The article deals with theoretical approaches to shaping information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) during professional training in higher education institutions, in particular through the course on pedagogy of higher education. The concept of the information and communication competence is defined as a special quality, which requires future specialists to have relevant knowledge, abilities and skills to navigate in information space with the aim to obtain and apply information sources and information and communication technologies in future professional activities. It is found that vocational training of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) should be aimed at shaping information and communication competence. Therefore, it is important that innovative information and communication technologies should be incorporated in the educational process. It is clarified that the process of shaping information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) should be understood as a professional ability to navigate in information space in order to obtain (search, select and analyze) information sources and effectively apply information and communication technologies in future professional activities. It is specified that there are some effective ways to shape information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) through the course on pedagogy of higher education during professional training in higher education institutions. Thus, master students in professional education (015 Occupational safety and health) from Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi Hryhorii Skovoroda State Pedagogical University were involved in the research. It is proved that the effective method of shaping information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) is the project method, which combines theoretical knowledge and their practical application when solving professional problems. It contributes to developing cognitive skills, shaping the ability to independently construct their knowledge, navigate information space, etc.

Since the eighties, technological tools have modified how people interact in their environment. At the same time, occupational safety and health measures have been widely applied. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work considers that information and communication technologies are the main methods to achieve the goals proposed to improve working life and the dissemination of good practices. The principal objective was to determine the trends of publications focused on these technologies and occupational safety in the healthcare sector during the last 30 years. A bibliometric study was carried out. The 1021 documents showed an increased trend per country, especially for the United States (p < 0.001) and year (p < 0.001). The citations per year showed significant differences between citations of articles published before 2007 (p < 0.001). The year was also linked to the increase or decrease of articles (72.2%) and reviews (14.9%) (p < 0.001). The analysis of journal co-citations also showed that the main journals (such as Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology) were linked to other important journals and had a major part in the clusters formed. All these findings were discussed in the manuscript and conclusions were drawn.

The article analyzes the use of the project method in professional training of future lecturers in professional education (occupational safety and health) through the course on pedagogy of higher education. It presents different approaches to clarifying the essence of the project method, which most scholars define as follows: a method, a type of learning, an educational technology. Based on different views of scholars on the concept of the project method, we consider it as a set of learning and cognitive techniques, which allow students to acquire new knowledge, skills and abilities during independent learning focused on creative self-realization of the individual in the education process and aimed at increasing their professional training in higher education institutions. The article specifies the essence, content and structure of the project method. It is proved the use of the project method in professional training of Master students in comparison with traditional methods has a number of advantages: the learning process is adjusted to practice; students have the opportunity to engage in independent professional activity; students are faced with the need to find and make optimal decisions; students have the opportunity to creatively acquire the necessary information. The article it is the systemic use of the project method in professional training of students, namely in the context of the course on pedagogy of higher education, contributes to developing professional skills and thinking, creative and research skills, problem-solving skills, to develop their core competences (cognitive, communicative, research ones, project), innovation skills and widening social mindset of future lecturers in professional education (015 occupational safety and health).

Laburpena: Azterlan honen xede nagusia da irakurleari deskonexio digitalaren eskubidearen inguruan azterketa juridiko eta pentsakor bat eskaintzea. Izan ere, oraintsuko lege harrerako irudia da, lanadiaren muturreko malgutasunarekin alderatuz, informazio eta komunikazio teknologiek bultzatuta (langileari etengabeko prestutasuna sortzen baitio eta, horren ondorioz, bere berme nagusi batzuk kaltetzen ditu). Horretarako, hasieran arreta bere konfigurazioan, artikulazioan eta ondorioetan oinarrituko da. Ondoren, erkidegoko enplegu publikoan azterketa espezifiko bat egingo da, egiaztatzeko alde batetik, eskumen horri emandako trataera testuinguru zehatz horretan. Eta, beste alde batetik, lotuta dagoen oinarrizko beste alderdi batuzekin jarritako modua;esate baterako, eskainitako zerbitzuen denbora, soldata, uztarketa, telelana, segurtasuna eta ingurune profesionaleko osasusna edo diziplina-araubidea. Era honetan, ikuspegi osoa eta eredugarria erraztu nahi da eraikitze-fasean dagoen gai baten inguruan eta ondorioztatuko den bezala, zehaztasun- eta garapen-maila handiagoa behar du legegilearen aldetik. Resumen: Este estudio tiene como objetivo fundamental ofrecer al lector un análisis jurídico y reflexivo acerca del derecho a «la desconexión digital», figura de reciente recepción legal como contrapeso frente a la flexibilidad extrema de la jornada laboral propiciada por las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (capaces de acarrear una permanente disponibilidad para la persona trabajadora y, en consecuencia, la degradación de algunas de sus principales garantías). Para ello, en un primer momento la atención se centrará en su configuración, articulación y efectos. A continuación, se realizará un examen específico de la situación en el empleo público autonómico, a fin de verificar, por un lado, el tratamiento otorgado a dicha prerrogativa en ese particular contexto y, por otro, el modo en que ha sido puesta en relación con otras facetas básicas con las que conecta, como el tiempo de prestación de servicios, el salario, la conciliación, el teletrabajo, la seguridad y la salud en el entorno profesional o el régimen disciplinario. De este modo, se pretende facilitar una visión completa y ejemplificativa sobre una cuestión en plena fase de construcción y que, como se concluirá, requiere de una mayor concreción y desarrollo por parte del legislador. Abstract: The main objective of this study is to offer the reader a reflective and legal analysis of the right to «digital disconnection», a figure recently incorporated into law as a counterbalance to the extreme flexibility of the working hours, promoted by information and communication technologies (capable of causing permanent availability of the workers and, consequently, the degradation of some of their main labour guarantees). First of all, the attention will focus on its configuration, articulation and effects. Secondly, the situation in public sector employment will be specifically examined, to verify, on the one hand, the treatment given to that prerogative in this particular context and, on the other hand, how it relates to other basic aspects: working hours, salary, work-life balance, teleworking, occupational safety and health or the disciplinary regime. At the end, the reader will have a complete and ilustrative vision on an issue under construction and that needs further concretion and legal development.

