Formation of Educational Materials Following an Independently Established Educational Standard

Abstract

Various IT industry technical problems during the pandemic have become quite notable. The problem is an insufficient amount of graduates, and that they have been taught the wrong way. Existing educational standards in IT lag behind the needs of business, and graduates do not have the necessary skills. To make up for the lag, the Ministry of Education developed an approach to modify the standards dynamically. However, questions arise: who and how will carry out the modernization of syllabi of courses? How quickly can teachers adapt to new topics, and what plans will they develop for lessons? What training materials will they have to prepare? And where will they take time for all that? It would be good if such a job were done once in about 15–20 years, like a case with mathematics. But in our case, even in five years, the course becomes obsolete. Therefore, a qualified teacher will have to find time almost every year to make the necessary changes, immerse in new topics, modernize the curriculum, prepare teaching materials, and arrange it all following the standards. The best thing you can think of here is to use software tools that ease the job. There are such tools, but they either do not allow to modify the curriculum dynamically or are not very convenient to use. We offer relatively simple software tools that reduce the complexity of preparing educational materials and free up the teacher's time for more productive activities.
