CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

The article examines information and communication technologies (ICT), their classification and characteristics, since the creation and development of the information society involves their wide application in education. Acceleration of development is an essential and specific feature of the entire social process. The education system is no exception. Innovative processes that combine the creation, mastering and application of pedagogical innovations, due to such unity, can significantly accelerate the processes of school renovation and the education system as a whole. The weight of the variety of contradictions inherent in the modern education system is hidden behind the above-mentioned trend. The leading contradiction of the first stage between the old and the new is generated by both social and pedagogical needs to change the education system and its constituent parts. Currently, such needs characterise a new quality of human life, primarily associated with scientific and technological progress, global problems of here and now, that is, the need to solve both national and global social and economic, and pedagogical tasks. All this requires updating the content, the process of learning and education at all stages of continuous education. Enormous social transformations, namely the rapid scientific and technological progress that has taken place in our country, places increasingly higher requirements on the education and upbringing of each person, for his/her education and self-education, for his/her mental development. In the conditions, the formation of an active life position in work and education in all people becomes especially relevant. The foundations of such education are laid already at school – first of all, thanks to the daily educational and bringing up work of teachers with students. Realisation of this position is possible only if the training system is fully oriented to the personality of a student, his/her real needs and motives, social and cultural and individual development programs. Therefore, the construction of the educational process should be carried out from the perspective of the logic of the learner’s personality development, his/her subjective internal state, his/her individual program for mastering the language being studied. In order to realise this situation, it is necessary to implement didactic and methodical technologies in the workshop, the purpose of which is to constantly enrich the experience of creativity, to form a mechanism of self-organisation of the personality of each student.
