Some aspects of teaching parallel computing in a database in higher education institutions

Abstract

The article deals with the main issues of teaching the implementation of parallel computing in a database in the educational process. The active development of parallel computing necessitates the purposeful formation of appropriate skills among students. The stage of development and introduction into the educational process of the methodology of teaching the implementation of parallel computing in a database, which will allow students to acquire the skills and abilities of parallel processing of a large amount of database data in a short period of time, is described. The contradictions that determine the relevance of the study are considered. The data of the conducted ascertaining experiment, which made it possible to determine and clarify the criteria for the readiness of students to work with parallel calculations in the database, are described. The data of this experiment are the initial data for a formative experiment, the purpose of which is to develop and verify the effectiveness of the proposed model for the formation of training. All types of experiments in the form of conducting were natural. The results of the experiment, in which students of the Karaganda University of the name of academician E.A. Buketov were involved, are presented. Based on the data obtained as a result of the experiment, the author concluded that the existing level of work with parallel computing in databases has a number of disadvantages.
