Introduction

In the modern conditions of reforming the

domestic education system, the problem of

training a new generation of teachers capable of

professional activity in the context of the

transition of the world community to the

information society is of particular importance.

The great importance in the creation and

effective functioning of an innovative

educational environment at this stage is the

introduction of recent information technologies

into the educational development of higher

education institutions, thereby ensuring the

gradual transition of the learning process to a

new, qualitative level (Makhometa et al., 2019).

The rapid growth of scientific knowledge that

humanity has accumulated (every 2 years the

total content of information increases 6-8 times),

prompted the emergence of computer

technology, the significance of which is obvious

to each of us, especially in quarantine conditions.

Therefore, in accordance with the evolutionary

changes in the system of society, a generation of

new children is coming, which is able to meet the

challenges of the time. This requires a change in

methodological approaches to teacher training,

the formation of systematic pedagogical thinking

(Stepaniuk, 2020).

Educators of the new generation must be able to

competently choose and apply exactly those

technologies that fully correspond to the content

and goals of studying a specific discipline,

contribute to the harmonious development of

students, taking into account their individual

characteristics. A modern teacher must not only

be able to teach "his" subject, but also master

information technologies and creatively apply

them in a specific educational field.

In these conditions, the task of training is not just

a teacher who knows information technologies,

but a researcher, innovator and experimenter, a

person capable of creative searches, a critical

assessment of the historical pedagogical heritage,

capable of adaptation in society and constant

changes in technology and technology. It is

necessary to prepare the teacher of natural

disciplines for innovative activities at school,

which includes in-depth training in the field of

information technologies, readiness for

innovative activities in the field of using

information technologies, and readiness for

student education in accordance with the

requirements of modern society.

Modern education reforms with a focus on

integration expand and complicate the tasks

facing the system of training future teachers of

natural sciences. They allow him to navigate

freely in the new conditions of the information

society.

Pedagogical practice needs scientifically based

recommendations to overcome the spontaneous

approach to the process of forming future science

teachers' skills to implement information

integration. Therefore, the higher pedagogical

school faces another requirement today - the

training of a teacher capable of conducting

professional activities at a high level in the

conditions of information technologies.

In connection with the above, there is a need to

consider the future teachers training of natural

sciences for the use of information and

communication technologies in their

professional activities. The article also shows

which universal programs and information and

communication technologies are used in the

education system. The priority measures for the

implementation of the remote form of teacher

counseling are shown.

Literature Review

Makhometa et al., (2019) outlined the problem of

methodological future teachers training of

natural and mathematical courses. One of the

innovative educational technologies that

contribute to refining the value of natural and

mathematical education is the introduction of

research training technology.

Gurevich et al., (2012) described the latest

methods of implementing information and

communication technologies, their creative self-

realization. Attention is paid to innovative forms

and methods of teaching, the use of interactive

technologies, the information educational

environment, and the organization of project

training.

A. Hura (2018) defined the role and diversity of

information technologies in the future teachers

training of environmental sciences. The

following information and communication

technologies that are most often used in lectures,

practical and laboratory classes are highlighted:

electronic textbook; information system;

electronic workshop; electronic task book;

electronic system for assessing and controlling

knowledge.

O. Vorobyova 's (2022) research is devoted to the

actual problems of forming key digital and

professional competencies of teachers, which

ensure the implementation of pedagogical

practice using digital technologies and tools to

achieve new educational results.

Shchyrbul et al., (2022) show that «…the

modernization of the educational sector requires

globalization, democratization, and the transition

to an information technology society».

Polishchuk et al., (2022) are revealed in the

article that «…the purpose of education is to

create an effective system using multimedia

technologies that ensures the formation of highly

qualified employees, implement educational

policy as a priority function of the state».

Shunkov et al., (2022) was found that «…a

promising area is the use of multimedia

technology in educational activities to create a

design of a virtual computer environment by

means of digitizing audiovisual information».

