It is not sufficient to build professional, research or communicative competences to train a highly skilled information technology specialist who is ready for professional activity under the con- ditions of the rapid development of the IT industry. The successful professional devel- opment of a future IT specialist re-quires the development of a self-educational com- petence as a basis for further self-improvement and competitiveness in the labor market in the context of intensive development of information technologies, which covers a wide range of cloud resources and services for the development of self-educational competences in the process of training future IT specialists. The effectiveness of the self-educational competence development in IT students in the context of widespread use of information technologies, in particular, the cloud- based learning environment, mass open online courses (MOOCs), cloud resources and services for practical work, technology platforms, services for teamwork, etc. also de- pends on learning technologies. The application of blended, adaptive, and project-based learning technologies contributes to a qualitative development of professional and self- educational competences. In this regard, the development of a modern model for the development of professional and self-educational competences of future IT profession- als capable of solving complex, practical-oriented tasks are necessary and relevant. The purpose of the article is to identify and model business processes for learning using cloud services to develop self-educational competence for IT students. 2 Theoretical Background The essence of the process approach in the management of the educational institution is that the emphasis in task setting and performance evaluation is transferred from the functional units and quality elements to business processes, that is, processes that create values for the consumer and educational institution [2]. The process approach in edu- cation is meant to regulate the educational process on the basis of assessing its condition according to specially defined quality criteria for all the components of the process itself, as well as the factors that influence the final result [3]. A. Graule, V. Azarov, M. Mizginova touch upon issues concerning process-service approach to e-learning de- sign and business processes management [4]. Based on the analysis of theoretical and methodological principles of self-educa- tional competence development in higher education, the content essence, the structure of self-educational competence of future IT specialists as a set of motivational-value, organizational-technological, practical-activity, reflexive-analytic components and the level of its development are determined [5], [6], [7]. The content of the notion of „self- educational competence of future IT specialists” will be understood as the confirmed ability of the individual to carry out self-educational activities to deepen the theoretical knowledge and improve practical skills in order to respond flexibly to the rapid changes in the modern information society and the ability to independently solve the profession- ally-orientated problems in the field of information technology with the aim of increas- ing the personal level of competitiveness in the labor market [7]. 3 The Presentation of the Main Research and Explanation of Scientific Results The questions and problems concerning the quality of educational services, training of specialists in conformity with modern requirements of the labor market and the availa- bility of the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities are a priority task of the sphere of education. The quality of specialist training depends to a certain extent on the organi- zation of the educational process, the competence of the academic staff of the institution of higher education (HEI), as well as on information and methodological support. The research of the process approach problems in the educational process, as well as the model of development of professional and self-educational competence of IT special- ists, is presented in scientific works, however, there is a need to study complex issues of managing the process of self-educational competence development and implemen- tation of its strategic planning. 3.1 Process Approach Model of the Self-Educational Competence Improving the quality of training and development of self-educational competence of IT students is one of the main requirements at present, especially on the IT labor market. A process approach was chosen to build a model of the self-educational competence of future IT specialists. The process model of forming the self-educational competence of future IT specialists is considered as successive parallel sub processes of competences development within the organization of various stages of the educational process and the application of various teaching technologies. Given the rapid changes in the modern information society and the need to continu- ously increase IT specialists’ level of competitiveness in the labor market, it is neces- sary to determine the conditions under which the ability of future IT specialists for self- improvement and professional growth will be most effective. The main advantages of the process approach while training IT students are the fol- lowing: ─ coordination of various process groups of the organization of students’ educational and project activities; ─ improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization of the educa- tional process; ─ result-orientated process, which means the commitment to the increase of the stu- dents’ professional and