Preparing students to form customized education programs for their future

Abstract

Current trends including globalization, digitalization, informatization, computerization, etc., dictate new requirements for the forms, content and delivery methods of education. Education in the form of acquiring knowledge is replaced by the form of acquisition of competences. The actual principle of the quality and level of education is the competence approach, and in the field of providing educational services - the student-centered approach. The purpose of this work is to share the discussion regarding the trajectory of student's education with the necessary competencies for future professional activity, taking into account the student-centered approach to the educational process systems thinking required to solve complex problems, and dynamic optimization methods. The formation of the student's educational trajectory is based on the development of methodological, ontological and logical foundations of knowledge construction. Ontologies play a decisive role in the description model of the formation of such trajectories when a system of ontological descriptions of various training programs is created, which simultaneously becomes a means of methodology for the formation of new trajectories of knowledge. The use of the proposed principles of formation of the student's educational trajectories allows to make this process, on the one hand, more personalized, and on the other hand, transdisciplinary - which ensures the unification of students into study groups by courses, departments and faculties. The practical implementation of the step-by-step principles of building and installing educational programs takes place in the format of "Prism of Knowledge" based on the "Web-Software Complex – Editor of Learning Trajectory Scenarios". It provides the user with a toolkit with dynamic optimization methods for building various scenarios of the optimal learning trajectory taking into account innovations and future professional activities. Therefore, the given system of formation of knowledge trajectories allows building both personal knowledge bases and unification of groups of students, which in the future will contribute to the development of student-oriented education.