Kotiash et al., (2022) substantiates that «…the

need for widespread use of information and

communication technologies as an important

factor in accelerating scientific and technological

progress, automation and intensification of

production, creation of new high-performance

technologies, improving planning and

management».

Sutadji et al., (2021) pay their attentions «…on

the analysis of differences in implementation of

the assessment carried out, assignment

techniques, assessment components, and post-

assessment at the State University of Malang in

two different fields of science, namely natural

sciences and social sciences».

Kuzminskyi et al., (2021) considered the

education of students in universities during

distance learning, demonstrated the features of

distance learning, highlighted the special features

of distance learning in the preparation of students

and in the introduction of these technologies into

the educational process of the university. The

article established that the improvement of

pedagogical support during distance learning

improves under the following conditions: the

presence of students in digital education, taking

into account the psychological needs of

perception, memory, attention and age

characteristics of students, their individual

characteristics, the creation of a psychological

benefit that dedicates the skill to communication

by means of digital technologies.

The research of Teplytskyi et al., (2015) allowed

us «…to determine the conditions of professional

training of future teachers of natural and

mathematical disciplines by means of computer

modeling, to develop a structural and functional

model of training, to select socio-constructivist

forms of organization, methods and means of

teaching computer modeling to future teachers of

natural and mathematical disciplines».

The purpose. To identify new approaches to

training future teachers of natural sciences

through the use of information and

communication technologies in professional

activities.

Methodology

To achieve the purpose, we used methods that

made it possible to comprehensively understand

the subject, namely: theoretical (analysis of

moral, educational, mental studios), which

allowed us to substantiate the conceptual

foundations of the work; informative and logical

170

www.amazoniainvestiga.info ISSN 2322- 6307

method used for analysis, synthesis,

systematization and generalization of scientific

provisions; comparative historical analysis to

compare the domestic and foreign content of

methodological professional training of teachers

in natural disciplines.

The methodological level shows the

interrelationship of fundamental approaches to

solving the problem of training future teachers of

natural sciences to use information and

communication technologies in professional

activities.

In a number of methodological approaches, the

advantage is the competence approach, which in

synergistic interaction with systemic, person-

oriented, activity, technological, contextual,

reflexive and co-evolutionary-noospheric

approaches, will ensure the effectiveness of their

combined pedagogical influence on the

formation of training of future teachers of natural

sciences to use information- communication

technologies in professional activity.

The methodological bases of intelligence are:

− deep philosophical and cultural provisions

on the interaction of nature and man, which

justify the idea of co-evolution of nature and

sustainable development of society and the

need to harmonize mutual influences in the

system "nature - man - society";

− an epistemological concept that

characterizes the main stages of the process

of knowledge acquisition (sensation,

perception, comprehension, understanding,

generalization, consolidation, application)

and shows the relationship of value,

motivation and activity components;

− psychological-pedagogical foundations of

updating the content (improvement of the

educational process, improvement of the

quality of training of specialists and entry of

the national system of higher education into

the European and world educational

communities).

The article shows the methodical system of

training future teachers of natural sciences,

which reflects the system of goals, content,

organizational forms, methods and means that

provide professionally oriented training, aimed at

mastering all components of professional

competence and forming their readiness for the

development of students' environmental

knowledge.

Results and Discussion

Today, an important aspect of future teachers

training, in particular, environmental sciences, is

the use of innovative technologies and

approaches in the educational process in

universities. The problem of future teachers

training using information and communication

technologies is currently open and relevant. One

of the priority areas for modernizing the

professional training of future teachers of natural

sciences in higher education institutions is the

combination of traditional training with the

introduction of innovations, information and

communication technologies (Makhometa et a.,

2019).

An important provision of the document, which

has been included in all important UNESCO

documents in recent years, is to assign

information and communication technologies the

role of technology. Therefore, information and

communication technologies should be used to:

provide opportunities for success for everyone,

so as not to increase the difference in

opportunities to get a quality education between

the poorest and the richest. Moreover, to support

models of effective development; so that in the

dissemination of information and culture, some

countries do not prevail over others, to reduce the

monopoly of mass media; to ensure adequate

participation of all countries and individuals in

the construction and use of human information

space.

