The development of modern society in the world takes place in the era of rapid development of information technologies in all fields of human activity, including education. Therefore, one of the main ways of solving the problem of education modernization is the introduction of information technologies and combination with traditional educational means. The issue of ensuring the high level of information and communication technologies in the educational process becomes more urgent every year. The experience of teachers of higher education institutions shows the effectivenes of information and communication technologies integration in teaching English. Information and communication technologies enable students to be involved in the learning process, increase students’ motivation and their interest in learning English. The use of information and communication technologies in the educational process gives the possibility to reduce the time for mastering the material at the expense of clarity and to check students’ knowledge in the interactive form. The article deals with the use of modern information and communication technologies in the process of teaching English in higher education. Aspects of information and communication technologies in the process of learning a foreign language are theoretically grounded. The experience of information and communication technologies implementation in the educational process of higher educational institutions is analyzed and the main advantages and disadvantages of their application are characterized. The experience of using Quizlet (an application that helps in learning new words, phrases, terms faster and more effectively) in teaching English at the National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnic Institute of Igor Sikorsky” was analized in the context of the analysis of information technologies in higher educational establishments of Ukraine.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the introduction and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the special disciplines of higher education, to teach teachers how to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning through information and communication technologies (ICT). This article discusses the issues of improving the knowledge and skills of students through the use of modern information and communication technologies in the preparation of designers, increasing students' interest in the educational process and the ability to apply their knowledge in practice in the future. The focus is on the need to develop appropriate strategies for a new educational role and, in addition, to enhance the role of learners in integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into the educational process. The role and perspective of the teachers was very important, highlighting them as key players in the process. The data show that there is a belief that the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the educational process will help increase the effectiveness of education and facilitate the organization of the educational process. In particular, it shows that the contribution of information and communication technologies (ICT) to the improvement of the educational process in educational institutions, where information and communication technologies (ICT) is an innovative factor, is high. Achieving this high level means that the educational institution must not only modernize technological means, but also change the models of teaching.

The study examines the pedagogical conditions for the use of information and communication technologies in the process of professional training of students of mathematical specialties. It is proved that the use of information and communication technologies in the educational process makes it possible to increase the indicators of the formation of students’ professional competence. The analysis of the results of experimental studies made it possible to draw a conclusion about the advisability of using information and communication technologies for the formation of professional competence of students of mathematical specialties.

The article highlights various aspects of the use of information and communication technologies in the training of future higher education specialists. Information technologies, as one of the components of a holistic system of education, not only open up opportunities for the variability of educational activity, its individualization and differentiation, but also allow to organize the interaction of all subjects of education in a new way. One of the main tasks of modern general education is the formation of information competence: mastery of information technologies, understanding of their application, weaknesses and strengths, the ability to critically evaluate information distributed by various means and advertising. Thus, the inclusion of new technologies in the educational process has become a socially determined necessity. The transition to the information society requires the education system to solve a fundamentally new problem of training people who are adapted to the rapidly changing realities of the surrounding reality, capable not only of perceiving, storing and reproducing information, but also of producing new information, managing information flows and processing them effectively. The integrity of activities related to the use of information and communication technologies presupposes the inseparable unity of education and training. Since the basis of professional training is methodological knowledge, as well as practical skills of a normative and creative nature, which are the property of the future specialist and determine his individuality, the structure of professional training for the use of information and communication technologies can be represented by three components: cognitive, personal and activity components.

The article explores the processes of global use of information technologies and systems, which allows creating economic benefits and promoting social and political integration, causing general prosperity and sustainable development of society. A review of the networked readiness system is provided, which provides executives with directive information on the key pillars to take into account the full use of information and communication technologies in their economic growth strategies. The essence of the modern model of the Network Readiness Index (NRI), which consists of four main pillars (technology, people, governance and impact), is revealed, each of which is formed from three sub-pillars, defining in a complex the real state of the use of information and communication technologies in a particular country. The rating of Ukraine according to the Networked Readiness Index and its main four pillars is presented. The degree of implementation of information technologies at Ukrainian enterprises by types of economic activity and their use of information and communication technologies, depending on the average number of employees, taking into account access to the Internet, the presence of a website and the purchase of cloud computing services are given. The essence and measurements of the basic principles (scientific validity, competence, timeliness, completeness of content, flexibility and homeostaticity) regarding the adoption of management decisions in the network economy are considered, which allows obtaining a synergistic effect. It is proposed to focus further research on the generation and design of a communication and information technology system, increasing investment in the information and communication technology sector and further popularizing the Internet and developing e-commerce.

