Methods for predicting the assessment of the quality of educational programs and educational activities using a neuro-fuzzy approach

Abstract

In the process of self-assessment and accreditation examination, assessment is carried out according to a scale that covers four levels of compliance with the quality criteria of the educational program and educational activities. Assessing the quality of education is complicated by the fact that the value of quality criteria is due to a large number of factors, possibly with an unknown nature of influence, as well as the fact that when conducting pedagogical measurements it is necessary to work with non-numerical information. To solve these problems, the authors proposed a method for assessing the quality of educational programs and educational activities based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy input system (ANFIS), implemented in the package Fuzzy Logic Toolbox system MATLAB and artificial neural network direct propagation with one output and multiple inputs. As input variables of the system ANFIS used criteria for evaluating the educational program. The initial variable of the system formed a total indicator of the quality of the curriculum and educational activities according to a certain criterion or group of criteria. The article considers a neural network that can provide a forecast for assessing the quality of educational programs and educational activities by experts. The training of the artificial neural network was carried out based on survey data of students and graduates of higher education institutions. Before the accreditation examination, students were offered questionnaires with a proposal to assess the quality of the educational program and educational activities of the specialty on an assessment scale covering four levels. Student assessments were used to form the vector of artificial neural network inputs. It was assumed that if the assessments of students and graduates are sorted by increasing the rating based on determining the average grade point average, the artificial neural network, which was taught based on this organized data set, can provide effective forecasts of accreditation examinations. As a result of comparing the initial data of the neural network with the estimates of experts, it was found that the neural network does make predictions quite close to reality.

Introduction to doors Workshops on Edge Computing (2021-2023)

“…The development and effective application of Fog Computing technologies require the most complex tasks related to the management and processing of huge data sets, including the tasks of rational construction of low-level networks that ensure the functioning of end devices within the IoT concept. The article "Graph model of Fog Computing system" [13] authored by Andriy V. Ryabko, Oksana V. Zaika, Roman P. Kukharchuk and Tetiana A. Vakaliuk (figure 3) describes the use of graph theory methods to solve such problems. The proposed graph model can provide the ability to determine the basic properties of systems, networks, and network devices within the concept of Fog Computing, the optimal characteristics, and ways to maintain them in working condition.…”

Mathematical Model Construction of Network Computer Test Automation System for College English Teaching

“…e traditional method of examinations is that the examinations start from the teachers' artificial questioning, to the arrangement of the examination room and the examination time, the arrangement of the marking of the papers, etc., until the test scores and the analysis of the students' reactions to the test papers. Each step of the gathering consumes a considerable amount of time [14]. Modern Internet computer online examination system can use the relevant conditions set by the system to automatically assemble papers from the question bank and can automatically review the test papers, reducing the workload of teachers.…”
