THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE
METHODICAL SYSTEM OF USING THE
CLOUD-BASED LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PREPARATION
OF FUTURE IT SPECIALISTS
The article analyzes the readiness of HEI teachers to use a cloud-based learning environment in the training of future IT professionals, which showed that 59% of the interviewed teachers have an understanding of cloud technologies and services; 34% use cloud-oriented learning tools when teaching their subject; 16% of teachers use a cloud-oriented learning environment in their professional and pedagogical activities; 100% of respondents agreed to use a cloud-based learning environment designed by the author's methodological system in the educational process. It is investigated whether the designed cloud-based training environment for the training of future IT specialists is effective by the criteria and indicators. The main components of the methodological system of using cloud-based learning environment (CBLE) training of future information technology specialists (purpose and content, methods, forms and means of using CBLE in the educational process of higher education institution) are described. It is established that when constructing a methodological system for the use of cloud-oriented training environment for training future IT professionals, it is necessary to: select a cloud-oriented system of training support as a component of CBLE for use in the educational process of future information technology specialists, as well as cloud-oriented, IT-trained expedient for future IT professionals to use in their training; improve the content of disciplines directly related to programming for the use of a cloud-based learning support system and cloud-based learning tools when studying different subject disciplines in this area; to develop the "Cloud Technologies in Education" elective course, and to implement it to acquaint with the peculiarities of the use of cloud technologies in the educational process of future IT professionals, as well as to train teachers with the purpose to acquaint with the peculiarities of the use of cloud technologies in the educational process.
