Variable Training of IT Engineers for Software Development
摘要
The paper is devoted to comparing the effectiveness of variable methods for training future IT specialists, based on identifying the initial level of proficiency in SQL and HTML programming languages. An experiment was conducted with the participation of second-year students of the Kazan State Energy University (N = 200). The experiment tested two options for completing tasks, combining experience in web programming and experience working with databases. Students were given the opportunity to begin doing their work in a known way, obtain a positive result sufficient for a positive self-assessment, and then develop their knowledge and experience in accordance with the requirements of the curriculum. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of conducting an entry survey to identify the initial level of programming languages proficiency. Changes made to the content and process of training future IT specialists based on data obtained from surveys made it possible to eliminate gaps in IT competencies.
