The relevance of the study is due to the specifics of perception and assimilation of information by schoolchildren (the young generation's penchant for clip thinking) and the insufficient number of studies that reveal the theoretical and substantive-procedural features of the formation of preparedness of future chemistry teachers for the use of cloud technologies in professional activities. The purpose of the article is to develop a structural-functional model of the methodology for preparing future chemistry teachers for the use of cloud technologies in professional activities and its testing. The leading method for studying this problem is the modeling method, which allows to consider the problem under study as a focused, organized process of improving the professional competence of future chemistry teachers and the formation of ICT competency, reflecting the ability and willingness of a future chemistry teacher to use cloud technologies in professional activities. The developed model allows not only to form students' knowledge about the functions of cloud technologies but also aims to prepare future chemistry teachers for new conditions of professional activity. Analysis of the results of the study showed the effectiveness of the proposed model of the methodology for preparing future chemistry teachers for the use of cloud technologies in professional activities, which were confirmed by the positive dynamics of the levels of readiness formation among students of the experimental group. Article materials may be useful for teachers and students of higher educational institutions, teachers of institutions of general secondary education, specialists in the field of education.