The practice of information technologies requires

the creation of a new educational paradigm. It is

generally accepted that an education applicant

must be an active participant in the educational

process. By means of information and

communication technologies, it is realistic to put

this principle of didactics in the basis of the entire

educational process at school (Shakotko, 2008).

General global tendencies in the change of

informatization of education are: expansion of

the scope of use of new information and

communication technologies; transition from

episodic to systematic use of information

technologies in the study of educational subjects,

courses; the emergence of fundamentally new

learning tools, intellectualization of educational

systems; extensive use of information

technologies in extracurricular work, which

helps to overcome the gap between educational

and professional actions; creation of the

foundations of information culture in mastering

various specialties.

When studying biology and ecology, the

following technologies should be used: project,

information, group, game, modeling of the

educational process at school. The use of

information and communication technologies

allows you to change the nature of students'

educational and cognitive activities, activate

independent work with various means –

electronic textbooks, manuals, multimedia

projector, systems for monitoring and evaluating

knowledge, skills and abilities. Future teachers of

natural sciences are interested in designing the

learning cycle (goal formulation, selection of

means of presenting material on a computer,

search for interactive exercises and tasks.

Diagnostic electronic testing systems facilitate

the assessment and maintenance of rating records

of academic achievements. It is possible to

determine the individual characteristics and

inclinations of students based on the designed

and presented search information from the global

internet. Since the presentation of educational

material using computer technology (multimedia

presentations, publications, and educational

websites) is quite multifaceted and diverse,

because everyone approaches the creation of

didactic, visual, methodological works on paper

or electronic media in their own way.

Let us highlight the principles of using

information technologies in the educational

development: the principle of visibility; the

principle of expediency; the principle of

systematicity and consistency; the principle of

strength of knowledge; the principle of

accessibility; the principle of individualization;

the principle of connecting theory with practice;

the principle of multimedia; the principle of

interactivity.

Digital technologies are not just a carrier of

relevant information, but also perform a specific

function, clearly defined by the teacher, which is

able to develop and accumulate knowledge of a

particular specialty. Most often, the following

information and communication technologies are

used in lectures, practical and laboratory classes:

an electronic textbook; an information and

reference system; an electronic workshop; an

electronic task book; an electronic system for

assessing and controlling knowledge (Hura,

2018).

To teach future teachers of environmental

sciences to use innovative technologies, you

should use various online tools during a front-end

survey. One of the modern online tools that is

admired by educational applicants, regardless of

their age, is Kahoot! This is an educational

service that allows you to conduct interactive

educational games: quizzes, discussions,

surveys, etc. You can access it via the web

browser or the Kahoot app! In Google Play or the

App Store.

One more online facility that lets you to make

cooperative exercises is LearningApps.org. This

service is a constructor for developing many

tasks in several subject parts for use both during

classroom classes and in extracurricular

activities.

The Learningapps app is a Web 2.0 application

for supporting educational processes in various

types of educational institutions. The

Learningapps Constructor is designed to develop

and store interactive tasks in various subject

disciplines, with the help of which educational

applicants can test and consolidate their

knowledge in a playful way, which pays to the

creation of their mental interest. The service

offers many interactive exercises that have been

developed for various forms of the educational

process. Through the classes with the help of this

service, you can not only activate the educational

activities of applicants for higher education, but

also demonstrate to future teachers how these

exercises can be used in working with an

interactive whiteboard, as well as how to use

different workouts for pupils while performing

independent work (Makhometa et al., 2019).

In the education system, universal Office

applications and information and communication

technologies are generally used: word

processors, spreadsheets, presentation

preparation programs, database management

systems, organizers, graphic packages, etc.

