Abstract

The reality of digital economy changes rapidly and sets flexible, modular and asynchronous structure of the training process, to prepare specialists possessing the necessary professional competence. At the same time, the bachelor’s program must meet the requirements of regulatory documents. Therefore, an educational institution needs an automated development of individual curricula that ensure formation of relevant competence through student’s participation in various forms of educational activities, including electronic courses.

This work aims at creation of an information model of the curriculum allowing to automate the process of curriculum development in the framework of the competence-based learning approach.

The proposed model is based on competence maps as a part of educational standard describing the disciplines of the curriculum in terms of ensuring the development of professional competences of a future specialist. Using these maps Competences and Disciplines matrices are built. The model curriculum is implemented as a three-dimensional array and curriculum requirements are formalized using the apparatus of Boolean algebra.

A method proposes an automated curriculum development by constructing corresponding arrays of Boolean vectors allowing to develop the curriculum that forms the competence of a specialist in line with the requirements of regulatory documents.
