The issues of design of a Petri net-based software component for modelling holistic and coordinated curriculum for potential specialists’ training

Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes a Petri nets-based software component for automating the holistic and coordinated curriculum building process for pre-service IT specialists. The design of the software module is based on the holistic educational paradigm and the authors’ approach to Petri nets-based curriculum modeling. The core components of the software module are identified and their requirements are formulated. The groups of software classes are specified and described. The benefits of the software module for pre-service IT specialists are highlighted. The prospects for further research include implementing the software module and testing it on specially prepared cases.
