The purpose of the paper is the investigation of the modern approaches and prospects for the application of swarm intelligence algorithms for educational data analysis, as well as the possibility of using of ant algorithm modifications for organizing educational content in adaptive systems for conducting project seminars.Materials and methods. The review of the modern articles on the educational data analysis based on swarm intelligence algorithms is provided; the approaches to solving problem of the optimal learning path construction (optimal organization of the learning objects) based on the algorithm and its modifications taking into account the students’ performance in the process of the optimal learning path construction are investigated; the application of particle swarm optimization and its modification based on Roccio algorithm for the reduction of curse dimension in the problem of the auto classifying questions; the application of ant algorithm, bee colony algorithm and bat algorithm for recommender system construction are studied; the prediction of students’ performance based on particle swarm optimization is researched in the article. The modification of ant algorithm for optimal organization of learning objects at projects seminars is proposed.Results. The modern approaches based on swarm intelligence algorithms to problem solving in educational data analysis are investigated. The various approaches to pheromones updating (their evaporation) when building the optimal learning path based on students’ performance data and search of group with “similar" students are studied; the abilities of the hybrid swarm intelligence algorithms for recommendation construction are investigated.Based on the modification of ant algorithm, the approach to the learning content organization at project seminars with individual preferences and students’ level of basic knowledge is proposed. The python classes are developed: the class for statistical data processing; the classfor modifica -tion of ant algorithm, taking into account the current level of knowledge and interest of student in studying a specific topic at the project seminar; the class for optimal sequence of the project seminars ’ topics for students. The developed classes allow creating the adaptive system that helps first year students with a choice of topics of project seminars.Conclusion. According to the results of the study, we can conclude about the effectiveness of swarm intelligence algorithms usage to solve a wide range of tasks connected with learning content and students’ data analysis in the e-learning systems and perspectives to hybrid approaches development based on swarm intelligence algorithms for realizing the adaptive learning systems on the paradigm of “demand learning".The results can be used to automate the organization of learning content during project seminars for the first-year students, when it is important to understand the basic level of knowledge and students’ interest in learning new technologies.

Lack Of Knowledge

The article deals with the issue of the language adaptation of foreign students who have left the preparatory faculty and begun their studies in Russian in the first year of the main faculty of the Russian University. The main problem is the lack of knowledge of Russian by foreign students to understand and take notes at lectures, to actively participate in seminars. The article identifies and discusses the main difficulties faced by foreigners while studying in Russia and the reasons of their appearance, analyzes the conditions of training of foreign students at the preparatory faculty and the real results of this training, the main of which is the discrepancy between what foreign students know and are capable of and what they need to know and be able to, becoming the first-year students of a Russian University. Most first-year foreign students find it difficult to study at the same level with Russian students, so they need the support and understanding of not only teachers of Russian as a foreign language, but also teachers of other subjects. It is noted that teachers who don’t specialize in teaching Russian as a foreign language can’t and don’t want to adequately assess the level of knowledge of a foreign student and help them if needed. The article proposes a possible solution to this problem.

Learning Pathways

One major direction in research on technology-enabled learning systems revolves round the notion of generating optimal learning pathways. Two examples of the application areas that could be presented as search and optimization problem in the context of Artificial Intelligence are:- (1) Adaptive selection and sequencing of learning objects based on the learning profiles, preferences and abilities of individual learners; (2) Automatic composition of assessment or examination papers based on instructors‘ specifications. In this chapter, we present a critical discussion of the research which is concerned with the application of the paradigm of “swarm intelligence” in these two areas. The main aim of this survey is to highlight the new trends and key research achievements that have been realised in the last few years. We will also outline a range of relevant research issues and challenges that have been generated by this body of work.

This Research is aimed at finding out the level of writing ability of the students at English Study Program FKIP- UNRI by using Cooperative Learning Method. The samples of the research were all of the first year students that joined Writing IC. The procedure of the research were administered through (a) pre-tes; (b) teaching and learning process by using Cooperative Learning Method; and (c) pos-tes. Pre-tes and pos-tes were given in order to know the level of their writing ability. Data analysis was conducted by comparing the scores of pre-tes and post-tes. Data calculation concluded that with df = 78 – 1 = 77, it was found that r table with significant level 5% = 2.64; and 1% = 1.99 which were smaller than t = 3.005. As a result, null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. In conclusion, Cooperative Learning Method played a significant role in increasing the writing ability of students of English Study Program FKIP UNRI.

The implementation of acceleration program for the gifted students was problematic and has been dismissed by Indonesian Government in 2014. 240 first year students from three high schools in Jakarta participated in this study. The study focused on the social environment that is projected in accelerated and regular classrooms. Type of Classrooms is associated with Accelerated learning. Path analysis model was used to develop the relationships between latent and manifest variables. This study employed PLSPATH program to analyse the data. The results showed accelerated learning is positively related to Self-Regulated Learning in Biology but there is only a very weak relation in Mathematics. Accelerated learning positively and marginally related to Self-Efficacy in Biology, but negatively and marginally related to Mathematics Self-Efficacy. There is a significant relationship between Accelerated learning and Achievement in both Mathematics and Biology.