self-educational competences level; ─ increase in the predictability of the results; ─ identification of opportunities for purposeful improvement of processes. Principles of the process approach are the manifestation of flexibility and continu- ous control, when all the activities of the enterprise are considered as a network of interconnected and interrelated business processes and their subsequent management in accordance with the PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act). In the standards of ISO 9000 series, the PDCA cycle is described as follows [8]: ─ Plan: process planning (accounting for input data that initiate the process; opera- tional definition of decomposed goals and tasks for executors based on the objectives of the process; operational distribution of responsibilities and powers; definition of „control points” for ongoing verification; risk assessment for the quality of the pro- cess; determination of indicators, criteria and methods for evaluating and monitoring the effectiveness of the process, others); ─ Do: execution of the process (an algorithm for implementing all stages and opera- tions with the detail and form determined for the required process, measures to en- sure the stability of the process and compliance with the scheduled parameters, guid- ance on the application of necessary documents, records, etc.); ─ Check: evaluation and analysis of the effectiveness of the process (description of the actions for data registration according to the determined parameters of the process effectiveness, comparison with established criteria, trends identification, identifica- tion of inconsistencies that occurred, as well as potential inconsistencies, the devel- opment of reporting protocols, etc.); ─ Act: initiating and implementing actions to improve and enhance the process (de- scription of actions with analysis of causes of non-conformities, development and implementation of corrective and/or various precautionary measures). The inputs and outputs of processes, their sequence and interaction can be described by a process model, which reflects all activities of the organization of the educational process at the HEI. Under the process, we will understand the totality of interconnected and interacting activities aimed at converting inputs into outputs. The scheme of the process approach implementation is presented in fig. 1. Fig. 1. The scheme of implementing the process approach to the development of self-educational competence To reach the set goals, a model of the process of the development of future IT spe- cialists’ self-educational competence using cloud resource and services was developed, which is graphically presented in fig. 2. The model construction of the process of the self-educational competence develop- ment involves preliminary selection of its main groups of processes, namely: the prep- aration of ELCs containing integrated cloud-based academic resources and services (1), the organization of student learning activities based on blended and flipped learning technologies (2) and project activities of students using the services for team manage- ment (3), the definition and analysis of the levels of development of professional and self-educational competence of future IT specialists (4). Fig. 2. Decomposition of the context diagram in the IDEFO standard (SADT methodology) 3.2 Process 1. Integration of Cloud-Based Academic Resources and Services into ELC The purpose of the process is to develop an ELC with integrated cloud resources and services for the professionally-oriented academic disciplines. The regulatory framework, based on which future IT specialists are trained, can be subdivided into relevant industry standards, approved in the subject area 12 „Infor- mation Technologies”, corresponding curricula for training future IT specialists and steering documents for academic disciplines according to the curriculum. These nor- mative documents determine the preconditions for access to learning, the orientation and main focus of the program, the amount of ECTS credits necessary for obtaining a bachelor’s or master’s degree, a list of general and special (professional) competences, normative and optional content of specialist training, formulated in terms of learning outcomes and requirements for quality control of higher education. With the fast-growing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) community and the increase in the number of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) available online, the amount of shared information is massive. Current LMS – in particular, MOOC provid- ers – offer many advanced content delivery techniques: interactive video, active re- trieval practices, and quizzes to enhance the pedagogical process [9]. The success of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) is not limited only to their openness to all heterogeneous learners, but also in their integration into the curricula of initial training in higher educational institutions [10]. MOOCs support many forms of instruction, in- cluding video lectures, reading with conceptual questions, discussion boards, and vari- ous forms of learning-by-doing with automated or peer feedback [11]. The model of system S can be presented as a set of values, which describe the process of its functioning and in the general case form such subsets: ─ the totality of input data of the system: 𝑥𝑖 ∈ 𝑋, 𝑖 = 1, 𝑛𝑋 ; ─ the totality of mechanisms and tools impact on the system: 𝑚𝑘 ∈ 𝑀, 𝑖 = 1, 𝑛𝑀 ; ─ the totality of managerial impact on the system: 𝑢𝑗 ∈ 𝑈, 𝑖 = 1, 𝑛𝑈 . Herewith, in the listed subsets we distinguish controllable and uncontrollable variables. In the general case Хі, Мk, Uj are the elements of non-intersecting subsets containing both deterministic and stochastic components. In modeling system S, input data, mech- anisms and tools impact and managerial impact on the system are independent (exoge- nous) variables, which in vector form are, respectively, presented as follows: 𝑌𝑛𝑖 (𝑡) = 𝐴𝑛 (𝑥𝑛1 , . . . 