The algorithm for analysis and evaluation of educational programs curricula

It is important for various participants of the educational process to be able to assess the quality of the educational program, its balance, and compliance with the stated educational results. One of the ways to analyze and evaluate the curriculum of an educational program of higher education can be the algorithm presented in the article, implemented in C++. It allows to calculate various statistical characteristics of the curriculum (for example, the number of educational units (disciplines) and their labor intensity in credits), as well as the relative contribution of an educational unit to the formation of competencies (learning outcomes).The comparative assessment of the main calculation indicators for several curricula of educational programs is implemented as a separate program module. The algorithm implements an approach that allows presenting the curriculum data in a convenient visualization form — as a weighted undirected graph, the vertices of which represent the disciplines of the curriculum, and the edges interdisciplinary links, demonstrating the participation of disciplines in the formation of the same competencies. Visualization of this representation was carried out using the Gephi software package.The program implementation of the algorithm proposed in the article may be of practical interest to scientific and pedagogical staff and administrative and managerial personnel of educational institutions of higher education
