Educational and Research Project in the System of Formation of Digital Culture Competencies
Abstract
The dependence of the large-scale national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" and modernization of training of IT specialists is discussed. The most promising approach for the educational process from the point of view of researchers is the project approach. It is actively being implemented in the training of various educational institutions for the preparation of bachelors and masters in the field of information technology. The application of such projects as priority ones at the Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University is being investigated. The article provides an educational and research project on finding the optimal schedule for sugar beet processing as an indicative one. This project has the following advantages: a powerful theoretical basis, a close connection of the educational material with reality, intuitive algorithms related to the numerical solution of the problem. The progress of this work is described. To check the student's readiness for the experimental part, the authors of the project have prepared a theoretical part. In total, the authors have prepared 4 stages of this project. The ability to find quasi-optimal solutions to an optimization problem in practice is tested, among other things. At the output, it is mandatory to present graphs of objective functions for various plans for processing batches of beets obtained as a result of the operation of a program written in the popular algorithmic Python language. This is necessary for the ability to visualize and compare the results obtained by applying various tactics and processing plans, and then choose the best one. At the same time, students have the experience of merging science and the IT industry in this educational process, without which it is impossible to be a competitive graduate in the modern world. The use of the project approach is a highly effective means of forming digital culture competencies and modernizing the educational process of training specialists in the field of information technology.
