Application of multicriterial method in decision process of staff selection

Abstract

Modern, active, even experience-based methods of instruction are among basic prerequisites for quality higher education. Drawing students into the qualification and education process and attributing them with the role of partners in relation to their teachers already became a necessity. For this reason the article focuses on presentation of process and results of the newest educational experiment realized at Faculty of Security Engineering of the University of Žilina, whose aim was to strengthen the vocational skills and competences of students. Method of continual simulation of activities of virtual company has been selected as experimental educational method. Based on analysis, synthesis and generalization of theoretical knowledge of creative educational methods, the methodological part focuses on detailed description of basis, elements and process of applied simulation; selection of new employees in company that provides services in private security has been simulated. Utilizing data and criteria resulting from simulated analysis of work positions, students subsequently worked in the environment of multicriterial decisions, and applied procedures defined for method of analysis of hierarchical processes. Conclusion of the article discusses and summarizes the key findings and defines recommendations, through which the presented simulation method can acquire even higher quality and can become a fully-fledged part of the educational

Computational informatics in the training of future informatics teachers in the context of the development of modern education

“…In the structure of information and computational competence of informatics teacher, it is also important to distinguish the communicative and reflexive-evaluative components. The communicative component includes the ability to effectively use various, including distance, means of communication in the process of teaching computational informatics, the ability to present and defend the results of one's work, to defend one's position reasonably, as well as to master teamwork skills, which is very important in the work of a teacher (Boc, Vidrikova & Blaskovac, 2021).The reflexive-evaluative component of information and computational competence is defined as the ability and readiness for introspection and self-control of one's judgments, the ability to assess the results of one's activities and, on their basis, set goals and objectives for professional development in this area.…”
