The use of multimedia technologies in the development of the methodological competence of future teachers

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of multimedia technologies in building the methodological competence of future teachers. To achieve this, a mixed methodology was used that combined the application of standardized tests, direct observation, in-depth interviews, evaluation by experts and a training experiment. The main findings of the study reveal that the systematic use of multimedia technologies in the training of future teachers constitutes an effective factor for the development of their methodological competence. A significant impact was observed on the cognitive and motivational components of said competence. The multimedia training system implemented was based on the principles of methodological training and demonstrated a high potential to be integrated into pedagogy educational programs and continuing training courses for teachers.
