Abstract:

At present, the education system faces a new problem: it is to prepare the younger generation for life and professional activity in a new, highly developed information environment and efficient use of its capabilities. Formation of competencies in the field of information security is becoming one of the key elements of the information culture of modern man. Therefore, the search for ways to improve the effectiveness of the educational process on information security has become more active. In this paper, the application of problem teaching to improve creative activity of students has been proved. This technology of training is used by us for students of the Faculty of Physics and Technology Al Farabi Kazakh National University. The training course "Information Security in Telecommunication Systems" is the main component of the Bachelor's degree program in the specialty "5В071900-Radio Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications". One of the key moments of training is the analysis of professional situations, i.e. method when the ability to analyze unrefined vital and production problems develops. When faced with a specific situation, the student must determine whether there is a problem in it, what it is and determine its attitude to the situation. For complex problems (for example, when studying cryptographic algorithms for protecting information), a problem statement is used when the teacher himself poses the problem and decides it himself, or shows how it was solved earlier. For simpler tasks (definition of goals, application of mechanisms, means of information protection), the teacher formulates the problem, and students independently solve it. Laboratory classes provide for the implementation of practical tasks on writing program codes for a particular algorithm. Laboratory practice gives students experience in research, teaches the basics of designing information security systems, introduces methods of protecting information. We also saw that problematic tasks should contain inconsistency of information and encourage us to search for patterns.
