Abstract
The thesis for a Candidate Degree in Pedagogical Sciences specialty 13.00.10. “Information and communication technology in education”. – Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University, Zhytomyr, Institute of Information Technologies and Learning Tools of the NAES of Ukraine, Kyiv, 2018. The thesis is the theoretical-experimental research of the use of business simulations as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students. The research contains generalized theoretical characteristic of the use of business simulations as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students. The structural components of the model of use of business simulations as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students were theoretically justified. The method of use of business simulations as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students has been developed. The essence of the “economic competence of the future technical specialty professionals” was clarified as the ability to conduct professional activity in the area of technics and technologies and also private activities consciously and efficiently, based on the grounded economic knowledge,abilities, skills, attitudes, opinions, personal qualities and experience. Motivational, cognitive, operational and personalcomponents were defined as the main components of the economic competence of the future technical specialty professionals. The classification of the business simulations in education was introduced by the author based on the next characteristics: the scale of the phenomenon or the concept that is being imitated (conceptual, thematic); the purpose of usage (educational, scientific); the type of the hosting in the network (local, server-based, cloud-based); the possibility of modification or editing (static; with dynamic parameters, with dynamic content); the presence of the built-in tools for business simulations creation (without built-in tools for business simulations creation, with built-in tools for business simulations creation). The next criteria and indicators of the business simulations selection were synthesized: design-didactical criterion (coverage of the wide range of the sub-sets of economic science and affiliated areas of knowledge; correspondence of the business simulations to the educational tasks; scale of the phenomenon that is being imitated; presence of communicational functionality; the possibility to combine different 22 imitations and additional functional modules within one playlist; presence of the built-in development tools(user interface correction, functionality correction); modification possibilities (static, parameters modification, content modification)); technological criterion (availability; adaptability; reliability; meaningful middle – or long - term gaming potential; easiness of use); organizational criterion (target audience; prevalence; customer support). The MobLab business simulation was defined as the most suitable to use as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students. Economic Games may be also used as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students in case of some developments implemented. The model of use of business simulations as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students was substantiated and developed. It consists of four blocks: targeting, organizational-process, content-technological, diagnostic-results. The goal of the model presumes the use of business simulations for formation of economic competence of technical specialties students. The general structure of the method of business simulations use as a means of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students was introduced; different forms and methods of the use of business simulations in the process of formation of economic competence of technical specialties students were analyzed. The materials and the results of the research might be used at the higher education institutions and scientific organizations for the educational purposes of the technical specialties students, for the development of the economic courses materials, for the informal educational activities of adults and children, for the implementation of modern education technologies and education forms at the higher educational establishments, and also for the competitions in the areas of economics, finance and game theory.
