2023: Announcement of the creation of an educational platform to identify talented children

Yuri Basirov, a lecturer at the Institute of Information Technologies and Data Analysis of the Irkutsk National Research Technical University, is creating an educational platform to identify talented children. This was reported on August 18, 2023 in the press service of the State Duma deputy RFAnton Nemkin.

As reported, in the educational space there will be protections algorithms that will analyze the success of students, their inclinations to subjects and psychotypes and tell interested persons what direction of training and for whom it is necessary to strengthen or change. The platform was named "Field." This is an example of how artificial intelligence a person can serve, help his development, said Anton Nemkin, Duma deputy State , member of the information policy committee, federal coordinator of the Digital party project.

Yuri Busirov spoke about the progress of work and the future configuration of the educational platform "Field." According to him, it has already taken about two years to create the platform architecture. It is assumed that the platform will be universal and will contain educational modules in various directions. Funds for the creation of the platform were allocated by the Baikal Integration Foundation.

Then we will finalize the natural science and humanitarian blocks. This system is universal and developing. The authors of the training courses on the platform will be pros: design engineers, project managers, mathematicians, programmers, musicians, artists.}}

Various psychological tests will be sewn inside the platform to determine the potential of students, including social, profinavigational and to identify specific abilities. It is also supposed to create a format for video determination of a student's knowledge, which will make it possible to understand in which issues he is "swimming," and in which he is guided. The platform will collect statistics on all students, schools, districts, districts and regions and form an understandable picture of them for school and university leaders, education departments, ministries of education and education. All of them will understand how and what to develop in a specific educational institution, city or region. At the same time, according to the results of the analysis, teachers will receive a student's card with its weaknesses and strengths. Whereas the student will receive a list of those who need to pay more attention in their preparation.

For August 2023, we are talking about the technological sovereignty of Russia, about a system that allows us to train engineers. There are talented children, there are wonderful enthusiast teachers who are ready to work with them. But there is no educational program that would allow every child interested in engineering and related areas to receive appropriate education and solve real problems. When we learned that something similar was being created in Irkutsk, we immediately turned to the developers with a corresponding request. explained Alexander Sukhachevsky, founder of the Baikal Integration Foundation, his interest in creating a platform

The creators of the platform need another year to finalize all the details of the platform.

It takes several years from understanding the need to grow professionals with a given set of competencies to entering the labor market. What Irkutsk scientists offer will help reduce these deadlines. If the results of the platform are successful, this experience can be scaled to the whole country. Then schoolchildren from the most remote areas will be able to develop the necessary set of competencies and get a demanded IT specialty. I believe that if successful, the platform may also interest specific enterprises that can use the platform to improve the competencies of their employees. noted Anton Nemkin

According to Alexei Sidorov, adviser to the governor of the Irkutsk region, the regional coordinator of the Digital Russia party project in the Irkutsk region, the project is not just relevant and promising, but strategically important both for the region and for the country as a whole.

The Field project contains the concept of providing an individual educational trajectory in promising areas, as well as a mechanism for collective solutions to scientific problems. This is a multi-level process that will ensure the development of independence and initiative among our schoolchildren, will enable the most complete realization of potential, and will also allow us to form a vision of how processes should be built within project teams, which is especially important when forming the key competencies of a modern professional (4K): critical thinking, creativity, communication and cooperation. counts him
