. Introduction. The paper substantiates the possibility of using information and communication tech- nologies in the study of natural and mathematical disci- plines while training junior technical specialists. The authors consider the effectiveness of the introduction of modern ICT tools, in particular, multimedia technologies in the process of studying mathematical disciplines, which contributes to the diversification of methods of dealing with objects of study, as well as the visualization of edu- cational information. The use of multimedia technologies can significantly increase the learning motivation and cognitive activity, improve the professional level of future junior specialists, and encourage to apply the latest in- formation resources in professional activities. The purpose of the article is to summarize the experi- ence of using information and communication technologies in education and justify their effective influence on the formation of professional digital competencies of future specialists in the field of IT technologies, lay the founda- tions for professional growth and lifelong learning. The methods of analysis, comparison, explication, abstraction are used in the study. Results. The introduction of ICT into the educational process has become the basis for the formation of a fun- damentally new form of lifelong education which is based on detailed self-assessment supported by technological means and motivated for self-educational a ctivity by the results of self-assessment. The introduction of ICT into the educational process in- fluences the teacher's activity: the teacher is increasingly freed from some didactic functions, including controlling ones, leaving creative ones behind; his/her role is chang- ing significantly and the possibilities of managing the cognitive activity of students are expanding; the qualita- tive characteristics of educational activity are changing, more and more didactic functions are imposed on the computer (presentation of educational material, demon- stration and modeling of processes and phenomena); the requirements for the computer training of the teacher are increasing. The educational process, in its essence, is increasingly approaching productive work. This effect is especially enhanced if educational tasks solved with the help of ICT, are related to the practical activities of the future special- ist or are of interest in the current educational work. Originality. Recently, the application of computer tech- nology and information and communication technologies in higher education, in particular, in the study of mathe- matical disciplines, has intensified. This happened due to the improvement of the computer base of universities and the availability of such mathematical packages as GRAN1, Derive, Mathcad, Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, MuPad, etc. on the software market. Conclusions. The opportunities provided by the use of modern ICT to users, including mathematical packages, determine the need for their widespread introduction into the educational process of the college while teaching mathematical disciplines, which will make it possible to activate the students' educational and cognitive activity and raise the level of the mathematical and professional training of future programmers and economists.

The corporations perceive human capital as the greatest potential for competitive advantage, and staff training as a prerequisite for achieving the company’s strategic aim since business success and market competitiveness directly depend on the ability of employees to provide life long learning. In the context of searching the ways of optimizing this process, the aim of our study is to determine the features and opportunities for the development of individualization of learning by means of information and communication technologies in multinational corporations in Canada in order to use their experience in Ukrainian higher education. The set of interrelated general scientific research methods was used to achieve this goal: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, systematization, which were used to study the scientific literature, programs and corporate training courses in multinational corporations in Canada. Analysis of training in Canadian multinational corporations shows that the use of the advanced information and communication technologies in independent non-formal learning, including mobile learning, social networks, Massive Open Online Courses, electronic coaching, corporate blogs, gamification, wikis, etc., contributes to the deepening of individualization of training, and the practice of employee’s independent planning and implementation of his/her learning process is becoming more common. The study concludes that individualization is an important aspect of training in Canadian multinational corporations. The basis of individualization of learning is self-direction, autonomy of students, their willingness to take responsibility for planning and implementation of all stages of their learning.

The report presents the author’s experience in integrating modern ICT technologies in the process of teaching and learning in school. The emphasis is on the use of mobile devices and the integration of cloud technologies in schools. As an ICT teacher, the author provides some practical guidelines on how to apply innovation. The generation of 7 screens does not know a world without digital technologies and mobile communications. The discrepancy between the expectations of the digital generation and the reality in our schools is in terms of the information and communication technologies (ICT) used in them and the didactic models. Adolescents, when they find themselves in an environment that does not meet their expectations, are demotivated and redirect their attention to other objects and goals and stop being active in class. The use of the so-called. „Cloud“ technologies will significantly increase the interest and retention of students. The modern approach to building information systems is focused on developing solutions in which the collection, input and output of information is carried out through WEB-based applications or platforms.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the major driving forces of globalised and knowledge-based societies of a new world era. They will have a profound impact on teaching and learning for two decades to come. The revolutionary change which is taking place in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), has dramatic effects on the way universities carry out their functions of teaching, learning and research, particularly on the creation, dissemination and application of knowledge. These developments pose unprecedented challenges to higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries particular in South Africa as South Africa is viewed as the leading country on the continent.

This study focuses on how students of vocational courses related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) perceive the use they make of technologies in their learning. A questionnaire survey was applied in classroom to 314 students from 4 private and public schools, with the aim of understanding if the students recognize benefits in the use of ICT in teaching and learning, by answering the 34 premises presented to them. Most students recognize benefits from the use of ICT in teaching considering it improves and facilitates learning. They recognize the need to improve the pedagogical use of ICT and that teachers from the scientific and sociocultural components still make little use of the technologies in the classroom. These students consider that the courses they take prepare them to integrate the labor market, indicating good practices in learning with and from technologies in the technical classes. The premises about the disadvantages and obstacles resulting from the use of ICT were the ones that gathered the lowest consensus among students. They consider that the use of ICT is essential in learning and preparing to work with ICT and in a broader sense to live in a society of information and knowledge.
