Information technology for creating intelligent computer programs for training in algorithmic tasks. Part 2: Research and implementation

Abstract

Information technologies, particularly artificial intelligence methods, involve more and more deeply into all spheres of human activity: science, technology, art, and education. Ukraine also has sufficient potential and needs to develop educational support, which is the subject of this paper. The work aims to demonstrate the components of information technology for the creation of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), which are involved in studying various engineering disciplines. The work includes methods of system analysis, mathematical and simulation modeling, technical diagnostics, and artificial intelligence. The proposed models and methods are implemented in ITS prototypes for teaching mathematics, programming, and the automatic control theory. The Intelligent Tutoring Systems were implemented in the educational process of KhAI University and other institutions in Ukraine, Great Britain, Austria, and China. Experimental studies have shown increased student learning success rates using ITS compared to traditional methods. Improved and adapted for computer training methods of technical diagnostics, Bayesian networks, and developed models of algorithmic tasks, the learning process and the learner are valuable from a scientific point of view. In a practical sense, the obtained results can be used to create new specialized ITSs and build an expandable common learning platform integrating the basic disciplines of a specific educational field.
