The purpose of this article is to study the impact of information technology (IT) proficiency on the methodological culture of vocational education masters.
The practice of applying information technologies in vocational education has shown the following: a) their use significantly increases the motivation of students to learn; b) the informatization of education reduces the psychological tension of communication between students in the system of new objective relationships between “student – computer – teacher”; c) the informatization of education increases labor productivity and improves the information culture of university teachers. The new generation of specialists must have an educational background enabling them to effectively and quickly master not only the technological devices and equipment already created by previous generations, but also those that may appear in the future. They must be prepared for the further development of science, engineering, and technology. The modern understanding of the readiness of university graduates to master new information technologies includes: knowledge of IT tools and the ability to use them; the ability to obtain, analyze, and apply information; good adaptability, expressed in the ability to cope with information loads caused by the renewal of industrial technologies, etc.
The research methods included: a comprehensive analysis of scientific psychological, pedagogical, and methodological sources; synthesis and generalization of appropriate approaches to solving the problems under study.
It is advisable to integrate modern information technologies into all vocational educational disciplines, which will require a certain level of professional training from teaching staff, their knowledge of the potential of these technologies, as well as the ability to use all their capabilities for practical and scientific purposes. The integration of information technologies into the educational process should be pedagogically appropriate and justified, and serve as an additional factor, rather than a total replacement of traditional forms, methods, and means of teaching in the modern professional education system.
It seems promising to identify the organizational and pedagogical conditions for developing information culture as a component of methodological culture in future master's students in vocational education.
