IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERDISCIPLINARY CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENTS “OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING” AND “SOFTWARE QUALITY AND TESTING” IN THE PROCESS OF TRAINING SOFTWARE ENGINEERS

Abstract

The article substantiates the expediency of using elements of interdisciplinary anticipatory training in the process of training bachelors of the F2 “Software Engineering” specialty by forming elements of the conceptual apparatus of the next discipline during the practical study of the previous discipline. In particular, the method of presenting testing levels in the discipline “Object-oriented programming” (OOP) is given. It is emphasized that this methodology not only formally uses interdisciplinary elements of anticipatory learning, but also contributes to the assimilation of the classification of testing levels and its effective use in the future. The role of the structural and logical scheme of the educational and professional program in the formation of competences and the achievement of program learning outcomes is highlighted. It is proposed that possible applications of the method of anticipatory learning in structural and logical diagrams of educational and professional programs be depicted by two-way arrows. A practical approach to studying OOP principles is demonstrated using the example of the task of developing a visual calculator application and integrating this application into a joint project of a calculator competition for students of the entire stream. The following are fragments of the program for the implementation of the task in the C# programming language on the NET Framework platform in the Microsoft Visual Studio Community shell. Performers of each level of testing have been identified for the development of the calculator competition project. It is emphasized that the elements of interdisciplinary anticipatory learning intensify the educational process, reduce the level of stress, prepare a solid base for further understanding of complex concepts, enable students of higher education to better understand the need to study the following disciplines and increase interest in their study, and the establishment of interdisciplinary connections with the elements of anticipatory learning ensures the consistent formation of professional competencies of future software engineering specialists and increases the practical orientation of the educational process.
