Mastering software engineering with the help of the level model of competencies acquisition

Abstract

The paper proposes the use of an activity-based approach to acquiring the competencies of software engineering with the help of the author's model of level acquiring professional competencies. The approach allows the teacher to organize training software engineering so that students acquire needed knowledge, skills and abilities on the basis of a student’s independent productive action aimed at mastering the levels of organization of thinking and professional activities of the software engineer in the process of designing and developing software products. The author’s model is implemented to design level assignments for students to master some basic concepts of a software engineering course.