𝑥𝑛𝑖 , 𝑚𝑛1 , . . . 𝑚𝑛𝑘 , 𝑢𝑛1 , . . . 𝑢𝑛𝑗 ), where t – time. Input data: Х1 – materials for ELC, where Х1.1 – a list of competences to be formed in the students within the academic discipline; Х1.2 – academic resources and services; Х1.3 – criteria for selecting academic resources and services; Х1.4 – theoretical course materials; Х1.5 – course lab sessions; Х1.6 – assignments for independent work; Х1.7 – consolidating assignments of the course. Management: М1.1 – industry standard; М1.2 – curriculum; М1.3 – steering documents; М1.4 – ELC structure standard; М1.5 – the provision on the e-learning environment. Mechanisms and tools: U1.1 – CLMS; U1.2 – cloud resources; U1.3 – cloud services. Decomposition of А1 process: А1.1 – analysis and selection of cloud resources, ser- vices; А1.2 – supplementing the theoretical material and tasks for the independent work with ELC cloud academic resources; А1.3 – arranging lab sessions and consolidation classes with the use of selected cloud services. Output data: У1 – ELC with integrated services and resources, where У1.1 – theoret- ical materials of ELC with integrated cloud services and resources; У1.2 – lab sessions with integrated cloud services; У1.3 – tasks for the independent work with integrated cloud resources and services; У1.4 – consolidation classes with integrated cloud services. For the description of the process execution scenario, a Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) was selected. The sequence and logic of the actions performed by the participants of the process of integration of cloud resources and services in the ELC is demonstrated in fig. 3. Fig. 3. BPMN for process of the integration cloud-based academic resources and services into ELC Preparation of ELC resources containing integrated cloud resources and services will expand the opportunities for students to independently study the learning materials developed by leading technology companies. Such resources are constantly updated in line with changes in technology, which gives an opportunity to get the latest materials for self-education. This creates a pool of resources and services within one ELC to study one discipline. When mastering the educational material, performing practical tasks, reflecting on the use of these resources and services, students understand the need for self-education, which motivates them to master the new material. For training IT specialists, it is advisable to use the academic resources of leading IT companies such as Microsoft Imagine Academy, Microsoft Virtual Academy, Cisco Networking Academy, IBM Academic Initiative, and various online technology plat- forms (MOOCs) such as Khan Academy, edX, Coursera, Prometheus et al. This allows students to complete their studies under „computer science” with the subsequent award of the corresponding certificate. This will allow them to obtain the necessary knowledge in the field of information technology, which they can easily apply in prac- tice during their professional activities in the future. An example of tasks for independ- ent work with integration course „BPMN 2.0 with Brian: A Beginner’s Guide” Udemy is shown in fig. 4. Fig. 4. A sample task with integrated resource massive online courses Udemy For setting practical tasks, laboratory and group activities, such cloud services should be selected for project work on the task: platforms, software, software environ- ments. 3.3 Process 2. Blended Learning Using Integrated Cloud Resources And Services into ELC The purpose of the process is to effectively organize student learning activities in stud- ying theoretical material and acquiring practical skills and abilities. Organizational flipped classroom where students view screencasts, read textbook material and take an on-line quiz before class has been implemented in a process dy- namics and control course. The class periods involve brief lectures summarizing what they have learned, and include discussions and advanced problem solving using MATLAB [12]. Examples of the implementation of flipped learning in the Ukrainian and Polish Universities in the process of teaching disciplines of the Information Tech- nology cycle or during introduction to the module „Information technology” are pre- sented in the following works [13]. Blended learning technology integrates the tradi- tional learning tools with the tools of new information technologies [14]. Integrating the information and methodological support with the blended learning technologies is pedagogically appropriate and encourages optimizing the learning process and its com- puterization [15]. For organizing blended and flipped learning in order to form self-educational com- petence, we should develop a program of blending different types of student activity in accordance with the stated tasks: online training, individual, group training under the guidance of a teacher, cooperative learning. Input data: Х2 – learning technologies, where Х2.1 – educational materials and activi- ties of the ELC; Х2.2 – a blended learning program; Х2.3 – a flipped learning program; Х2.4 – assessment criteria (scale). Management: М1.1 – the provision on the organization of the educational process; М1.2 – services and resources management procedure. Mechanisms and tools: U1.1 – CLMS; U1.2 – cloud resources; U1.3 – cloud services. Decomposition