APPLICATION OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AS A MEANS OF EFFECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN COMPETENCE OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS OF TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The article examines in detail the impact of the use of information and communication technologies on the process of forming the design competence of future specialists in the field of technological education. The authors emphasize the importance of an integrated approach to the use of ICT in the educational process, which contributes to the improvement of the quality of education and the development of the necessary competencies in students, relevant for the modern labor market. The article substantiates that the effective use of ICT allows not only to expand the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of students in the field of design, but also contributes to the formation of critical thinking, creativity, the ability to independently search and analyze information. A number of pedagogical conditions have been identified that must be taken into account in order to achieve a high level of design competence among future specialists. Among them: the application of a complex of interdisciplinary professionally-oriented tasks that contribute to the integration of knowledge and the development of project thinking; stimulating the activity and independence of students through the use of participatory learning methods; organization of activities that encourages creative search and use of innovative ideas in design projects. The article also provides examples of the effective use of ICT in the educational process, such as the use of specialized programs for graphic design, 3D modeling, digital resources for creating and presenting projects, which allows students to better understand the essence of design activities and develop the necessary practical skills. The prospects of further research related to the search for new innovative approaches to the use of ICT in education, in particular in the field of design, which will take into account rapid changes in technology and the needs of the modern labor market, are indicated. It is assumed that the further expansion of ICT capabilities and their integration into the educational process will contribute to the formation of universal design competencies that can adapt to the changing conditions of the professional environment.
