USE OF THE SUBJECT MODELING IN DIDACTICS OF

PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

 

            І. Introduce. The modernization of higher technical education, which considers the change of paradigm and entry into the Pan-European educational space, is one of the urgent tasks of the development of contemporary society in the Ukraine. For the successful advance in the selected direction are necessary processing textbooks and teaching aids for training of baccalaureates and masters, including on higher mathematics and special disciplines. Must find a use the results of the development engineering and technologies in fifteen - twenty previous years is, in the first place, informational - communication line technologies (ICT).  

II. Raising of problem.  For increasing the effectiveness it is expedient to perform processing materials, deepening the systematization of the use of principles of didactics and, in particular, activities approach [1]. The application of an activity approach with training of future specialists is expedient to base on the modelling both the process of training and most trainee. Let us note that during processing of textbooks and teaching aids there is the great interest in the use of an object model.  

As a result the decomposition of training programs with respect to the selected direction or the specialization of training the transition to the matrix structure of training disciplines occurs. Each of them, as a rule, is correlated with the specific fundamental or applied science. Further becomes allowed transition to the object model of the course, for example, of higher mathematics, metallurgy of steel and etc.  This model includes subject, semantic, procedural, operating and functional components [1].  

Subject model shows, about what knowledge; semantic model determines the semantic part of the knowledge; procedural model describes order and nature of the transformation of the objects of knowledge; operating model presents the skills, which must be formed in the process of training; functional model determines, what functions carry out knowledge and habits. Preliminary analysis must show that the acting normative documents in the form of educational standards, affirmed programs of courses, complete sets of the materials of conveyer-line and total control are representative for the composition of object model and make it possible to build the basic components of this model. These components must be represented in the created textbooks, the teaching aids, corresponding systematic developments in the form of the actively interacting subsystems. 

Thus, for instance, the program of course represents the realization of subject and semantic models. Semantic, procedural and operating model are determined at the formation of the modular structure of course and developed teaching aids. Operating and functional models are used with planning and conducting practical and laboratory training. Acquired experience shows that the new quality of components interaction appears with the use informational - communication line technologies, in particular, computer mathematics. 

 III. Results. For using the great possibilities of  an automation of training in higher mathematics for the students of the engineering directions training with the aid of the known mathematical systems and tabular processor there  is developed and mastered laboratory practice  “An introduction of informational - computer technologies with the aid of MathCAD and MS Excel”. The elements of practice, furthermore, found a use in the course of information theory and computer technology for the students of other directions. There was published (having a signature stamp MES of the Ukraine)  training aid by higher mathematics, which includes theoretical material, examples of the solution of  tasks and exercises of standard mathematical practice “by hand”, also, with the aid of PC, control questions, 30 variants  of individual tasks and control tests for each of six modules. 

The distribution of training material is executed in accordance with the working programs of the course of higher mathematics (on the directions of training), coordinated with modular - rating form of the organization of training process. Approval of modernizing with help of  subject modelling  and using the  informational - communication line technologies of  training disciplines courses is made in Dniprodzerzhins’k state technical university and Dnipropetrovs’k state agrarian university [2].

         ІV. Conclusions. The modernization of higher technical education is the complex problem, which requires the stimulation of the innovation activity of VUZ (Institute of Higher Education), instructors (higher school teachers) and the trained students. It requires the reconsideration of the being adapted approaches, including, also, on the basis of subject modelling. The attraction of subject modelling and ICT in the process of transition to the modular - rating system organization of training contributed to the creation of the new generation systematic literature and to the organization of its use in the training process.  It continues the development of test base for conducting of rating control and examinations in the computer classes, and also the modification of training aids taking into account acquired experience.
