ATS BASED ON METHODS OF OPTIMIZATION AND DECISION MAKING
FOR SELF-PREPARATION OF STUDENTS.
“TEACHER” MODULE.
In work the results on development of the module
"Teacher" who is included in structure of automated training system
on methods of optimization and acceptance of the decisions are submitted. The
given system is developed within the framework of scientific research work on a
theme “Development of methods of creation of interactive educational-methodical
WEB-resources for faculty of high SCHOOL", carrying out on faculty
"Technical cybernetics". The module "Teacher" consists of
the following blocks: “Authentification”, “Students", “Teachers”, “Laboratory
works”, “Administration”, “Report making”, “Statistics”, “Testing” and “Help”.
The program application was developed on the basis of DELPHI version 7 with a
system of management of relation databases InterBase utilization.
In the last dozens of
years, volumes and complexity of educational materials studied in universities
significantly increased. At the same
time, many universities possess of insufficient number of high-qualified
faculty. Development, publishing and
distribution of different educational materials are often associated with big
difficulties. These factors have a negative effect on the quality of education
of students. In this connection, an
important role is given to application of progressive educational methods
including utilization of computer technologies [1-2].
Credit educational
system implies a lot of self-preparation for the students. Therefore, educational goal of the
department website is to create appropriate conditions for the students to
prepare for their classes.
One of the ways to
activate and encourage students for self-preparation is development of
automated training systems (ATS). In
the frames of scientific research work “Development of methods of creation of
interactive educational-methodical WEB-resources for faculty of high SCHOOL”,
there being developed structures, models, and methods of creation and support
of AES for the major disciplines of a specialty 050703 – “Information systems”
similarly to the example of a discipline “Adoption solution theory”. Based on
the requirements to automated educational systems, it was chosen an AES
structure which comprises of three main modules: client module “Teacher”,
client module “Student” and server module.
Client module “Student” was described in the work [3].
Let us take a more
thorough look on the client module “Teacher”, which consists of the following
sub-systems:
In a subsystem "Аутентификация" there is a direct
input(entrance) in клиентский the module of the program by input логина, password and level of access.
1) The sub-system
“Authentification” a user enters the client module of the program by entering a
login, password, and a type of access. By a chosen type of access, a number of
user’s rights for DB manipulation are determined.
2) Sub-system “Administration”
consists of blocks “Students”, “Teachers”, “Laboratory works” and “Settings”.
In this sub-system, administration of account information, removing and adding
of users can be done both for the client module “Student” and client module
“Teacher”. This sub-system provides an opportunity to work with the students
data, review results, change of data, open or close an access for a student to
perform a laboratory work. Also there
is an opportunity to add, delete, edit of laboratory works. “Settings” block allows reviewing and
changing of data for all registered users of the.
3) Sub-system “Report making” represents a system of making
and displaying of reports on students’ progress, tests results (for current
laboratory works and a final test).
This report shows such information as average grade for all performed
laboratory works, maximum grade, etc. This sub-system helps to monitor
educational process for a faculty member.
4) Sub-system “Statistics” gives a user an opportunity to
review progress results for a single student or a group of students as a
diagram.
5) Sub-system “Testing”. This sub-system is a faculty’s
instrument for creating, changing, adding, or removing of test questions. This
sub-system allows creating tests adding them from a file with an extension RTF
or inputting them directly into the program. The sub-system includes functions
of creating formulas and inserting them inside a question or answer, and also
creating and inserting of graphical objects for their further utilization in questions
and answers.
6) Sub-system “Help”. Here, users have an access to
information about the program, authors, and also instruction for the program
utilization. For a better understanding of the information, the informational
system includes animation clips with comments.
7) Sub-system “Exit” allows changing of users or exit the
system.
At the present time, the problems of development and
effectiveness improvement of educational process attract much attention not
only from university faculty but also the students. Computer programmed
educational and control systems becoming more and more popular in
universities. Automated educational
system for the discipline “Theory o decision making” was developed to help
students learning new material.
