Towards shedding some light on such problems and promoting software testing, professors in the area have established Massive Open Online Courses as educational initiatives. However, the main limitation is the professor’s lack of supervision of students. A conversation agent called TOB-STT has been defined in trying to avoid the problem. A previous study introduced TOB-STT; however, it did not analyze its efficacy. This article addresses a controlled experiment that analyzed its efficacy and revealed it was not expressive in its current version. Therefore, we conducted an in-depth analysis to find what caused this result and provided a detailed discussion. The findings contribute to the TOB-STT since the experimental results show that improvements need to be made in the conversational agent before we use it in Massive Open Online Courses.","PeriodicalId":45270,"journal":{"name":"Informatics in Education","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79371572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Teaching Software Engineering using Abstraction through Modeling","authors":"Mohsen Dorodchi, Nasrin Dehbozorgi, Mohammadali Fallahian, Seyedamin Pouriyeh","doi":"10.15388/infedu.2021.23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15388/infedu.2021.23","url":null,"abstract":". Teaching software engineering (SWE) as a core computer science course (ACM, 2013) is a challenging task. The challenge lies in the emphasis on what a large-scale software means, implementing teamwork, and teaching abstraction in software design while simultaneously engaging students into reasonable coding tasks. The abstraction of the system design is perhaps the most critical and theoretical part of the course and requires early engagement of the students with the necessary topics followed by implementation of the abstract model consistently. Normally, students would take such courses in the undergraduate curriculum sequence after data structures and/or object-oriented design/programming. Therefore, they would be able to learn about systematic modeling of software as a system. In this work, we address how to facilitate the teaching of SWE by introducing abstract modeling. Furthermore, functional decomposition is reviewed as a critical component which in turn, requires understanding of how different tasks are accomplished by enterprise software. Combining such pieces with concepts of architecture and design patterns of software provides foundational knowledge for students to be able to navigate around enterprise software in the real world.","PeriodicalId":45270,"journal":{"name":"Informatics in Education","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75433037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Use of a decision support system based on the Bayesian classifier is suggested to assess and evaluate factors contributing to the progress in teaching students particular techniques, and in perspective to assess the possible resources that will be required to make changes to the learning plan. The existing approaches to the assessment of students academic performance are analyzed. The list of specific performance indicators, which are important to be taken into account when assessing the achievements of students of creative specialties, is given.

Technical progress, informatization of education, the emergence of modern software for visualization of information change the activities of teachers who need to master new technologies of information visualization for use in the classroom and in work with gifted children. Visual models for presenting educational information and methods of their processing with the use of computer programs are also relevant in extracurricular activities, allowing to develop the intellectual abilities of schoolchildren. Teachers are required to teach children to create projects in which visibility is a necessary component and must be represented by an electronic product created using modern information visualization tools. The article proposes a variant of the advanced training course for teachers of mathematics and informatics on teaching methods for visualization of solving problems using graphs and the free software “Graphoanalyzator”. The relevance of the course is due to the need to form the competency to carry out targeted work with gifted children in the use of software for creating and processing graphs based on the graph visualization program “Graphoanalyzator”. The authors believe that the training of teachers on this course will contribute to the formation of their skills to solve problems of mathematical modeling in informatics and mathematics, to apply information technologies to solve pedagogical problems in the context of informatization of education. ","PeriodicalId":45270,"journal":{"name":"Informatics in Education","volume":"15 1","pages":"31-41"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2021-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78494408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main directions of the work of the admission committee are highlighted: organizational and methodological, technological, the actual admission campaign and generalization, as the final stage at which the results of the admission campaign are summed up. The features of each of the directions are highlighted and the IT tools that were used for them are indicated. It is shown that over the past two decades, IT tools have undergone drastic changes, which are associated with an increase in the functionality of the admission committee. Arguments are given in support of the thesis that the solution for automating the management activities of the university, in particular for the admission campaign, over the past years has been a domestic software on the 1C:Enterprise platform — the 1C:University system. The article presents the stage-by-stage coordination of the admission campaign — from planning and forming the required list of documents (application of the applicant, receipt, examination sheets) to processing information about entrance examinations and USE results, forming enrollment orders. It is shown that the 1C:University system occupies an important place in the automation of many processes taking place in the admission office of the university.

Despite the huge number of university graduates with diplomas in the field of economics and management, in recent years there has been a widespread deficit of qualified specialists. Even successful graduates, possessing a sufficiently large amount of theoretical knowledge in the field of economics and management, are not able to apply this knowledge to solve practical problems of modern business. The main reason for this is the creation of curricula in many educational institutions as a set of disciplines read in different semesters without taking into account their interrelationships and without reference to the main target function of vocational education that is the formation of a specialist. This problem is especially acute in regions where the main “consumers” of educational institutions’ services are mini- and microbusiness, which requires mastering a wide range of practice oriented competencies based on the widespread use of information technologies. The most important, according to the authors, the requirements of mini- and microbusiness, as a potential employer of most graduates of educational institutions of economic profile, to potential employees, are formulated in the article. The work is based on the experience of using the cloud service edu.1CFresh from the 1C company in order to implement a system approach in training specialists in the field of economics and management. The capabilities of the service showed themselves especially brightly during the period of pandemic restrictions, the use of the service made it possible to maintain and even to some extent increase the effectiveness of training due to the redistribution of lectures and practical classes. The service acts as a technological basis for the formation of models of real business processes and is the center around which the knowledge gained in the study of special disciplines is collected. The article discusses the methods for organizing various forms of educational activities using the edu.1CFresh service in the process of training bachelors in “Management” and “Economics” directions.","PeriodicalId":45270,"journal":{"name":"Informatics in Education","volume":"27 1","pages":"49-54"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82279622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
