For modeling, the paper uses first type fuzzy sets, interval second type fuzzy sets, and <italic>Z</italic>-numbers. All the constructed models have been analyzed and recommended for use in solving various practical problems. First type fuzzy sets are recommended to be used to formalize statistical data of the educational process, as well as data obtained from a single expert (examiner). Interval second type fuzzy sets are recommended to be used to formalize statistical and expert data of the educational process with random errors, as well as data obtained from a group of experts. <italic>Z</italic>-numbers are recommended to be used to formalize the data of the educational process, taking into account their reliability. The numerical examples given in the article, together with theoretical justifications, provide an opportunity to choose a model for further data analysis in order to obtain sustainable final results and control decisions based on them.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Разработаны модели формализации данных образовательного процесса в условиях различной исходной информации, для создания которых были использованы нечеткие множества первого типа, интервальные нечеткие множества второго типа и <italic>Z</italic>-числа. По всем построенным моделям даны анализ и рекомендации для использования их в практических целях. Нечеткие множества первого типа рекомендуется использовать для формализации статистических данных образовательного процесса, а также данных, полученных от единственного эксперта (экзаменатора). Интервальные нечеткие множества второго типа рекомендуется использовать для формализации статистических и экспертных данных образовательного процесса со случайными ошибками, а также данных, полученных от группы экспертов. <italic>Z</italic>-числа рекомендуется использовать для формализации данных образовательного процесса с учетом их достоверности. Приведенные числовые примеры в совокупности с теоретическими обоснованиями предоставляют возможность выбора модели для дальнейшего анализа данных в целях получения устойчивых конечных результатов и управляющих решений на их основе.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>educational process</kwd><kwd>data formalization</kwd><kwd>fuzzy set</kwd><kwd>Z-number</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>образовательный процесс</kwd><kwd>формализация данных</kwd><kwd>нечеткое множество</kwd><kwd>Z-числа</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Zadeh L.A.
