One of the priority areas for the development of education is the introduction of information and communication technologies, which ensures the improvement of the educational process, the availability and efficiency of education, the preparation of the young generation for life in the information society, and among the main tasks is the creation of conditions for the development of the industry of modern teaching aids (educational -methodical, electronic, information and communication). In this article, the authors investigated strategies for formal education, and analyzed the main challenges and approaches to the "digitalization" of education. The rapid and profound consequences of the transition to digital will be possible only when digital transformation becomes the basis of the life of society, business and government institutions, becomes a familiar and commonplace phenomenon, becomes DNA, a key element on the path to prosperity, and becomes the basis of prosperity. Digital literacy (or digital competence) is recognized as one of the keys for a full life and human activity, therefore, the formation of information and communication competence is mandatory. This will help to ensure the right of everyone to receive education throughout life, equal conditions of access to education, regardless of the place of study.

Ergonomic Risk

Prevention of health disorders and sexual development of society is a priority area of hygiene and preventive medicine. The introduction of information and communication technologies into the educational process is a new risk factor for the development of disorders of the musculoskeletal system in adolescents. Purpose of the study: assessment of ergonomic risk factors for the development of disorders of the musculoskeletal system in adolescents using personal electronic computers as teaching aids. Objects of research: sanitary-hygienic and ergonomic factors of learning conditions with the use of personal computers and the state of the musculoskeletal system of college students. Research in accordance with the requirements of bioethics, after signing the informed consent and their parents. The hygienic factors of the learning environment and the ergonomic characteristics of furniture (tables, work chairs) in computer science classes of the Saratov college were studied. Their assessment is given for compliance with sanitary and epidemiological requirements and anthropometric indicators of students. A questionnaire survey and physical examination of 308 adolescents were carried out to identify complaints and assess the condition of the musculoskeletal system. It has been established that the organization and ergonomic characteristics of workplaces equipped with electronic computers fully comply with hygienic and ergonomic requirements. This is the cause of postural disorders and the development of disorders of the condition of the musculoskeletal system of students. A high prevalence of clinical signs of disorders of the musculoskeletal system among adolescents was revealed. It has been established that compliance with ergonomic requirements in the organization of workplaces when using personal electronic computers is a prerequisite for the primary prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system in adolescents. To solve this problem, first of all, it is necessary to provide educational institutions with modern furniture that meets ergonomic requirements.

The article explores the features of modern information and communication technologies implementation in teaching technical English. The specifics of teaching foreign languages for applicants for non-linguistic specialties has its own characteristics, which should be taken into account when constructing and conducting classes. The information society poses new challenges and correspondingly new goals for teachers and applicants to higher education, the achievement of which is ensured by analyzing situational data and creating the environment that would most closely reflect the realities of the modern professional environment, which requires an appropriate level of a foreign language knowledge. It was determined that electronic learning tools act as a catalyst in mastering the material and improve the quality of the educational process. The study analyzed psychological factors that provide an extremely high level of student motivation and form the corresponding priorities in the direction of professional growth. The pedagogical ways of introducing multimedia teaching aids while studying a foreign language are described in detail as a key condition for the fundamental training of a qualified specialist, focused on meeting the needs of the modern market. It is noted that higher education institutions do not yet fully possess educational computer programs and the latest software, which is one of the most pressing problems in the digitalization of the educational process. It is proved that the effectiveness of achieving didactic goals directly depends on the chosen forms and methods of training, and the inclusion of information and communication technologies has such advantages as individualization and intensification of the educational process, an increase in the amount of independent work of the applicant, which is an important component of the Bologna process. In this regard, and with the aim of developing the communication skills of future specialists, ICTs are considered to be the primary element in the training of qualified specialists in economic fields.

Abstract The present article brings critical media research and science and technology studies (STS) into dialogue with approaches to digital literacy and digital competencies in educational contexts. In particular, it focuses on material aspects of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as technical infrastructure, economic conditions, ecological consequences, and code-based as well as embodied forms of impact, and argues that digital applications and devices have ambiguous and often contradictory affordances and effects that need to be addressed in academic literature and pedagogical practice. The main objective is to inform on-going debates on the nature and content of digital literacy and digital competence from a critical materialist vantage point, and to facilitate learning and teaching about, rather than with, digital technologies by highlighting salient issue areas in need of continued critical attention.

Abstract Today's modern age is characterized by the rapid development of information and communication technologies, which is also reflected in the educational process. It is therefore necessary to prepare the young generation of even at primary and secondary schools to solve problems from real life. Using the appropriate motivation, innovative methods and application of modern information and communication technologies into the teaching process, we can succeed. Constructions created using by dynamic geometry systems bring new opportunities to learning. The aim of this article is to introduce the possibility of using GeoGebra in graphics solution of system of linear inequalities and also in the geometric interpretation of solutions to word problems leading to the linear optimization. The article describes the observations of experimental teaching, where was used GeoGebra. The experimental teaching was conducted at a grammar school in Košice. GeoGebra offers suitable tools to create graphical models in solving the optimization problems.
