It allows obtaining a more objective and balanced work program for the discipline that meets the requirements of the federal state educational standards of a higher professional education, the requirements of tutors of special and professionally oriented disciplines, the requirements of the Professor.
Conclusion: Using developed methods described in recent patents makes it possible to quantify the chosen educational material, to take into account not only the opinion of the developer teacher, but also the opinion of teachers of special and professionally oriented disciplines. The model reflects in detail not only the structure of the work program and the relationship between the points of the structure, but also a place of the work program in the curriculum.
