Educational practice as a component of the system of forming future teachers’ digital culture

Abstract

The digital economy and the rapidly developing digital society have an impact on the training of modern teachers and put forward requirements for the level of development of their digital literacy, digital skills and, ultimately, the level of digital culture. However, current regulatory documents do not always reflect the current requirements for teachers’ digital competencies and do not offer tools to measure their level of formation. The authors analyzed the existing frameworks of digital competencies and offered a model of the modern school teachers’ digital culture, its technological component, for its introduction into the educational process of teacher training. The article describes the elements of the model, normative documents and theoretical provisions that underlie it. The first stage of digital culture formation is considered in educational (fact-finding) practice for curricula formed according to FSES 3++. The objectives of the practice are formulated, competencies are selected from the educational standard, its content, thematic planning and planned results in the form of a decomposition of digital skills from the model of the digital culture of the teacher are determined. This type of practice is being implemented at the university for the first time and sets the task of forming the foundation of the model, namely, general user ICT competence (digital literacy).
