Big Data analytics in the recent past has evolved as an innovative branch in the field of information technology that has contributed in a significant manner to various areas of human endeavor. Some of the evident sectors in which big data is contributing in huge manner are natural disaster management and forecast, healthcare, agriculture, insurance, welfare schemes, cyber security, banking and many others. The education sector one amongst the other areas which has huge scope for enhancement by implementation of big data analytics. Big data analytics can provide insights about various unknown facts which can result in enhancement of student learning, better classroom planning, enhancement in lecture delivery and overall enhancement of student experience. Moreover, it can also result in easy decision making for management in a higher education institution and less administrative work for academic staff. This research is aligned in the same direction where a sample group of students in higher education are monitored with sensing devices to observer their attention levels while various pedagogical approaches are adopted for the comparison. This research yields specific facts about student attention levels based on the analysis that is done using SPSS analysis tool. This research considers students at different levels of bachelors study program in a higher education institution and monitors same cohort of student with various pedagogical methodologies. This research work is a mere effort to enhance student experience in higher education institutions by analyzing different learning approaches with student’s attention levels.

Education Environment

Creating an information and educational environment of a higher education institution is the process of introducing and setting up a large number of subsystems - educational, scientific, managerial and others. All these parts are largely integrated with each other. They must transfer some data to other subsystems and receive from them. In spite of the large number of works devoted to the research of creation of information and educational environments of higher educational establishments, the majority of them concern only pedagogical and organizational aspects and very few consider the issues of practical implementation with real examples. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the technical capabilities to organizing information and educational environment through the integration of various software components. In doing so, there is a special emphasis on the use of open source elements and integration with popular cloud services. It is a difficult and expensive task to collect all the subsystems required in the educational environment of a higher education institution. The cost of complex solutions from well-known brands is measured in thousands of dollars, and their implementation requires the same integrated approach. For Ukrainian educational institutions, the solution may be to build their own information and educational environment using open source components. In most cases, such programs already have options for integrating with one another based on the same open standards. It is important to know and understand the possibilities of such integration. Its use will allow to create environment for own needs and organizational features of each institution. The possibility of gradually connecting the necessary components will make it easier to go through the process of introduction of information and educational environment and involvement of all departments of higher education in it. The examples and links in the article demonstrate the potential of open source software as an integral part of the educational environment.

Investigation Methods

Educational system is the most important social institution, which provides the development of a personality and frames his/her worldview and the conception of subjective well-being. Despite the large number of studies on the issue of psychological and pedagogical security of educational environment, the sphere of higher education still remains underexplored. The available empiric material has not received sufficient methodological justification and conceptualization. This article aims to provide the conceptualization of the risk category as applied to the educational environment of a higher education institution, as well as empiric investigation of the risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students.Materials and methods. 213 applicants and 547 students of the Kuban State Technological University took part in the survey. The following investigation methods were used: expert assessment, interview, questioning, content analysis, analysis of means method, cluster analysis and factor analysis.Investigation results. Comparative examination of the manifestation degree of risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students of higher education institution showed significant differences in the assessment of risk by these groups of respondents. From the point of view of applicants, the main risks are connected with social and psychological aspects of the educational environment of a higher education institution, relations within student groups and interaction with teachers, as well as with the issues related to the educational management and leisure arrangement. As viewed by the students, the risks within the educational environment include external and social and psychological risk factors, motivating risks and risks arising from the learning process organization and management and the related issues. Applicants’ notion of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution was mainly influenced by information they received from media and by the opinion of their relatives and age mates.Consideration and conclusions. It was proved that the applicants’ idea of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution is determined by the opinion of people they know personally, however it changes during the process of studying in higher education institution and acquiring their own experience of being within the environment. The investigation results allow creating a model of psychological and pedagogical security within the educational environment of a higher education institution. This model makes it possible to forecast main risks of the educational environment, their development, and evolvement and find solution to them.
