IMPROVEMENT OF THE STUDENTS´ MANAGEMENT SKILLS BY TEACHING OPERATION RESEARCH BASED MODELS AND METHODS IN THE TECHNICAL TEACHERS´ TRAINING

Abstract

There is a new principle in the economic and technical theory nowadays. All of the processes seem as elements of more complex processes, all of the systems are subsystems of more completed systems. Every element of processes and systems has own relation with others. This type of approach is called logistics. From logistical point of view every process has its own managing part. It has specific tasks: 1. to receive information by the exploited parts of the system and from the other elements of the environment; 2. to store information related to the normal exploitation; 3. to analyse information; 4. to prepare decision making process; 5. to select from the possibilities of interventions; 6. to intervene in the exploitation of the process. For the successful performance of these tasks the managing part-system uses positive and/or negative feedback, automatic receivers, data-storage and special methods of process management. These special methods are built on operation research models. Everyone, who leads very important processes, needs to have correct mathematical procedures to select the optimal decisions. The teacher is one of them, who leads the most important processes: education of our children, who are the most expansive ones of the world. This is why he or she has to be aware of the possibilities of the best optimizing tools. The technical trainer is the only among the educators in Hungary, who can be prepared for these tasks during his technical-professional training.