Thanks to modern information technologies,

such as e-mail, teleconferences or ICQ,

communication between applicants in the

educational process can be distributed in space

and time. Therefore, for example, teachers and

applicants for education can communicate with

each other, being in different countries, at a

convenient time for them, which is relevant in

Ukraine during wartime.

Modern tools focused on Internet Technologies

open up significant opportunities for visualizing

educational materials and building interactive

virtual laboratory workshops that are organically

integrated into the educational process. Now the

market of electronic educational resources is

developing rapidly, teachers are offered a

significant choice of pedagogical software tools.

Every day, the possibilities of resources aimed at

172

www.amazoniainvestiga.info ISSN 2322- 6307

improving the efficiency of the educational

process and the quality of students' knowledge

are growing.

They require widespread implementation of

modeling and information technologies in the

educational process, as well as the creation of

appropriate electronic publications. At the

present stage, there is a discrepancy between the

ways of presenting educational material in

electronic publications and modern educational

theories. Most e-learning materials are created as

static hypertext documents, which sometimes

include Flash animations. At the same time, the

educational process will be more effective if

interactive, multimedia educational resources are

used, which provide active teaching methods.

This discrepancy arises because the process of

creating and implementing an informational

educational environment for active learning is a

complex task that requires time and significant

material costs.

It is justified and effective to use pedagogical

software tools in the educational process, if they

have a high level of interactivity, which ensures

the dialogue of educational applicants with the

computer, and this, in turn, occurs when

cooperation is carried out between the

educational applicant and the computer. The

consequences of such cooperation are a high

level of motivation to solve the tasks set by the

participants of the studied processes.

Multimedia courses adapted to a particular

specialty and aimed at forming knowledge, skills

and abilities in a particular field of knowledge,

profession based on the use of demonstration

material, electronic textbooks, laboratory

workshops, etc. are widely used.

Experience shows that the use of interactive

multimedia lectures allows you to integrate a

variety of information presentation

environments, text, and dynamic graphics, audio

and video materials that provide each applicant

with the opportunity to become an active

participant in the educational process.

The great importance for professionally oriented

disciplines is the implementation of modeling

using computers, as well as performing virtual

laboratory work.

For this purpose, computer tools are used that

allow you to create simulators, models, and

laboratory work that cannot be performed in real

conditions.

In the process of developing multimedia courses,

it is important to solve one of the main didactic

tasks of this subject area – modeling and the most

general method of influencing objects of

cognition. Modeling using computers allows you

to demonstrate and investigate the basic

properties of objects, phenomena that occur in

various processes, etc. (Gurevich et al., 2012).

For the second year in a row, the entire world

found itself in difficult economic and

psychological conditions caused by the

pandemic. The transition to online, distance or

mixed learning has become an unexpected and

quite serious challenge for all participants in the

educational process: from teachers to students

(Moskalyuk, 2021; Dibrova et al., 2021; Sovhira,

Chyrva & Bahrii, 2018).

The role of the teacher changes a lot in this

educational process. The teacher is entrusted

with such functions as observing and evaluating

the cognitive process, changing the studied

course, helping the student in drawing up a

personal academic plan, managing projects, etc.

Analyzing the advantages of distance education

from the point of view of teacher-student

communication, we reveal the following main

features: self-education as the basis of distance

learning, which involves the student's own

motivation for his own studies, as well as a

separate level of self-organization. One-on-one

communication, similar to a one-on-one

consultation. Many-to-many interaction means

that simultaneous communication of many

students is allowed, sharing experiences and

impressions with each other.

Therefore, distance education has many

prerogatives over traditional education:

progressive educational resources, availability of

information keys, individualization of education,

comfortable consultation procedure, democratic

relations between student and teacher, practical

schedule and place of activity (Kuzminsky et al.,

2021; Volek, 2018; Bilyk et al., 2021).

