Abstract
The article contains the results of research on the use of visualization in the training of University teachers (development of digital literacy). The paper describes the concept of visualization, its main levels (visualization of data, information, knowledge), briefly describes the proposed course, assessment parameters before and after participation, and summarizes the results of the study. The paper also reflects the results of a survey of students who study with these teachers and heads of educational organizations in order to identify possible changes in the professional activities of teachers who have completed the proposed course. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of using visualization in improving the quality of professional activity of teachers, and significant differences were found in the assessment of teachers ' attitude to innovation and work in the digital environment before and after the course. According to the results of the study, the features of the use of visual technologies in the training of teachers and the development of their digital literacy were highlighted.
Highlights
Modern digitalization of the educational process has allowed us to identify a list of areas that need to be optimized in the first place
In connection with the results obtained, as well as on the basis of the current situation, it became necessary to develop a number of measures, primarily of a psychological nature, to increase the productivity of teachers in working with digital technologies, and to form internal motivation for working in the digital space
As part of the training of University teachers to work with digital technologies, a practical course was developed based on visualization and semantic impact – that is, all information was maximally encoded and transformed into images by the course participants themselves, and all technologies were "filtered" – teachers answered "why" and "how" they would use these technologies, "what" benefits they would bring to them in their work
Summary
Modern digitalization of the educational process has allowed us to identify a list of areas that need to be optimized in the first place. In connection with the results obtained, as well as on the basis of the current situation, it became necessary to develop a number of measures, primarily of a psychological nature, to increase the productivity of teachers in working with digital technologies, and to form internal motivation for working in the digital space. As part of training teachers to use digital technologies and work in an electronic educational environment, training seminars based on visualization were held. The focus on visual representation of information in the process of educational activity is currently explained by the fact that the applied teaching technologies must adequately, accurately, and most importantly, interestingly reflect the results of research, applied developments, and scientific innovations that appear in a large number of modern educational fields. It is visualization that will help to form and maximize the interest of students in obtaining knowledge and developing professional competencies
