USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO INFORMATION SOURCES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED TASKS INTO THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF PEDAGOGICAL INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The article considers a topical problem, namely, it justifies the feasibility of introducing professionally-oriented tasks into the educational process of pedagogical institutions of higher education. The question arose of developing tasks aimed at the formation of professional and technological skills and abilities of future teachers, performing which they should independently come to the conclusion that the professional activity of a teacher is not reduced to separate fragmentary knowledge, methods or educational disciplines. This will be facilitated by the fact that students will transfer individual algorithms and skills from one discipline to another, reflecting on the degree of their development and setting themselves tasks for self-education.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the development of a professionally-oriented task for study and use by future teachers based on substantiation of the effectiveness of the mapping methodology.
To solve the tasks set, the following theoretical and experimental research methods were used: analysis of scientific, educational and methodological literature, search for modeling methods, analysis of applied mathematical packages and programming environments for implementing the created model.
Research results. The use of educational and methodological guidelines for studying and using mapping technology using ArcGIS tools for students who are expected to perform professionally-oriented tasks in map development is described. Data for creating maps were collected during 2019 based on materials from the regional department of forestry and hunting in Ternopil region and the structural unit of the State Enterprise "Chortkiv Forestry". The basis is materials collected using generally accepted methods of accounting for hunting fauna of forest lands. A series of maps created using different methods and related to one topic was prepared and developed. Experimental verification of the effectiveness of using professionally oriented tasks for studying and using mapping technology by future specialists using ArcGIS tools has shown an increase in the level of development according to certain criteria: motivational, cognitive and personal-reflective with the corresponding indicators. The mapping approaches presented in this work based on the implementation of professionally oriented tasks allow students to apply the acquired knowledge and skills and give them the opportunity to flexibly adapt to situations that arise in future professional activities.
