Paper Abstract:
|
An educational curriculum is a path of learning that students should follow in their study. It consists of learning modules aimed at mastering skills and developing the necessary competencies within the qualification framework. Each module is logically completed and contains a set of related disciplines which responsible for certain group of competencies. Modularity is an attractive approach to organization of study since it provides variability and flexibility of a learning path. However, modularity significantly complicates the process of curriculum planning and developing. The goal of this work is to propose an efficient tool for planning and analysis of educational curricula, based on the mathematical apparatus of the lattice theory. We use formal lattices as a method of studying the consistency and coherence of an educational curriculum. The advantages of this method are clear algorithmization, restrictions on the inclusion of new entities and concepts, automated construction of the hierarchy of relations, analysis of collisions. |
