Kuzma E. Information technology of decision-making support for education process control in the institutions of higher education

The thesis is devoted to the creation of the information technology for the learning activity score and its results analysis of the participants of educational process in the institutions of higher education. The information technology provides the decision-making support to control the educational process by tutors, lecturers and the administration of the University. In the research the mathematical model of the educational process is devised as a continuous Markov model of the trainability level in its transition with the fragment-fixed functions of the transition intensities. The model permits to analyze the processes of learning and unlearning of the trained objects. The investigation of the model is algorithmized with computer-assisted technology, based on the analytical modeling procedure of the fragment Markov systems. In terms of the time-series techniques the computational technology is proposed to classify the educational process participants into four groups, according to their trainability level. The technology resolves the problem of the students' knowledge evaluation based on the processing of their answers while accomplishing the task. The conceptualization of the decision-making support system to control the university educational process is offered; on its basis the visual problem statement technology and the open network architecture ManageEdu 1.0 for the assessment and analysis of students' educational performance were developed. The results of the thesis introduced in the Odesa State Academy of technological regulation and quality, Mykolaiv Polytechnic Institute and Research Institute of Geology of the Dnipropetrovsk Oles Gonchar National University.
