Today, life is more complex and difficult due to uncertainties in society. Liquid life (Bauman, 2006) is frenetic, rapidly changing and highly influenced from information and communication technologies, and forces subjects to adapt to group behavior avoiding exclusion. Human beings are experimenting with the digital age and the pervasiveness of computers and IT/ICT equipment, which are influencing learning and knowledge construction. This raises questions in regard to a privileged role for digital competences in the knowledge society, whether or not there is a framework for digital competence assessment, and possible hints, suggestions, experiments, protocols, or curricula helping teachers in hitting this target with students. This paper answers these questions, describing the evolution of psycho-pedagogical paradigms and their comparisons. A framework for digital competence assessment is proposed and teaching activities are suggested. A proposal of a teaching-learning process called OTS (Open Teaching Process) is also presented.

Management Project

With the projects realized in any organization and the processes to carry them out, that consider the management of the integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, procurement and stakeholder, it is possible to generate new organizational knowledge and take advantage of that already exists. In the particular case of universities, where different kinds of projects are constantly realized, with results that extend beyond these institutions in a way that impacts society in general, using appropriate tools and methodologies for project management is essential as it contributes to maintaining the necessary scientific rigor, even more so when the linked processes can be considered as fundamental factors for knowledge management in the dimensions of: people, processes, content and information and communication technologies. Thus and so, a descriptive research was realized with a non-experimental design, that had as general objective to determine the knowledge management carried out by the professors of the Technology of Services Department of the Simon Bolivar University Litoral Campus, of the State of La Guaira in Venezuela, for which the processes and areas of knowledge were considered for the management of the research projects done it, and it was diagnosed through a self-evaluation how professors managed their projects to then relate the information obtained to the factors that promote knowledge management.KeywordsKnowledge management, project management, processes, knowledge areas, university projects.

Key Indicators

Global processes and their trends taking place in various fields of knowledge with a significant acceleration affect the development of information and communication technologies and project management competences, programs and project portfolios. The purpose of the article is to develop and investigate the mechanisms for assessing the project managers’ competences for their development based on global trends and Agile's flexible methodology in project management in creating modern information and communication technologies in the field of project management. Global trends that create challenges in developing project management competences and programs are related to global acceleration, digitalization of society, development of block chains, cloud and fog technologies, active introduction of intelligent systems, transition from "rational economy" to "behavioural economy". The convergence of these trends creates a new platform for the effectiveness of applying existing methodologies, knowledge systems and methods for evaluating the competence of project managers. On the basis of convergence, integration and harmonization of methodologies for project and program management, a step-by-step approach to research has been identified. The formation of an updated system of competences based on global trends lies in the replacement of paradigms from traditional life cycle project models to flexible models such as Agile. Decision-making in the conditions of uncertainty on the basis of datamining become more justified. The article deals with modern information models of projects and programs, changing system of project managers’ competences, bringing together decision-making models and methods. At the same time, the change of competences, as actions or functions that project managers must perform, affects the model of competency and the assessment system, including key indicators of competency. The informative model of diagnostics application of competency models and methods of project management in digital and "behavioural economics" is based on the use of flexible methodologies. Some key indicators of competency are defined that are applied in the assessment of the project manager competency based on his competences in the project team. Patterns of project managers' behaviour when designing product and project management have been studied. The patterns allowed authors to identify bottlenecks in applying Agile project management methodologies in the convergence of trend information models and technologies. An example of information technology for managing the competency assessment of project managers by the IPMA ICB4 model is given.

В качестве направления для дальнейшего развития необходимо определить методы и алгоритмы активного реагирования Лидера на развитие, и эрозию компетенций, формируя соответствующие компетенции членов команды, обеспечивающие успех инновационных проектов. The structure and functions of the mechanisms of development and erosion of competencies in innovative projects for the implementation of information and communication technologies in the digitalization of society are considered. The factors of development and erosion of competencies are determined. A model for assessing competence and competencies for the successful implementation of information and communication technologies using the example of project management and digitalization programs has been built. The proposed model for the development of competence of the project team for the creation and implementation is based on a balance of factors for the development of competencies of the innovative project and their erosion in the implementation process. The study of factors of development and erosion of competencies in the management of innovative digitalization projects allows us to adequately respond to changes in the profile of competencies of innovative projects. At the same time, analysis allows the project manager to form effective programs for acquiring certain competencies for team members and other interested parties. The proposed model of the factors of development and erosion of the competency system is tested on examples that confirm its adequacy and effectiveness. This model for the development and erosion of the competencies of the digitalization project team is based on a balance of factors for the development of competencies of the innovative project and their erosion in the implementation process. The study of the factors of development and erosion of competencies in the management of innovative projects allows us to adequately respond to changes in the profile of competencies of innovative projects. At the same time, analysis allows the project manager to form effective programs for acquiring certain competencies for team members and other interested parties. The model of factors of development and erosion of the competency system proposed by the authors is tested on examples of applying the Agile methodology at the level of the project management department of the Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture. The implementation confirmed the adequacy and effectiveness of the model and methods of analysis of the development and erosion of competencies, and as a consequence of competence. As a direction for further development, it is necessary to determine the methods and algorithms of the Leaders proactive response to the development and erosion of competencies, forming the corresponding competencies of team members ensuring the success of innovative projects.

The Impact

The purpose of this article is to present the results of the study of the impact of normative legal acts on the development of legal relations in the field of information and communication technologies in the plans of Informatization of the Federal Executive authorities in the process of exercising their respective powers. In order to achieve this goal, about 20 documents, including orders of ministries and departments, were analyzed within the framework of this work. To conduct the study we used the system method, with which help, was developed informational model, allowing to represent the whole range of the authority that they exercise in the interests of constructing a system of project management for the planning of Informatization of state authorities.As an example, the powers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation were examined. The model takes into account more than 70 different powers, which in this work are systematized in 30 areas. particular, such as: charge; acts; makes; gives; yields; concludes; informs; claims; coordinates; provides; generalizes; render; alerts; identifies, organizes, organizes and provides; organizes, conducts and provides; implements; monitors; prepares; is; taking; conducting the work; develops and presents; implements; independently adopts regulatory legal acts; assists; sets; claims; engages. The approach to the description of powers using the information model allowed to correlate them with the plans of Informatization of the above-mentioned Department.Based on the results of the work, it has concluded that this approach can be used in the process of developing and substantiating proposals for amendments to the current legislation, taking into account the main provisions of the Strategy for the development of the information technology industry and the program “Digital economy of the Russian Federation”.
