Formation of readiness for the use of digital technologies in future qualified computer workers with hearing impairments

Abstract

The conducted research offers a model and system of electronic support for training students of professional educational institutions with special needs to use computer technologies. The proposed model will help prepare future teachers for studying computer disciplines in general. To implement research tasks, we build a model of an object, determine its structure and relationships with other objects and systems, and highlight its features and characteristics. The model reflects the requirements for training students of professional educational institutions in the specialty “primary education”, the assessment of the levels of readiness to use it in inclusive education, and diagnostic tools for determining the level of competence in ICT. The proposed model consists of four main blocks, which we will discuss in more detail. Due to the lack of a comprehensive approach to solving the most important social problem—creating equal opportunities for people with disabilities in all spheres of society, including in the field of education—a number of problems have emerged related to ensuring accessibility to the physical, social, economic, and cultural environment. To solve them, we must provide a differentiated individual package of support for the learning process in an integrated environment, taking into account the educational opportunities and needs of a student with special needs. The analysis of the results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of pedagogical conditions for preparing students of professional educational institutions with special needs for the use of CT in the process of studying computer disciplines based on an electronic textbook.
