Analysis of the Target Use and Tools of Information Communication Technologies by Students of Pedagogical Specialties

Abstract

The article presents the results of research on the target use tools of information communication technologies by students of universities of teacher education in the learning process and everyday life. Changes in the goals of using modern digital tools are analyzed, namely, a clear trend towards the transition to mobile devices, which requires adaptation of the appropriate software and didactic support. A constant expansion of the goals of using information and communication tools has been established, which actualizes the issues of forming the information culture of students. The increase in the duration and complexity of work with Internet resources is determined. This confirms the importance of a high-quality selection of Internet sources for learning and the growth of the role of media literacy. A scheme for the use of information and communication technologies by students is proposed, in which the role of Internet resources as the main carriers of digital information is highlighted. The factors contributing to the reduction of “digital overwork” of students and optimization of the use of ICT tools in the educational process are identified.