The use of digital technology in various fields of education today is one of the most important trends in the educational process in the world. The article presents the results of the analysis of the current state of implementation of ICT in the educational process of institutions of general secondary education in Ukraine. For this purpose, a survey was conducted among students of the first year of the Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University, within which 17 questions were asked to students related to the use of information and communication technologies in the educational process. As a result of the research, the introduction of the discipline “Educational technologies and digital education” into the training of future information technology specialists was substantiated, as well as the certification educational program “Information systems and cloud technologies in the educational process”, designed for general education teachers, educators for higher education institutions, experts in the field of additional educational services, and other professionals.

The article deals with the formation of information and communication competence of junior high school students in computer science lessons in elementary school by means of project activities. The author emphasizes that the vocation of educational institutions in our time (including elementary school) consists in the formation of competences in the students of education, which today act as a guarantee of a successful professional and personal life of a person. Also, in the conditions of the rapid development of computer equipment and information technologies, the priority of education development is determined by the introduction of modern information and communication technologies in education, which ensure the improvement of the educational process, the accessibility and effectiveness of education, and the preparation of the young generation for life in the information society. And the most effective means of solving the tasks in our time are projects as an activity for solving various problems. Projects have certain features and significantly increase motivation to study, as they form a reasonable balance between academic knowledge and pragmatic skills. The use of project activities in the educational process makes it possible to comprehensively solve the tasks of education, upbringing and development of the school. The implementation of projects by younger schoolchildren makes it possible to form a personality that better adapts to changing conditions and circumstances, orients itself in various situations, successfully integrates into society, defines and implements its life strategy, is capable of self-organization, self-realization, and creative potential. An important role in solving project problems is played by information technologies, familiarization and assimilation of which takes place in computer science classes in elementary school. The use of information and communication technologies in project activities makes it possible to master new ways of working with alternative sources of knowledge, establish new contacts to expand the sphere of communication. The positive emotions that students receive in project activities using information and communication technologies strengthen their self-confidence, contribute to the development of their cognitive activity, and increase motivation to study school subjects. In this case, the implementation of projects using information and communication technologies should be an integral structural element of the educational process of primary school.

У статті представлено результати теоретичного й емпіричного дослідження впливу інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій (ІКТ) на мовленнєвий досвід дітей молодшого шкільного віку, виявлено напрями подальших досліджень впливу мережі Інтернет середовища на мовленнєвий досвід. Визначено проблему, що полягає у недостатньому врахуванні у педагогічному процесі нецілеспрямованого і неорганізованого використання дітьми інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій. З’ясовано основні теоретичні підходи до вивчення проблеми взаємодії дітей і Інтернет-середовища та основні напрями використання ІКТ у педагогічному процесі. Критичне осмислення наукових теоретичних та практичних розвідок дало змогу виокремити потребу вивчення питання впливу інформаційних ресурсів мережі Інтернет на змістові характеристики мовленнєвого досвіду дітей молодшого шкільного віку. У статті обґрунтовано підхід до вивчення мовлення саме як до мовленнєвого досвіду, докладно описано методику емпіричного дослідження. Дослідження здійснюється в парадигмі теорії мовленнєвого досвіду, згідно з якою останній розглядається як система у свідомості особистості, спрямована на здійснення мовленнєвого освоєння особистістю світу. Зовнішня структура мовленнєвого досвіду, котра складається з мовленнєвої компетентності, мовної картини світу та мовленнєвої культури, виконує функцію опосередкування мовленнєвої взаємодії дитини із світом. У статті визначено провідні функції кожного елементу мовленнєвого досвіду, змістові характеристики та маркери, а також діагностичний інструментарій, за допомогою якого виявляються ці маркери. У результаті здійсненого емпіричного дослідження було виокремлено специфічні змістові характеристики мовленнєвого досвіду дітей молодшого шкільного віку, зумовлені використанням ІКТ: збільшення асортименту та диференціації емоцій одночасно зі зменшенням здатності до їх вербалізації; переважання динамічних фреймових когнітивних структур над статичними; розширення семантичних полів; збільшення ініціативності в комунікації; зменшення ролі правильності мовлення, дотримання граматичних і синтаксичних норм мови; збільшення семантичної гнучкості. Провідним висновком здійсненого дослідження є те, що використання ІКТ здійснює вплив не лише на кількісні показники мовленнєвого досвіду дітей молодшого шкільного віку (рівень мовленнєвого розвитку), а змінює його змістові характеристики.
