| Annotation: | The article discusses the problem of training specialists in the field of transport system management who have the necessary programming skills to solve a wide range of practical tasks. The relevance of the study is due to the need to train qualified specialists who can develop and implement software for solving transport system management tasks, which is a key factor in improving the efficiency, safety, and competitiveness of the transport industry. The goal of this work is to develop a new methodology for teaching students the basics of programming that is focused on the specific requirements of transport system management. Unlike traditional approaches that focus on learning syntax and abstract algorithms, this methodology emphasizes the application of programming to solve specific problems in the field of transport system management. These problems include modeling traffic flows, developing routing algorithms, optimizing public transport schedules, analyzing data from transport sensors and monitoring systems, and developing automated traffic management systems. The methodology includes a modular approach to studying the material, which allows the course content to be adapted to the different levels of students’ training and the specifics of their future professional activities. Each module focuses on a specific task of transport systems management and includes a theoretical part, practical assignments, and project work. As part of the experimental verification of the effectiveness of the developed methodology, a pedagogical experiment was conducted with two groups of students: an experimental group that studied using the proposed methodology, and a control group that studied using the traditional program. The results of the experiment showed a significant advantage of the experimental group students in solving practical problems of transport system management. There was a deeper understanding of algorithms, a more effective application of programming to solve realworld problems, and a higher level of motivation to learn the subject. | ||