Distance or mixed learning encourages and

promotes the use of technologies, namely

working with email, websites, platforms, and

courses, communication via Viber, forums,

chats, conferences and webinars. Prometheus,

TeachHub, EdEra, and vseosvita.ua distance

courses are very popular, which are focused on

obtaining theoretical knowledge and practical

skills in a short time. The Padlet, Classroom,

Moodle, and Zoom video conferencing platforms

are the most well known that are great for both

teachers and students. The e-Bug system is quite

common, which is a free educational resource for

use in the educational process and at home. Its

purpose is to make training interesting and

provide information about microorganisms, the

spread, prevention and treatment of infectious

diseases, etc. The resource contains lesson plans,

worksheets, animations, demo experiments,

presentations, online games, visualizations, and

materials that will make learning at home easier.

Mind Meister software helps you create thought

maps and allows users to visualize their thoughts

in the cloud using cloud storage. The program is

easy to use and allows you to distribute changes

in the form of maps in real time to all users and

on all devices. Mind Meister offers a number of

features that allow users to brainstorm online,

plan projects, develop business strategies, create

large presentations, and more.

Easel.ly, Visual.ly, Canva.com, Infogr.am,

Piktochart.com services for creating online

infographics. These platforms are interesting and

easy to use, and have significant support for

templates with accessible visual effects. The

important thing is that the services are free and

allow users to create graphics, presentations,

posters, and so on. Very original and new is the

use of 3D animal models in Google. Using your

smartphone or laptop, you can view models of

tiger, green turtle, pony and many other animals,

which makes learning fun for both children and

adults.

The Moza Map and Moza Book resources will

help you diversify your training tools with

illustrations, animations, and presentations, as

well as applications that will help you conduct

experiments and learn educational material more

easily. In the process of studying human

anatomy, collections of 3D atlases and the 3D

Human anatomy resource will help which

contain the best mobile applications available for

smartphones, tablets and computers and are

aimed at learning new techniques. The resources

of Science in school, BiomeViewer (global

ecosystem research), BioNetwork (virtual

microscope), Teach Genenics (genetic research)

and Sheppard Software (free educational games)

will help to make learning fun, interactive and

more memorable.

Another educational site that features videos and

free online games, among other activities, is

National Geographic Kids. The site is focused on

studying plants and animals, but you can also

virtually visit different countries, learn

interesting facts, participate in quizzes, and post

comments and photos.

Therefore, a prerequisite for the training of a

modern teacher of natural sciences is

familiarization with the latest discoveries of

Science, and the Internet is a unique tool for

solving many educational problems, improving

the efficiency and level of training in general

(Moskalyuk, 2021; Nurmukhanbetova et al.,

2019).

Skype helps you communicate with a group of

educational applicants. It is advisable to use it in

training and afford educational material to a

broader variety of education applicants, taking a

computer linked to the Internet, so that education

applicants who are not at school can use Skype to

study at all, in actual time.

Online tool Padlet designed for creating and

filling the content of a virtual whiteboard (space)

with the ability to edit together. It is necessary to

use the Padlet board for organizing group work

of educational applicants during brainstorming,

generalization and systematization of

knowledge, reflection; for placing educational

material or tasks for its search; as a place for

placing ideas for projects and discussing them; as

a tool for forming combined actions of

educational applicants during the lesson and

outside it.

The Trello online tool is also a virtual

whiteboard, which is a good helper for teachers

in working on joint online projects together with

educational applicants. Using this tool, you can

distribute tasks by type, and applicants for

education, in the course of work, see its results

(what they have done, what needs to be

completed). Therefore, applicants for education

learn to effectively organize their work in virtual

mode understand the essence of teamwork. This

is a useful visual tool in the work of a teacher.

QR codes allow you to attract educational

applicants to study, organize game and research

activities of educational applicants, organize QR

quests, and much more.

Online training materials help to further motivate

applicants for education, diversify classes and

make them more modern. Most of them can be

used on the mobile devices of educational

applicants, and they contain libraries of ready-

made exercises. For example, in the classroom,

you can offer educational applicants

LearningApps – an online feedback application

in which educational applicants determine how

well they have mastered the educational material,

what questions are unclear. The service is based

on working with templates: from working with

174

www.amazoniainvestiga.info ISSN 2322- 6307

maps to solving crosswords and creating

knowledge maps. Wordart.com is a web service

for visualizing and creating a word cloud. Word

clouds can be used to visualize natural

terminology on a particular topic in a visual way.

