The article examines the complex aspects of training future teachers of natural sciences to use digital educational resources in the educational process, which is an actual topic of modern pedagogy. Development of pedagogical knowledge, as well as cooperation with scientific institutions and scientists are key components of successful training.
The article examines in detail the support of teachers from scientists, the integration of science with other disciplines, and the formation of a positive attitude toward science among students. The importance of the development of scientific thinking, the creation of educational materials, the use of digital educational resources, the formation of professional qualities and the use of an interdisciplinary approach for the training of future teachers of natural sciences is emphasized.
The main challenges, such as technological barriers and insufficient funding, which can prevent the use of digital educational resources in the educational process, are highlighted. An important aspect is also professional development and support for innovation in education, which allows teachers to constantly improve their knowledge and skills using the latest technologies and methods.
Thus, the preparation of future teachers of natural sciences to use digital educational resources is a multifaceted process that includes the development of pedagogical knowledge, support of scientists, integration of science with other disciplines, development of professional qualities and use of modern technologies. Providing teachers with the necessary support and resources contributes to the successful implementation of these approaches, increasing the quality of education and student interest in natural disciplines.
The importance of the participation of scientists in the development of educational programs that integrate various scientific disciplines and emphasize the practical application of knowledge is emphasized. Restructuring of primary and secondary school curricula, as well as optimal professional development formats, are important aspects of improving the quality of teaching. Evaluation of educational programs shows the need for changes in content education and pedagogy.
The support of teachers from scientists, the integration of science with other disciplines and the formation of a positive attitude towards science among students are considered. The development of competencies, including scientific thinking, the creation of teaching materials, the use of digital resources and an interdisciplinary approach, are key to the preparation of future teachers. Challenges, such as technological barriers and insufficient funding, are discussed, as well as prospects for improving skills and supporting innovation in education.
The article provides a comprehensive overview of the preparation of future natural science teachers to use digital educational resources and highlights important aspects of this process with an emphasis on teacher support and development of their competencies
