ʺTraining future teachers to organize educational activities using information and communication technologiesʺ

Abstract

The article focuses on the current stage of societal development characterized by the informatization
of the vast majority of life spheres. An integral part of this process is the use of information and
communication technologies in education, particularly in the upbringing process, where these technologies
are expected to enhance efficiency. Consequently, modern educators need to skillfully utilize information
and communication technologies in their professional activities. The potential of using these technologies in
organizing the educational process in secondary education institutions is justified. The development and
utilization of information and communication technologies in the educational process aim to change
traditional forms of upbringing organization and offer significant advantages in the information society and
in response to contemporary challenges. A crucial quality of modern information and communication
technologies is their universality, as they can serve as the foundation for organizing any activity related to
information exchange, creating a common information space, and more. The application of ICT contributes
to improving all types of educational work. The article also addresses aspects of the professional training of
future educators in organizing educational activities using information and communication technologies. An analysis of the scientific literature indicates that a high level of ICT competence is a crucial condition for the
effectiveness of a teacher's professional activities. The specificity of studying information and
communication technologies, including their use as a means of upbringing in higher education pedagogical
institutions, is identified. Emphasis is placed on the fact that direct formation of ICT skills in future
professional activities significantly enhances the intensity and effectiveness of training for future teachers.
Moreover, the main goals of preparing future primary school teachers to organize educational activities using
information and communication technologies are outlined.
