Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the impact of the hybrid cloud-based learning environment providing resources and services to implement interdisciplinary projects in the course of studies on the efficiency of education. A combination of modern methods of pedagogical studies was applied to address the set problems. The authors used theoretical methods, such as analysis, generalisation, comparison, synthesis, and systematisation of research literature and teaching aids providing visibility in terms of the current outlook of the analysed problem and developing and introducing a hybrid cloud-based learning environment to support interdisciplinary projects. The authors also used empirical methods, such as pedagogical experiments, to determine the impact of digital services in the hybrid cloud-based learning environment on students' performance in each discipline of interdisciplinary projects and their profiles in the course of the project. For numeric processing of research findings and statistical tests for objectivity, the authors used methods of mathematical statistics. The case is made for using cloud computing in the education of future professionals. Experimental analysis is conducted to determine the impact of the hybrid cloud-based learning environment providing resources and services to implement interdisciplinary projects in the course of studies on the efficiency of education. The positive impact is shown for the hybrid cloud-based learning in terms of students' progress. The results can make the basis for developing and introducing a hybrid cloud-based learning environment to support interdisciplinary projects. The scientific novelty of this study is underscored by the analysis of the impact of digital services of the hybrid cloud-based learning environment on the efficiency of educating future professionals in the course of an interdisciplinary project.

Summary

Introduction

The advance of science and technology and the development of the information society create the need for reshaping the content of higher education and making sure the education system rapidly adapts to any changes (Lyakhova et al, 2020; Silaeva et al, 2020). The new economy poses new requirements for educating future professionals and realising their intellectual potential. This entails the need to implement information and communications technology (ICT) in the educational process (Milovanova et al, 2020; Golubeva et al, 2020). The project defines 30 generic competences (instrumental, interpersonal, and systemic) shaping the general profile of studies in a modern higher education institution (HEI). This includes the two critical highlights, such as the "ability to organise and plan" and the "ability to work independently" (Donà dalle Rose & Haug, 2013). These competences are directly developed in, and make the outcomes of, a properly organised educational process
