The article analyzes the place and role of pedagogical assessment in the organization of the educational process in higher education institutions. It highlights that the objective results of assessment are an important component in the formation of a competence approach to the professional training of modern specialists. Generalized theoretical developments of domestic and foreign scientists on the given problem are considered, the analysis of which proves that pedagogical assessment has always ranked high in providing educational services. It is noted that although placement, diagnostic, progress, achievement, and proficiency tests have been the main forms of assessment in higher education institutions for quite some time, with the beginning of digitalization of educational system, objective conditions have led to implementation of pedagogical assessment using information and communication technologies. A global pandemic as well as the war in Ukraine urge the expansion of possibilities and improvement of the quality of pedagogical assessment of students’ learning outcomes using distance learning technologies. Therefore, the state and potential of educational assessment are analyzed; results of measuring learning outcomes using distance learning technologies in higher education institutions are investigated. It was found that there are adequate conditions for distance learning of students via various Language Management Systems LMS (Moodle, Brightspace, Docebo, Edmondo, Schoology) in Ukrainian institutions of higher education. At the same time, the survey taken by the educational process stakeholders confirmed the hypothesis that faculty and students are not quite ready to accept pedagogical assessment carried out through the medium of distance learning technologies which considerably complicates objective assessment and evaluation of learning outcomes in the absence of face-to-face communication. In order to meet the present day requirements, a set of measures is proposed regarding the preparation and conduct of pedagogical assessment of students’ learning outcomes using digital technologies.

MARKOV PROCESSES IN RESEARCHING THE PROBABILITY OF CYBER ATTACKS ON MARINE VESSELS

2023-08-23T00:12:59+03:00

Shipping is increasingly relying on digital solutions for everyday tasks. There are constant updates in the field of information technology, data availability, speed of processing and transfer of data with advanced possibilities to optimize work, save costs, increase security and sustainability of business. Along with the growing dependence on automation, the risk of external interference and disruption of key systems significantly increases; hackers can interfere with the operation of the ship or navigation systems, cut off all external communications of the ship or obtain confidential data.
Research on cyber security of maritime sector facilities is quite acute today and requires constant attention and improvement.
According to cyber security experts in the maritime sector, ground and space equipment systems are most vulnerable to cyberattacks; global positioning systems, electronic cartographic and navigational information systems; flight data registration systems; cargo operations systems; engine, machine and power management systems; access control systems; ship's public internet networks; administrative systems and networks; communication systems and port infrastructure.
Analyzing the above, it can be concluded that the more data is collected, the more accurate reports and response actions to cyber threats will be performed by the ship's security management system.
A careful analysis of the sources of cyberattacks, which occur most often, allows us to assume that this is a random process that obeys the laws that are called Markov processes in the theory of probabilities (or, more precisely, stochastic processes).
The subject of the study is the construction of a model based on the properties of Markov processes, which allows for a more detailed study of the process, analysis and forecasting of the development of a cyberincident in order to make a management decision regarding further constructive actions.

MULTILEVEL INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR RECORDING THE STUDENTS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN THE CUMULATIVE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

2023-08-23T22:41:54+03:00

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on education. All over the world, educational institutions have been forced to switch to distance learning. Due to the current situation, the demand for online education and information resources to support it has grown all over the world. The issue of not only the organization of online learning, but also the processes of electronic assessment of student progress is relevant. The authors analyzed business processes in assessing students' knowledge and existing software. The main disadvantage of the existing systems of support of the educational process at the university is the limited, and sometimes inability, access to them for certain participants in the educational process, especially in the conditions of distance learning. It is determined that a system with functional capabilities is needed for the following actors: student, teacher, head of department, dean and dean's office. The data in the system must be stored in a database, and the interface for accessing them must be possible from any web browser. The work is devoted to the development of such software. The developed system has the architecture of a distributed three-tier information system with access to the database, and consists of the following main links, such as: a web server with developed software as an application server, a database server running MySQL DBMS, a web browser as a client software. The use of a success assessment system provides many advantages, including: improving the quality of information processing, speeding up work processes and increasing the availability of data for all participants in the educational process.
The COVID-19 crisis and unprecedented disruptions in the education system are far from over. Thus, the growing demand for online learning tools and related resources will remain in demand. Therefore, the developed multilevel information system for accounting for student performance is relevant now. This software will also be useful in the traditional form of learning. Because keeping an e-journal will reduce the filling of paper documents, reduce the burden on the teacher and provide easy access to information of other participants in the educational process: students and staff of the dean's office.
