DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND MEANS OF THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IN LABOR TRAINING OF OLD CLASSES STUDENTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of digital competence of students in ZZSO in the process of labor training. The modern development of the information society requires effective approaches and the use of appropriate software tools to implement the tasks of preparing young people for existence in the context of comprehensive digitalization. It is the review of modern software products that can be used in technology lessons that this work is devoted to. Due to the fact that digital competence can be realized by applying approaches such as computer-assisted design, programming microcontrollers, working with 3D-printerami, using programs for data analysis, etc., the authors considered the capabilities of AutoCAD, Tinkercad, LEGO Mindstorms, Arduino, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Analytics, Tableau and examples of their implementation in technology lessons. Depending on the purpose of specific programs, they can be used for individual stages (types of work) of project activities of students or for the whole period of study. In addition, it is emphasized that the use of 3D printers allows students to translate their projects into real physical objects, which allows a deeper understanding of design and production processes. 3D printers can be used in industrial design projects, develop and prototype new products using appropriate 3D modeling programs and digital tools, which in turn requires an understanding of software products and the ability to effectively apply digital technologies to solve practical problems. Thus, the formation of digital competence, in particular in the lessons of technology, includes familiarity with digital tools (programs) for modeling, design, visualization and analytics (data processing, interpretation, optimization, etc.). Mastering such skills in addition to the technical development of students contribute to the development of critical thinking, ability to innovation and creativity, motivation for self-education and conscious choice of future profession.