of А2 process: А2.1 – organization of blended learning; А2.2 – organi- zation of flipped learning; А2.3 – assessment and analysis of learning outcomes. Output data: У1 – learning outcomes, where У2.1 – completed tasks for lab sessions; У2.2 – certificates of using cloud resources; У2.3 – completed tasks for independent work; У2.4 – control assessment (score); У2.5 – results of students’ reflection. Teachers, students and technical administrators are participants in this process. A model of the process of blended learning using integrated cloud resources and services in the ELC is presented in fig. 5. Fig. 5. BPMN for blended learning process with using integrated cloud resources and services in the ELC An example of organizing learning activities for student blended learning technol- ogy using cloud platform Microsoft Azure is shown in fig. 6. Fig. 6. Example of using the cloud platform Microsoft Azure As a result of this process, students improve the skills of an independent organiza- tion of study material, completion of practical tasks with the aid of recommended re- sources and services, develop soft skills, aimed at the proper time management of com- pleting tasks, the organization of communication with the teacher and students, the or- ganization of personal learning environment, information management and personal knowledge. 3.4 Process 3. Students’ Project Activities Using the Services for Team Management The purpose of the process is to organize professionally-oriented team projects, which will increase students’ motivation for self-education and promote the development of both professional and personal skills. As one of the general competences of future IT specialists is the ability to work in a team, it is recommended to use the project methodology while training future IT spe- cialists. Various task and project management software tools are employed to support team collaboration, for example, tools for knowledge management, information ex- change, communication, shared authoring and collaborative work [16]. The use of SharePoint for designing an e-environment for the project implementation in the field of study contributes to the students’ motivation to learn and develop both hard skills and soft skills [17], [18], [19]. Teamwork on project implementation is quite effective and productive, as it allows solving complex and cumbersome tasks that cannot be performed on time and effec- tively alone, even by highly skilled professionals. Input data: Х3 – materials for the project activity, where Х3.1 – tasks; Х3.2 – perfor- mance plan; Х3.3 – services for team work; Х3.4 – services selection criteria; Х3.5 – com- ments in the process; Х3.6 – assessment criteria. Management: М1.1 – the provision on the organization of the educational process; М1.2 – services and resources management procedure. Mechanisms and tools: U1.1 – CLMS; U1.2 – cloud resources; U1.3 – cloud services. Decomposition of А3 process: А3.1 – task setting, selection of the service for team work; А3.2 – monitoring of the project implementation; А3.3 – results presentation; А3.4 – results assessment. Output data: У1 – learning outcomes, where У3.1 – completed project; У3.2 – mark (score); У3.3 – reflection results. Business process model of the students’ project activities using the services for team management is shown in fig. 7. Fig. 7. BPMN for process of the students’ project activities using the services for team manage- ment This process makes it possible to form in the students not only a professional inte- gral competence, as in the process of project work a complex systemic problem is solved, which involves the professional competences formed as a result of studying various disciplines. The need to carry out part of the project independently and in col- laboration develops students’ self-educational competence and a set of cognitive, com- municative and organizational soft skills. An example of organizing a team of profes- sional projects using a cloud service to manage the Microsoft Teams team is shown in fig. 8. Fig. 8. Example of cloud service Microsoft Teams in the group project work 3.5 Process 4. The Definition and Analysis of the Levels of Development of Professional and Self-Educational Competence of Future IT Specialists The purpose of the process is to analyze the effectiveness of using cloud-based aca- demic resources and services for the development of self-educational competence. The level of development of professional competence is determined using compe- tently oriented tasks and surveys – in accordance with the requirements of the industry standard. The level of self-educational competence is determined on the basis of indi- cators (indices), which are determined in accordance with the component structure of self-educational competence [7]. Input data: Х4 – levels of professional and self-educational competence, where Х4.1 – the mark for the educational activity; Х4.2 – the mark for the project activity; Х4.3 – re- flection results; Х4.4 – indicators (indices) of self-educational competence development; Х4.5 – statistical analysis methods. Management: М1.1 – the provision on the organization of the educational process. Mechanisms and tools: U1.1 – statistical packages. Decomposition of А4 process: А4.1 – defining the assessment criteria; А4.2 – defining the criteria and indices of the professional and self-educational competences develop- ment; А4.3 – assessment of academic performance; А4.4 – defining the level of self-edu- cational competence. Output data: У4.1 – academic performance, where У4.2 – the level of self-educational competence; У4.3 – results of statistical analysis (absolute academic performance, qual- ity, progress in the development of professional and self-educational competence); У4.4 – suggestions on the improvement of the processes of self-educational competence de- velopment. In order to improve the process of self-educational competence development, it is necessary to obtain the results of its development according to different indicators and to make a decision on changing the forms, methods and tools for forming the corre- sponding components. 