The Results Analysis of Innovative Educational Tools Use in Teacher Professional Activity

Abstract

The article discusses one of the current problems of the education system modernization – the problem of teacher readiness to innovative educational tools use in professional activity. Practical, theoretical and methodological aspects of scientific research were analyzed in the framework of the use of innovative tools in professional activities. The author’s attention is focused on the e-learning tools and information technologies toolkit in the information and educational environment and the entire education system modernization and digitalization. The analysis showed that the discussed topics are widely represented in the professional pedagogical community scientific research. At the same time, the innovative tools themselves, which include e-learning tools, have evolved from technical tools to pedagogical tools. The e-learning pedagogical tools development in the open education framework requires the traditional teaching and innovative means integration. However, regardless of innovative tools type, there is an increasing need of these pedagogical tools use competent implementation in educational organizations. This thesis is confirmed by a number of tasks: the need to determine the effective characteristics that ensure the successful teacher professional activities self-realization; the need for a scientifically based effective characteristic structure; the need to determine the methodological foundations of the effective characteristics formation; the need to resolve the contradiction between the innovative approaches implementation trend in the educational and the unwillingness of the teacher to solve these innovative problems. Also, in the course of the research results analysis in the vocational education field, we conclude that readiness, as an effective characteristic and in its essence seems to be a broader concept than competence. The author concludes that the readiness includes competence in its structure.
