Higher education in the IT sector is crucial for training professionals with the necessary competencies. Project-Based Learning (PBL) has been identified as an effective approach to developing programming, project, and teamwork skills. A study conducted at Karaganda Buketov University in Kazakhstan explored the integration of PBL with professional cloud tools in IT education. The study involved an experimental group that utilized PBL and cloud services, showing positive results in enhancing students’ programming skills and project activities.
The digital transformation of education is increasingly incorporating digital technologies to meet the demands of the modern labor market. Future IT professionals require not only basic knowledge but also specialized skills in programming languages and problem-solving abilities. The formation of students’ professional competencies is crucial in preparing them for real-world IT projects and industry requirements.
Project-Based Learning (PBL) has gained recognition in engineering and science education for promoting collaboration, critical thinking, and student engagement. Integrating digital tools with PBL has been shown to enhance learning outcomes. Cloud technologies are widely utilized in e-learning and higher education to create interactive and accessible learning environments.
The study at Karaganda Buketov University focused on implementing PBL with cloud tools to enhance IT students’ learning experiences. The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in programming skills, project activities, and teamwork, highlighting the effectiveness of the approach. The use of professional cloud services in project-based training has the potential to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry demands.
The study involved pre- and post-testing to analyze academic results and qualitative surveys to assess students’ competencies. The results indicated a substantial increase in knowledge and skills among the experimental group, emphasizing the benefits of integrating PBL with cloud services. The study also highlighted the importance of teacher training and digital infrastructure in successfully implementing cloud-based learning environments.
Overall, the study confirmed the pedagogical value of PBL with cloud services in IT education. While the approach showed promising results in enhancing students’ competencies, challenges such as internet connectivity and financial constraints were identified. Further research is needed to explore the full potential of integrating cloud technologies in education and teacher training.
