Abstract

The essential characteristics of the most used technologies of augmented reality in the modern school of Ukraine have been outlined. Difficulties faced by practicing teachers and students in the context of the problem implementation have been determined by means of a questionnaire. The criteria, based on which it is expedient to outline a list of educational applications of augmented reality, with which it is advisable to familiarize future teachers (clarity of the interface, degree of popularization in Ukraine, technical accessibility, quality of the program content, compliance with the age characteristics of schoolchildren) have been singled out. A methodological system of the formation of future teachers’ abilities to use augmented reality technologies in the process of physics, chemistry, biology, and natural sciences studying has been proposed. It consists of two subsystems in which direct and indirect ways of skills formation are combined: subsystem I – to provide first level (bachelor’s) students with special goal-oriented relevant skills (direct way); subsystem II – practical application of acquired skills by the students at the second (master’s) level of higher education, who act as subjects of both educational and pedagogical activities (indirect way). A list of courses at which it is advisable to form relevant skills in various ways has been determined, namely (“Digital technologies in education and science”, “Digital technologies in professional activity”, “Innovative learning technologies”, “Theory and methodology of physics, chemistry, biology, natural sciences teaching”, etc.). Educational applications of augmented reality, which are expedient to use by natural sciences teachers in their professional activities have been characterized. The effectiveness of the proposed methodological system has been experimentally verified. Research has indicated that its implementation contributes to the improvement of the quality of future teachers’ readiness for educational activities in the conditions of the information society.