This helps you quickly remember information.

Powtoon.com and SparkolVideoScribe are web

services for forming active videos,

communicating infographics, presentations, and

video creaming. The finished video can be

available on YouTube or Vimeo, as well as

uploaded as Ppt, Pdf formats, or embedded on

your website/blog using HTML code. With the

support of scribing, you can fast appeal the

attention of listeners, provide them with extra

material and highlight the chief facts of the

report.

Keep in mind that quizzes and tests help students

get interested in the topic, facilitate its

perception, assimilation, and test their

knowledge. Google Forms is a resource that has

a large number of design templates, which allows

you to create forms for classes on any topic.

Online test Pad is a website that allows you to

work with constructors for creating tests,

crosswords, surveys, and dialog simulators free.

A unique tool for organizing group work and

reflection is MindMeister. This service allows

you to create intelligence maps, the use of which

in the educational process provides feedback, in

particular, through final and formative

assessment.

Effective in the professional training of future

teachers of natural sciences and in teaching

students is the use of online tools using gadgets.

For example, Nearpod is an online tool that

allows teachers to create individual tasks and

track their progress using mobile devices. A

special feature of this service is that users can

connect to Nearpod 3D and Nearpod VR. The use

of the above-mentioned web services in practical

activities provides an opportunity to intensify the

learning process, increase the level of

professional training of future teachers of natural

sciences, and contributes to the development of

end-to-end skills of students (Vorobyova, 2022;

Plakhotnik et al., 2022).

We would like to emphasize that teachers should

be well-versed in managing a wide range of

information resources and managing the reform

of the educational sector in relation to the

standards of the European educational space.

This process is very long, and Ukraine is doing

everything possible to go in this direction.

Authorities are creating regulations for distance

education, expanding blended learning

approaches, and working to increase the number

of schools with Internet connections and access

to digital devices and equipment.

This work aims to implement sustainable and

flexible approaches in future educational

activities aimed at preserving the continuity of

learning through measures to expand

digitalization of higher education (Kuzminsky et

al., 2021).

The involvement of network information and

communication technologies in the educational

process of object-oriented modeling provides an

opportunity to organize remote consultations in

the form of electronic correspondence, chat or

forums, audio and video conferences, etc. Their

implementation allows any student to receive

advice at a convenient time; to provide publicity

to the consulting process through posting

questions and answers on a specialized forum; as

a result, to increase the effectiveness of

consulting by avoiding the same type of

questions. In addition, to accumulate a bank of

standard questions and answers available to

different generations of students; to promptly

inform students about the tasks of control and

practical works, make announcements, etc.

Additional advantages of this form of

consultation are its transparency, modernity and

compliance with the requirements of the Bologna

Process.

To implement the remote form of counseling, the

following priority measures are necessary:

1) creation and placement on the Internet of a

consultation point in the form of a forum with

sections conducted by individual teachers;

2) development and approval of regulations on

remote counseling of students; 3) providing

students and teachers with internet tools for

conducting remote counseling (Teplytskyi et al.,

2015).

Conclusions

In connection with an important aspect of future

teachers training of environmental sciences, it is

the use of innovative technologies and

approaches in the educational process of higher

education institutions. Therefore, we have

considered the specifics of training future

teachers of natural sciences using information

and communication technologies. The general

global trends in the development of

informatization of education are highlighted; the

principles of using information technologies in

the educational process and online tools for the

possibility of using innovative technologies for

teaching future teachers of natural sciences are

highlighted. The advantages of distance learning

in comparison with traditional training are

shown. The most popular distance courses that

are focused on obtaining theoretical knowledge

and practical skills in a short time are analyzed.
