Abstract

The article deals with the creation and use of the cloud-oriented environment for flipped learning in the process of training future IT specialists in higher education institutions. It describes the organization of the students’ project work based on flipped learning using the services and resources of the cloud-oriented educational environment. It identified the following components of such an environment: resources of the university’s training portal, mass open online courses, profession-oriented software applications and project management services. The present research offers the model of flipped learning for the implementation of the cross-disciplinary project for the formation of professional and personal competences of future IT specialists. It provides the results of an experimental study of the effectiveness of the proposed cloud-oriented environment application in the implementation of the cross-disciplinary project from the perspective of students and teachers by three criteria: functionality for professional activity, project management and flipped learning.

We conducted an expert evaluation using a survey among students of National University of Life and Environmental Sciences (NULES) of Ukraine
In the course of the study, which lasted for 3 years, a cloud-oriented environment was designed to perform cross-disciplinary projects under the flipped learning technology in the process of training future IT specialists

Summary

Introduction

Sustainable development depends on innovation and the introduction of ICT in various sectors of the economy and livelihoods. That is why providing inclusive and equitable quality education, promoting lifelong learning for all, is one of the global goals of sustainable development. The issue of training quality IT professionals is especially relevant in the context of achieving sustainable development goals, as modern innovation is based on the widespread use of IT.
