Topicality of the research is determined by the fact that it addresses the issue of a gap between actual production and professional education. Digitalization creates ample opportunities for the development of the leading material production industries (transport industry is among them) due to the totality of technologies, including knowledge engineering. This fuels digital transformations of professional education. The form of syllabus presentation is changing due to the use of ontologies as a contemporary standard of knowledge representation, and this ensures semantic openness of educational resources. Information technologies in education are changing: the management of educational paths is assigned to artificial intelligent training agents (AI-based tutors). The existing model of education is changing: it is becoming personalized. Finally, the nature of interaction between the industry and industry-specific universities and colleges is changing as well. The paper provides a business model of interaction between production, science, and professional education through an integrated life cycle of knowledge. The knowledge management system of the industry-specific research and education complex is regarded as a mechanism for implementation of this model. Its structure and tools developed by the team of the Transport Information Technologies research laboratory in the Siberian Transport University (Novosibirsk) are described.
The urgency of the study is stipulated by the problem of professional training of personnel for the leading industries of the material production of the Russian Federation, one of which is the transport industry, in the context of implementation of the digital economy program and the integrated scientific and technological project “Digital Railway”. The nature of knowledge belonging to the intellectual field of the industry is revealed through the synthesis of the humanitarian (associated with man) and formal logical (associated with artificial systems). New requirements make it necessary to refer to modern educational technologies in the e-learning paradigm 3.0. Such technologies are based on knowledge presented in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC - in the ontology format. In this regard, this paper is aimed at revealing the possibilities of semantic technologies in the development of virtual learning environments for educational organizations in the network structure of sectoral subordination in the open projects model. Development of ontological content is carried out remotely by joint efforts of representatives of the employer and education. FSBEI of Higher Education “Siberian State Transport University” (Novosibirsk) implements an interuniversity project on the development of the multilingual electronic learning environment “Onto.plus” on the basis of new technologies in the format of the digital economy. The proposed educational solution has been tested in the real learning process. Its effectiveness has been proved for the training of future transport industry personnel; the directions of the project development are outlined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
