and the client is developed using JavaScript. A number of experiments are carried out for boundary cases and typical loads, on the basis of which the dependence of data transmission time on their volume is determined.

Conclusion. The approach given in the paper on collecting network traffic and analyzing time characteristics will also be useful as part of the educational process for teaching students in the courses “Computer Networks” and “Internet Technologies”.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the concept of professional education in the era of digitalization, the importance of media platforms and social networks in preparing students for successful professional activity. Professional education is the basis of the educational process, which plays an important role in the development of society. It concerns not only students’ professional competencies, but also their personal qualities necessary for sustainable development in the conditions of modern economy and social environment. The concept of professional education concerns individuals and has significant implications both at the level of the country and in the global community. The main aspects of the social benefits of professional education are its contribution to the development of the economy, social stability, reduction of social constraints, the possibility for each person to achieve success in professional activities, the formation of civic responsibility and social solidarity. Thus, professional education contributes to the emergence of professionals who can adapt to the changing conditions of the labor market caused by new technologies, innovation and automation. Countries that pay attention to professional education have higher rates of competitiveness on the world stage and ensure stable economic development. Professional education helps to shape social norms and values and to adapt to the challenges of the digital age. Innovations contribute to cultural and economic growth, and professional education helps to develop these qualities in students. The article discusses the objectivity of lecturers’ and students’ interest in media platforms and social networks as new forms of professional education, training and expansion of educational space. The objective regularity and interest of researchers in studying this topic are highlighted.

Materials and methods of research. The basis of the study is formed by domestic and foreign, scientific and research, philosophical and pedagogical literature, normative-legal acts, laws and regulations of the Russian Federation in the field of education and upbringing of youth.

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to develop the computer-modeling system of an agronomist’s labor functions as the most optimal solution for teaching preschoolers and primary schoolchildren about trends and technologies in farming, aimed at increasing the attractiveness of professions in the field of agriculture. Among the main objectives of the research is the study of the essence of computer modeling as a teaching method in the works of domestic scientists, as well as the construction of models and their implementation using high-level programming languages in order to obtain an information system for the labor functions of an agronomist.

Materials and methods. In the course of the analysis, a study was carried out of scientific and technical literature on the use of computer-modeling systems in the educational field. The analysis of the market for computer-modeling systems in the agricultural sector of crop production was carried out. When visualizing and describing system models, UML modeling notation was used. A diagram of use cases for this notation made it possible to describe the functional requirements and interactions between the system and its user. A UML notation sequence diagram was used to model the interaction of the main menu, game scene, and game character over time. The class diagram made it possible to define the structure of the system and the relationships between its objects, as well as an overview of the attributes and operations of the identified classes. The designed system models were implemented in the C# programming language in the Visual Studio development environment.

Results. The study revealed the need to introduce new forms, methods and means of teaching into the content of the modern educational process, the implementation of which, largely, is carried out using information technology. The most optimal solution to the issue of teaching children about trends and technologies in agriculture, which has become relevant in the light of the rapid development of agriculture and its digital transformation, was the introduction of computer- modeling systems. The analysis of literature on the research problem has shown that in the works of L. Zhuk, M. Larionova, N. Rozova, etc. great attention is paid to the use of computer modeling as a teaching tool. According to the author, the use of this technology in the educational process makes it possible to implement such teaching principles as the principle of integrative learning, the principle of a practice-oriented approach, the principle of differentiation of learning and the principle of dialogical learning. There are no domestic developments in the subject area under consideration on the information systems market. The author of the study designed and implemented, using the object-oriented programming language C#, the computer-modeling system of agronomist’s labor functions as a technology for teaching professional tasks of an agronomist at various stages of agrarian evolution. The proposed solution allows you to be acquainted with four significant agrarian revolutions that played a decisive role in the transformation of agriculture: the Neolithic revolution, the Renaissance agricultural revolution, the green revolution and the digital revolution in agriculture.

 Conclusion. It is important to note that the computer-modeling system of the labor functions of agronomist is of interest for preschool and primary education institutions. This development can also be used in the system of additional education for children. Using a computer game in the educational process will expand children’s knowledge about agriculture: it will familiarize them with different agricultural processes, such as planting, growing and harvesting crops, as well as with various types of crop cultivation technologies. This will contribute to the development of interest in the study of agriculture and, as a result, the growth of students’ motivation to connect their professional activities with agriculture.
