Ontologically-Controlled E-Learning Systems as a Means for Developing Conceptual Thinking of the Individual

Abstract

The article describes the mission of orderly knowledge in the formation of the personality of a competitive specialist. The technology of building an information system based on the cubic representation of the ontology of the discipline is presented. The presentation of the educational topic in the form of an ontological cube, which consists of three planes: conceptual, informative and stimulating, is characterized. It is proved that such presentation of information in the process of e-learning will promote the development of conceptual thinking and speech, intellectual skills of the future specialist, provides an opportunity to find an unexplored scientific niche in a particular professional field, and, as a result, stimulates the desire to create their own professional image. The essence of the named planes is revealed, the expediency of division of material of planes into chunks is characterized. The technology of construction of information system on the basis of cubic representation of ontology of educational discipline is described. Examples of application of technology for construction of ontology of subject area on discipline “Algorithms and data structures”, an ontological cube on a subject: “Psychophysiological bases of creativity" of a course “Psychology of creativity” are resulted. The results of the introduction of the presented technology in the educational process are described on the example of academic groups of students majoring in “Applied Mathematics” KPI Igor Sikorsky and groups of students majoring in “Psychology” of the Pedagogical Faculty of NPU Drahomanov in 2020-2021. The analysis of the results made it possible to state that the developed ontological system of e-learning is effective and efficient, to state that its implementation allowed to form students' knowledge in the form of flexible systems suitable for use in various educational institutions and life situations.
