The article examines the system of training aimed at shaping the technological culture of future sci-
ence teachers in the context of the technologisation of the educational process in higher education institu-
tions.
The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the effectiveness of the system of profession-
al training for shaping the technological culture of future science teachers and to explore its resource po-
tential for enriching their technological and methodological capabilities.
The research employed methods of content and categorical analysis, systematisation, and modelling
of the professional training system for shaping the technological culture of future science teachers, along
with a pedagogical experiment to assess the effectiveness of the modelled system. The experiment was con-
ducted in real educational settings of a higher pedagogical education institution and involved 186 students
of natural science specialities, all of whom provided informed consent.
Professional training for pedagogical activity is considered as a process of professional formation of a
creative personality. The study specifies the purpose, methodological approaches, content, and implemen-
tation methods of the professional training system for shaping the technological culture of future teachers
of natural sciences within a higher education institution, emphasising its significance as a key aspect of their
pedagogical professionalism. The organisational structure of this system was modelled based on methodo-
logical approaches and principles aimed at developing students’ technological culture.
It has been established that the components of this system include the methodological and goal-ori-
ented, content-related, organisational and procedural, and monitoring and evaluation components. The system’s core element is its goal, which is directed towards shaping the technological culture of future
teachers of natural sciences as an essential characteristic of their pedagogical professionalism.
The study identifies pedagogical terms that ensure the effectiveness of the educational process in fa-
cilitating the professional development of future teachers of natural sciences. The experimental findings
confirm the effectiveness of the professional training system in shaping students’ technological culture and
substantiate the necessity of technologising its content, employing tools of pedagogical design, and provid-
ing technical and methodological support alongside psychological and pedagogical guidance. The mastery
of the training content was achieved through the modelling of educational situations that reinforced stu-
dents’ active engagement, stimulated their technological actions, and fostered independence and creativi-
ty in solving technological and methodological tasks.
The generalisation of research results experimentally confirms that the productivity of professional
training for shaping the technological culture of future science teachers significantly improves when its the-
oretical and methodological foundations are substantiated, developed, and implemented under specially
created pedagogical terms within higher education institutions.
It has been concluded that creating a culturally and technologically enriched educational environ-
ment, introducing a technological approach to the content of professional training, involving students in
various types of technological and methodological activities during their studies, and enhancing their active
engagement in completing technological tasks contribute to the positive dynamics of shaping the techno-
logical culture of future science teachers.
