Purpose. To determine the peculiarities of teaching computer disciplines to future vocational teachers
and possible ways of integrating health-saving technologies into the process of their study.
Methods. Theoretical analysis of scientific literature, comparative and analytical method, generalization
of pedagogical experience.
Results. The article is devoted to the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the integration of
health-saving technologies into the process of teaching computer disciplines to future vocational teachers. The
author reveals the relevance of the topic due to the growing influence of digitalization of education, which
causes an additional burden on the physical, psycho-emotional and cognitive health of students. The conceptual
apparatus of the study is clarified: the definition of the term “health-saving technologies” is given, their
classification is carried out, and the principles of implementation in the educational process are outlined.
Particular attention is paid to the health risks that arise during the study of computer disciplines (visual overload,
physical inactivity, information stress, etc.), as well as practical ways to overcome them. The article reveals
didactic approaches to the formation of a health-saving environment in ICT classes: the use of active teaching
methods, project activities, gamification, alternation of activities, as well as the use of digital tools for self-
observation and health monitoring. Examples of the integration of six groups of health-saving technologies
(medical and preventive, physical culture and recreation, psychological and pedagogical, social and adaptive,
pedagogical, and information and educational) into the content of the discipline “Information and
Communication Technologies” are presented. Specific formats of classes, tools and methods are proposed that
ensure simultaneous improvement of the quality of the educational process and preservation of students' health.
The approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of the implemented solutions through questionnaires, self-
observation, analysis of digital behavior and pedagogical observation are outlined. The prospects for further
research and the need to improve methodological support are emphasized.
Conclusions. The integration of health-saving technologies into the teaching of ICT disciplines is a
prerequisite for modern professional training of teachers. This approach contributes to the creation of a safe
educational environment,
