Infological modeling of the space for software engineering education

Abstract

It is determined that the quality of software engineering education is influenced by modern industrial trends and IT trends, software technology tendencies, as well as the dynamics of software development teams. Given the wide range of technologies faced by groups of developers, it is determined that teaching should be based not only on the characteristics of technologies and projects, but also on the personal characteristics of programmers in accordance with the methodology of group dynamics and communications. In general, this leads to the fact that learning tasks are usually multifactorial and information overloaded. This produces educational problems related to expansion the fundamental (traditional) sets of competencies and skills and requires methodological delineation for the prospect of their wider application in pedagogical systems of software engineering. To support this area, the target audience should include industry employers and other actors. It was revealed that current issues also include problems of quality and completeness of information collected and submitted to support educational problems, questions to acquaint students with information support of decision-making processes. The approach to software engineering education is improved by modelling the integration of the requirements of current industry and IT industry trends, international recommendations, and the potential of soft skills. An ontological model of the subject area of software engineering as a basis of knowledge base of intelligent information system for application within pedagogical systems of higher education is offered. The following researches are planned, focused on the further development of the ontological model, filling it with content, creating an appropriate knowledge base and improvement of methodical materials.
