Computing Education & Technological Trends: A Systematic Review Study

Abstract

According to international recommendations, the quality of computing education is influenced by the consideration of modern industrial trends and IT tendency, as well as the methodology of computer curricula. The transition to a new level of industry, characterized by robotics and cyber-socialization, brings a wave of new, never-before-seen challenges to the field of IT and programming. Under such conditions, it is impossible to achieve the desired synergistic effect of learning without the formation and actualization of the appropriate information environment in higher education institutions. One of the sources of the content of such an environment can be the publications of the world scientific community registered in international scient metric databases. On these sources, it becomes possible not only to provide effective digital educational content, but also to choose and use the latest technological means of learning supporting. A targeted review of primary sources in such a database allowed for the identification, selection, synthesis and evaluation of evidence related to the following research questions: (i) what industrial technological trends are analyzed in research, (ii) what information technologies are considered in research, (iii) what strategies are reflected in publications to overcome the above challenges of computing education. According to results of this study conducted on example of software engineering, it is proposed to improve the methodological support of computing education based on ontological modeling of the requirements integration a modern development trends in industry and IT sector, international recommendations and the capabilities of technologies learning tools. This approach is a good basis for the processes of intellectualization of educational environment information systems and the construction of appropriate technological educational tools on their basis.
