Structure and methods of the information-analytical system of testing and evaluating the knowledge of air traffic controllers

Abstract

The article proved that the vast majority of the population of developed countries own digital technologies and effectively use them in various fields, including education and science. The challenges and threats of the Сovid-19 pandemic, which began in 2019 and applies to all countries of the world, have changed approaches to the learning process, translating it into a virtual plane, giving a significant impetus to models and methods of distance learning, changing teaching methods and practices, transforming didactic materials and putting forward requirements for the planning of the educational process. The main trend in informatization of education is the development of innovative educational processes based on the use of information and communication technologies of distance learning, and distance learning forms of support for traditional learning based on Internet technologies. The training of air traffic controllers is quite complicated and requires constant monitoring of knowledge and skills, maintaining practical habits and training, and effective planning of class schedules. Air traffic controllers are an important component of air traffic safety, and civil aviation safety depends on their training. The transformation of the education system requires new approaches to building training systems and knowledge assessment systems for air traffic controllers. It is necessary to introduce information technologies in the activities of educational institutions that can automate the training processes, provide teachers and the educational department with tools for the intellectual planning of the educational process, provide automated assessment of knowledge, skills and habits for their further consideration in the organization of the educational process. The article developed the structure and basic methods of an information-analytical system for assessing the knowledge of air traffic control dispatchers to take into account the results obtained in the planning of the educational process. The structure of the system meets the principles of systemicity. The prospects of these studies are the integration of the developed system into the decision support system for organizing and planning the educational process at the Flight Academy to improve the quality of training of air traffic control dispatchers.