The evolution of information and communication technologies has led to the development of an increasing number of interactive online tools, and the occupational safety and health sector is no stranger to this trend. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the transfer of a very large percentage of activities online, the idea of this paper starts from the need to easily manage the documentation on safety and health at work, staff and work points, thus reducing time and eliminating travel costs and last but not least avoiding physical contact as much as possible, by implementing an application or a platform at institution level. These online tools are addressed to all employers, employees, workers and public authorities with responsibilities in the field of occupational safety and health. Although at present the specialists in the field of OSH face bureaucracy, being a rather complex field and at the same time so necessary in the practice of service activities, online training platforms or applications come to their aid to streamline the process of OSH training and testing of knowledge. Due to modern progress, training will be possible from any point of work, requiring only an internet connection.

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.

The article describes the process of training future specialists under the program "Professional education", its features, conditions for implementation, aspects of further development, as well as some of the difficulties that arise during its organization. The focus of the department on how to create a new architecture of the educational process within the program "Professional education" is set by the leading principles: modularity, integrability, flexibility and dynamism, and methodological approaches - competence, activity-based, subject-oriented, environmental – were the basis for its development. As a result the authors presented a model for training a modern specialist with formed professional skills and personal and professional qualities, capable of being in demand in the labor market. The research results can be used in the educational process in the context of how to implement relevant programs in accordance with the new requirements in the educational services market. The rapid technologization of the socio-economic development of our society was reflected in the system of vocational education, designed to prepare highly qualified and competent specialists for the modern economy, science and industry. The transformation of the educational sphere is taking place under the influence of new technologies and human practices that change the social order. The determined infrastructural spheres have the greatest impact on this transformation, we are talking about "Communication Infrastructure": the sphere of information and communication technologies that affect all processes of accumulation and transmission of information; "Infrastructure of production and consumption": a financial and investment sphere, which sets the general rules for interaction in the economic and educational system. The above said made it possible to determine the further vector of educational activities of the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Vocational Education in training the specialists in "Professional Education" field both at the bachelor and master degrees.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are key to create sustainable higher education institutions (HEIs). Most researchers focused on the students’ perspective, especially during the online teaching caused by COVID-19; however, university teachers are often forgotten, having their opinion missing. This study’s objective was to determine the factors that contribute to the inclusion of ICTs. The research based on a comparative study through an online qualitative survey focused on the inclusion and use of ICTs in two HEIs and two different moments (pre-and post-lockdowns). There were differences regarding country and working experience (p < 0.001), being linked to the ICTs use, evaluation of obstacles, and the role given to ICTs (p < 0.05). The COVID-19 caused modifications of the teachers’ perspectives, including an improvement of the opinion of older teachers regarding the essentialness of ICTs in the teaching process (p < 0.001) and worsening their perception about their ICTs skill (p < 0.05). Additionally, an initial model focused only on the university teachers and their use of ICTs has been proposed. In conclusion, the less experienced university teachers used more ICTs, identified more greatly the problematic factors, and considered more important the ICTs, with the perception of all teachers modified by COVID-19.