4 Results of Research Experimental verification of the effectiveness of the educational process organization in accordance with the developed model was carried out taking into account the pro- cesses decomposition and the following functions: integration of Microsoft Imagine Academy, Cisco Networking Academy, IBM Academic Initiative, Prometheus aca- demic resources into ELC; the use of cloud services and resources for laboratory clas- ses, tests and practical tasks: programming environments, database management, vir- tual simulation laboratories, data processing and analysis platforms, and more; the use of cloud services and resources for the organization of the project work: Microsoft Of- fice 365, G Suite, Jira etc. The level of self-educational competence development of the IT-faculty students was assessed by the following indicators: ─ motivation to mastering new educational materials; the ability to make an independ- ent choice of online resources to continue their own self-development in the chosen direction; to build and adjust their own self-learning trajectory by regulating and controlling the time of training in additional online courses; to form an adequate self- assessment of their achievements; the ability to pass professional certification; ─ ability to independently choose the best way to achieve the goal, to determine the sequence and duration of its stages, to select the tools and services to complete the task; ─ ability to search, analyze and collect the necessary information, plan activities, es- tablish communication and team collaboration, facilitate the increase in students’ motivation for self-education, development of both professional and personal skills. The characteristics of the levels are developed for each indicator: low, middle, high [7]. Research methods for each process include observation, testing, diagnostics of lev- els of self-education competence development, evaluation of laboratory and independ- ent work, monitoring of the development of self-education and professional compe- tence, evaluation of educational projects, questionnaires, reflection. The control group adhered to traditional teaching technologies without the use of cloud services and resources. For statistical verification of the obtained results, the null hypothesis is formulated: the use of cloud resources and services does not affect the level of self-educational competence of future IT specialists. That is, the existing changes in the levels of self- education competence are random. Frequency tables (conjunction tables), criterion χ2 and one-way ANOVA were used for this purpose. The calculated Pearson criterion value (for significance level 0.05 and 6 degrees of freedom) is greater than the critical value: 40.021> 12.592. Therefore, we accept the alternative hypothesis: the use of cloud resources and services influences the level of self-education competence of students of IT profession. The comparison of the level of self-educational competence in experimental and control group of students regarding the implementation of the process approach is pre- sented below (fig. 9). Fig. 9. The comparison of the level of self-educational competence development in experi- mental and control groups (the total number of participants in the experiment is 208 people) Thus, the level of development of self-educational competence in the control and experimental groups differs. We see that the number of students with high levels of self-education has increased by 34%. The number of students with an average level of self-education competence decreased by 4%, with a low level - by 30%. Evaluation of results of the presented model of the process approach to the develop- ment of self-educational competence of future IT specialists using the cloud services and resources proved the expediency of its application, as evidenced by the results of diagnosing the levels of self-educational competence of future IT specialists. 5 Conclusions The process approach to the self-educational competence development in the future IT specialists makes it possible to clearly identify the interrelations between processes and the necessary resources to ensure their implementation. This approach contributes to improving the organization of the educational process with the aim of increasing stu- dents’ level of competence by activating integrated team training, organizing project activities, developing students’ motivation to self-education, which ultimately results in an increase in the level of students’ progress in professionally-oriented academic disciplines as well as in a more effective use of cloud resources and services. The de- composition of the processes of self-educational competence development of the future IT specialists enables the academic staff to obtain an integrated technology for the im- plementation and monitoring of the increase in the level of the development of students’ self-educational competence. Further research may focus on developing resources for students to work inde- pendently in accordance with their dominant teaching styles and researching new fac- tors that influence the development of self-educational competence of future IT profes- sionals.
