Creating an International Network of Master Degrees in Computer Science as a Second Competence

Proceedings of the …, 2011

This paper describes the general objectives of the ERAMIS project. This project aims to set up a network of master degree programs "Informatics as a Second Competence" among four Russian universities, three Kazakh universities, two Kyrgyz universities and five universities of the European Union. The syllabuses of the master degree programs will be adapted to Russian, Kazakh and Kyrgyz requirements and standards.

Towards the Creation of a New Program in Informatics

2013

This paper describes a project, supported and funded by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education, which is directed to the design and implementation of seven, new, cutting-edge courses for a degree program in Informatics. The focus for the project was that the courses improve the quality of education and training in line with the needs of the ICT labour market to build an economy based on knowledge in the region. Critical factors in the development of these courses are that experts from industry are actively consulted over the design of the curricula, and that experts are also invited to give some lectures. The authors describe their experiences in the design and development of the courses.

Design and Implementation of a Master of Science in Information and Computer Sciences - An Inventory and retrospect for the last four years

ArXiv, 2008

This Master of Science in Computer and Information Sciences (MICS) is an international accredited master program that has been initiated in 2004 and started in September 2005. MICS is a research-oriented academic study of 4 semesters and a continuation of the Bachelor towards the PhD. It is completely taught in English, supported by lecturers coming from more than ten different countries. This report compass a description of its underlying architecture, describes some implementation details and gives a presentation of diverse experiences and results. As the program has been designed and implemented right after the creation of the University, the significance of the program is moreover a self-discovery of the computer science department, which has finally led to the creation of the today's research institutes and research axes.

School Subject Informatics (Computer Science) in Russia

ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014

This article deals with some aspects of studying Informatics in Russian schools. Those aspects are part of the ‘third dimension’ of the Darmstadt model (they are also projected on the other two dimensions of this model) and include evolution of the subject, regulatory norms conforming to the Federal Educational Standards, the learning objectives, the required learning outcomes, and the Unified National Examination in Informatics, which is required for admission to a number of university programs. It is interesting to note that correspondence between requirements for the outcomes of learning Informatics in Russian school and the requirements of K-12 Computer Science Standards (USA) is quite satisfactory. It is noteworthy that the relatively high level of school education in Informatics in Russia is determined by the well-established methodological system with a 30-year history, the subject’s being on the list of core disciplines at school, as well as the existence of a state-sponsore...

The Content of Professional Training of Future Informatics Specialists in Kazakhstan: Process of Developing Educational Program

DEStech Transactions on Social Science, Education and Human Science, 2017

The article focuses on the training of future informatics specialists in higher education system of Kazakhstan. The prelude to the change in the educational program, analysis of Competence was described, Competence was analyzed and the competence-based model of the informatics specialist was built for Kazakhstan. An educational program has been developed on the basis of this model that includes requirements not only of normative documents, but also of other customers (employers, IT professionals). The development of industry in Kazakhstan gave rise to the inclusion of the industrial and engineering areas into the program, that will allow students in the future to access employment in the industrial sector of the economy of Kazakhstan.

Progams of Training Teachers of Informatics in the Czech Republic

2013

Accreditations of so-called long-master’s programs (5 years) draw to an end of their force in the Czech Republic. Training teachers of Informatics (Computer Science) was also divided into two levels. Bachelor's programs (3 years) bear the name e. g. Informatics (Computer Science) in Education. Master's programs (2 years) are named Teaching of Informatics (Computer Science). They are differentiated the master's programs of teaching for lower-secondary school from teaching for upper-secondary (high) schools at some universities. This article provides a comparison of the subjects-composition of these study programs at Czech universities. The subjects are grouped by their content into thematic sections: mathematics, programming, systems, didactics, publishing and hardware. Their incorporation is represented for one thing by number of credits and for another by number of lessons a week. Syllabi of all Czech universities, that have accredited mentioned programs, were included ...

New perspectives on teaching computer science in europe

2004

In this paper we describe our joint project, under the European Union's Curriculum Development at Initial/Intermediate level (CDI) initiative, to establish a collaborative Masters level course in Computer Science. The project is proposed by five European institutions: Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Coimbra (Portugal), Hochschule fur Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg (Germany), University of Huddersfield (England), Université François Rabelais Tours-Blois (France) and Turku Polytechnic (Finland). This project aims to create a harmonized computer science course between the participating institutions, where the students must study in three different countries, using three different languages, without extending the number of study years. We discuss the philosophy and aims of the project and some implementation details. Each of the participating institutions/countries has its own traditions and management structures, and we describe the problems that arose in coordinating these and the solutions and compromises that we reached.
