INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS A FACTOR FOR IMPROVING THE TRAINING OF MODERN TEACHERS

Abstract

The article analyzes developments in improving the training of modern teachers, considers the concept of «quality of education». Emphasis is placed on the fact that a modern specialist in the field of professional education must have a system of developed skills and abilities for the introduction of information technologies into the educational process to improve the assessment of the quality of education. An interpretation of the concept of «information technology» is provided. The author notes that due to the growth of information flows, the use of new pedagogical technologies, the need to meet the needs of personal and professional development of teachers, who are sometimes not fully prepared for the introduction of innovations in the educational process. This leads to certain difficulties in professional activities, including: organization of project and research activities of education seekers; development and implementation of methodical models, technologies and methods; analysis of the results of the educational process and their further use during the design of pedagogical activities; study, generalization and creative use of advanced pedagogical experience. It is noted that the structure of the readiness of future teachers of professional education includes the following components: motivational component as a set of motives adequate to the goals and tasks of pedagogical activity; a content component related to the cognitive sphere of a person and constitutes a system of knowledge necessary for productive pedagogical activity; operational component − a set of abilities and skills of practical problem solving in the process of pedagogical activity. a substantive analysis of the above definitions shows that there are currently two most distinct approaches to the definition of educational information technology. It is noted that in the first case, it is proposed to consider it as a didactic process, organized using a set of fundamentally new means and methods of data processing introduced into the education system, representing the purposeful creation, transmission, preservation, and display of information products with the lowest costs and in accordance with the laws of cognitive activity education seekers. In the second case, we are talking about the creation of a certain technical learning environment, in which information technologies occupy an important place.
