Abstract

The article provides us with an analytical overview of the current state (the beginning of 2018) of the curriculum system for undergraduate and graduate programs in computing (computing is the academic name of the field of Information Technology or IT), inter alia it considers: definition of the concept of curriculum, modern architecture of the curriculum system, construction principles and content of relevant curricula of the last decade, including the following documents: CC2005, CS2013, CE2016, SE2014, GSwE2009, IS2010, MSIS2016, IT2017, CSEC2017. The article provides a comparative analysis of curricula in terms of methodological solutions in describing educational content and learning objectives, highlighting the minimum required part of the curriculum knowledge (core), composition and methods of using didactic parameters for describing pedagogical emphasis on curricula and learning outcomes. The article will be useful for methodologists-developers of curricula and educational standards, in particular for comparing the domestic educational regulatory and methodological base with international experience in standardizing curricula in the field of training IT personnel. The information presented in the article can also be useful to students and graduate students to understand the international structure of the methodological foundations of the modern IT education system.
