The architecture of the system of intelligent analysis of competencies for updating university educational programs

Abstract

   The problem of updating educational programs and educational content is closely related to the need to adapt them to the changing conditions of regional labor markets. The solution to the problem is achieved through the collection and analysis of data on the competence requirements of employers for the qualifications of specialists (the data itself can be extracted from job advertisements on open resources on the Internet). The article presents a method of using search robots and text data processing modules to obtain formalized descriptions of competence requirements and compare them by degree of similarity with competence descriptions from educational programs. For a comparative analysis of competency requirements, a clustering method was developed using fuzzy logic and a neural network. The architecture of the collection and intelligent analysis system includes search crawlers, a module for parsing text data with cleaning from information noise, a data consolidation module, a keyword dictionary generation module, a module for synthesizing competency vectors, a clustering module, a distributed registry of formalized descriptions of competencies, etc. The results of the comparative analysis are crucial for assessing the compliance of competencies of specialists trained in regional universities with the requirements of employers in the regions. The assessment allows to develop recommendations for updating educational programs and educational content of an educational institution, as well as to carry out adaptive adjustment of information and educational environment components of higher educational institutions.
