Modern Information Technologies in the Professional Education of Future Primary School Teachers

The article examines the problem of using information technologies in the educational and professional training of future primary school teachers. The authors found that the integration of digital resources into the educational process can effectively solve didactic tasks. It provides opportunities for virtual travel and improves the accessibility and efficiency of education. The application of information technologies contributes to enhancing the educational process. They prepare future teachers to function within the information society and promote the development of critical thinking and creativity among students. The new approach puts the teacher at the center of the educational process. This approach takes into account the professional competencies and personal interests of educators to promote the improvement of methodological, organizational, and technological support for personalized learning. The paper investigated the possibilities of using information technologies in the educational process to train future primary school teachers. The methodology included a systematic approach and general theoretical scientific methods. They include analysis, synthesis, and systematization of the research material on the role of digital technologies in the training of future primary school teachers. The research methodology employed two indicators to assess the psychological and emotional qualities of students, namely: assessment of communication skills; analysis of cultural and value orientations. The research results showed a high level of discomfort related to the current educational system. Nearly half of the respondents experience psychological and emotional stress due to the existing teaching format. In addition, as a result of the program implementation, it was found that the configuration model of student-centered learning applied to distance learning had a significant impact on students. The statistical analysis of the chi-square indices of overall conformity (χ2 = 0.36....1) indicates a high conformity of the data set.

The Use of Digital Technologies in Professional Training of Primary School Teachers

The growing significance of digital technologies in society creates a need to train teachers who can use these technologies in the educational process and prepare students for life in the digital world. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of digital technologies used in professional training of primary school teachers on increasing their professional competence level. The adapted versions of Ferrell & Daniel’s test for Measuring Teacher Career Motivations, the Orshanski’s orientation of future teachers towards humanistic and professional value were used to diagnose the state of development of professional competence. The level of the development of the subject-subjective model of pedagogical communication (modified test based on Sternberg & Williams, Alexander & Winne) and the level of projective skills in primary school teachers were also diagnosed. The students’ performance was assessed based on the results of the examinations. Chi-squared test (χ2) was used for statistical confirmation of the conducted research. Positive dynamics were found in both groups after the formative stage of the experiment. However, the experimental group was noted for greater quantitative and qualitative improvement for the selected criteria. The largest changes were observed for the operational criterion with a difference of 15.40% (against 7.90% in the control group). The cognitive criterion showed the smallest increase: 8.5% in the experimental group compared to 3.4% in the control group. The high general mean showed a difference of 11.22% for the experimental group and 5.1% for the control group. It is also important to note a greater increase in the average indicator at the general level in the experimental group of 52.04% compared to 40.82% in the control group. The differences in the distributions of the control and experimental groups according to the levels of each criterion are statistically reliable and testify to the effectiveness of using digital technologies for the development of professional competence of future primary school teachers. The areas for further research include the analysis of the impact of digital technologies on the development of information literacy skills and critical thinking.

Perception of Teachers’ Attitudes and Training Competence of Teachers in the Field of Mathematics

This article presents the results of a study on the perception that future teachers have in relation to the attitudes their teachers showed towards mathematics during the Primary Education stage, their level of competence in mathematics, and the possible relationship between both variables. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 488 future Primary School teachers, subjecting the obtained data to a descriptive, multivariate, and inferential analysis in order to know the perception of these attitudes, establish subject profiles, and know the incidence between this variable and mathematical competence. The future teachers show an ambivalent perception of their teachers’ attitude towards mathematics. Three profiles of subjects with negative, neutral, and positive perception are set, with almost half of the sample included in the first two profiles. In the inferential study, values that reflect a significant incidence between both variables are obtained. It is important that teachers convey favourable attitudes towards mathematics to their students, since the more favourable they are, the better the levels of competence obtained. To minimise this deficit, content and activities aimed at improving mastery and encouraging the development of favourable attitudes towards this discipline through specific actions should be incorporated into training programs.

Summarizing and interpreting the opinions of scholars, the authors come to the conclusion that in the course of training future primary school teachers, it is necessary to develop a set of pedagogical and methodological measures that will become the basis for improving the quality of education in the Russian Federation. Comparative analysis of various aspects of vocational training allowed the authors to develop a model of transformation of vocational training of primary school teachers that meets modern socio-cultural challenges. The authors are convinced that the involvement of students – future primary school teachers - in scientific and methodological activities contributes to the formation of their conscious teaching position, corresponding to new socio-cultural requirements and the methodology of engineering. The article is addressed to specialists of general, secondary vocational and higher education, as well as those who are interested in the problems of modern education.

Building Research Skills Using Digital Educational Technologies

Change in social demands requires knowledge and skills that can be applied across disciplines. Professionals who can analyse problems, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and take leadership are essential to meet new challenges in today's society. In this context, not only the area of expertise is important, but also the ability to think and learn, communicate and collaborate. Tackling complex interdisciplinary challenges requires professionals trained in creative thinking, problem solving, self-learning, team building, and other high skills. Among them, research skill is obligatory. Its development is important especially for future teachers. The ability to find new information and apply new methods for teaching children in school forms an integral part of the teacher's competence. In the context of distance learning, the development of such skills is fulfilled using digital technologies. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of digital technologies on the development of research skills of future primary school teachers. In this study, methods such as analysis, synthesis, survey, and case study were used. The study was conducted in the context of online learning at the Faculty of Pedagogy by students of the educational programme 6 В01 301 "Pedagogy and methods of primary education" based on the Buketov Karaganda State University. This study found that students acquired research and creative thinking skills through an open interprofessional distance learning course with digital adoption. This will increase the effectiveness of training and develop a new programme with the inclusion of digital technologies for higher educational institutions of the country.
