DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AS A TOOL OF MODERN HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION


SUMMARY:

Digital technologies, which are becoming a powerful driver of change in various spheres of society, play a key role in the modernization of higher education in Ukraine. The demand for the implementation of these technologies is driven by Ukraine’s European integration processes and corresponds to the requirements and standards set out in European Union policy documents. These technologies reflect the country’s aspiration to integrate into the European educational community and are oriented toward adaptation to common European principles of educational development, particularly in the context of digitalization and innovative approaches to the educational process. The article demonstrates that the introduction of such innovations into the educational process of higher pedagogical education institutions opens new opportunities for both students and teachers, making learning more effective, accessible, and interactive. The analysis of contemporary approaches to the digitalization of higher pedagogical education conducted in the study confirms their significance for training highly qualified teachers capable of working in a digital educational environment and actively integrating innovative technologies into teaching practice. The article characterizes key digital tools and platforms used in the educational process of higher education institutions to develop the professional competencies of future teachers. The possibilities of learning management systems, interactive online platforms, and specialized digital environments in supporting synchronous and asynchronous forms of learning, as well as in enhancing communication and collaboration among participants in the educational process, are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the experience of implementing innovative digital solutions within the framework of the international MoPED (Erasmus+) project, specifically the use of interactive educational ecosystems that promote practice-oriented professional training and the professional development of future teachers.
