Abstract

It is important for various participants of the educational process to be able to assess the quality of the educational program, its balance, and compliance with the stated educational results. One of the ways to analyze and evaluate the curriculum of an educational program of higher education can be the algorithm presented in the article, implemented in C++. It allows to calculate various statistical characteristics of the curriculum (for example, the number of educational units (disciplines) and their labor intensity in credits), as well as the relative contribution of an educational unit to the formation of competencies (learning outcomes).The comparative assessment of the main calculation indicators for several curricula of educational programs is implemented as a separate program module. The algorithm implements an approach that allows presenting the curriculum data in a convenient visualization form — as a weighted undirected graph, the vertices of which represent the disciplines of the curriculum, and the edges interdisciplinary links, demonstrating the participation of disciplines in the formation of the same competencies. Visualization of this representation was carried out using the Gephi software package.The program implementation of the algorithm proposed in the article may be of practical interest to scientific and pedagogical staff and administrative and managerial personnel of educational institutions of higher education

分析和评估教育计划课程的算法

对于教育过程的各个参与者来说，能够评估教育计划的质量、其平衡性以及是否符合既定的教育成果是非常重要的。本文介绍的算法是分析和评估高等教育课程的方法之一，用 C++ 实现。它可以计算课程的各种统计特征（例如，教育单元（学科）的数量及其以学分计算的劳动强度），以及教育单元对能力（学习成果）形成的相对贡献。该算法采用的方法可以将课程数据以方便的可视化形式呈现出来--作为一个加权无向图，其顶点代表课程的学科，边代表学科间联系，表明各学科在形成相同能力方面的参与情况。文章中提出的算法的程序实现可能对高等教育机构的科学和教学人员以及行政和管理人员具有实际意义。
