Використання інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій при викладанні економічних дисциплін в умовах дистанційного навчання

Abstract

This article substantiates the relevance of using information and communication technology in the educational process in a distance learning environment. Currently, the introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) in the educational process is a method of its intensification, which allows making learning more descriptive and dynamic. In the context of distance learning, the use of information and communication technologies is a pedagogically justified approach that increases the effectiveness of the educational process, the interest of educational applicants in the formation of professional competencies. The essence of the concepts of «information and communication technology» and «distance learning» is disclosed. Information and communication technologies are defined as a set of different technological tools and resources that are used to support the communication process and the creation, dissemination, conservation and management of information. Distance learning refers to an individualized process of developing the competencies of educational applicants, which occur with the indirect interaction of distant participants in the educational process in a specialized environment that operates on the basis of modern information and communication technologies. The research reveals information and communication technology for distance learning-technology for the creation, accumulation, storage and access to electronic resources of educational disciplines, as well as for the organization and maintenance of the educational process through specialized software and means of information and communication communications. It is determined that the introduction of ICT increases the level of professional competence of future specialists. We have proposed the main directions of using ICT in the practical work of a teacher of economic disciplines in the context of such stages of his work as: in the stage of preparation for the lesson (use of electronic and information resources when teachers create educational and methodological support); when teaching new material (use of knowledge visualization technology - demonstration programs, subject collections, interactive models, dynamic tables, charts and diagrams on Internet resources); during laboratory work using the training programs «BAS: Accounting», «Happy Accountant» etc.; when fixing the material (conducting trainings); for monitoring and verification (performed using testing); while working independently (using online calculators) and distance learning. Information sources (web sites and Internet search engines) are identified as ICT software tools virtual constructors (allow the creation of visual models of mathematical or physical reality and conduct experiments with these models), simulator programs (provide an opportunity for students to improve their professional skills), test environments, comprehensive training packages (e-textbooks and manuals that most automate the learning process) and information management systems (ensuring the flow of information between all participants in the educational process). Examples of the use of ICT in the teaching of economic disciplines for the formation of professional competencies of educational applicants are given.
