Abstract

The main task of ongoing and planned changes in education is the formation of digital competence of participants of the educational process and, first of all, of teachers. It is possible already during the period of study at university to create conditions for understanding the potential of using digital technologies in the educational process, gaining practical experience in their use in situations close to professional activities, and, as a result, the formation of digital competencies of a future teacher. An important task is to identify didactic opportunities for the development of digital competencies of future teachers while involving them in organizing interuniversity events. The article describes the model for organizing an interuniversity event, which implies four interrelated stages: goal setting, organization, activity, and evaluation. For each stage, a digital support environment is defined, as well as digital competencies those should be formed in the student. The implementation of the proposed model is discussed on the example of the project “Organization and conducting of an international computer graphics competition”. It is concluded that the involvement of students in organizing an interuniversity event allows to create conditions for the formation of such digital competencies as digital literacy, communicative literacy, digital content creation, digital security, digital competence.
