Ergonomic aspects of computer-oriented pedagogical technologies implementation in teaching foreign languages to students of higher education institutions

Abstract

The paper reveals the content of the research aimed at studying the possibilities of computer-oriented technologies in the intensification of teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties. The content of pedagogical foreign language learning technologies has been characterized; their classification has been carried out. The role, place and advantages of instrumental technologies in teaching methods update of a foreign language in the digital society have been shown. The main types of instrumental technologies that allow to increase the efficiency of teaching foreign languages have been identified, among them the following ones have been mentioned: technologies of technical teaching aids application, computer learning technologies, telecommunication technologies, and hybrid model of instrumental technologies. The leading part of ergonomic principles and methods for designing a learning environment that provides the most optimal ratio of modern digital and traditional intensive technologies for learning foreign languages have been emphasized. The criteria have been formulated, the methodology for diagnosing the level of ergonomics of the educational environment using the method of expert assessments has been disclosed. The positive dynamics in the level of ergonomics of the educational environment, which is designed on the basis of the use of instrumental technologies for teaching foreign languages, has been shown. The conclusions regarding the effectiveness of methodological approaches to designing an ergonomic educational environment using instrumental technologies for teaching a foreign language have been formulated.

Evaluating the impact of educational technology on learning outcomes in the higher education sector: a systematic review

“…This categorization underscores the potential of mobile learning to personalize and socialize the educational experience, making it a valuable tool for instructional designers. Kuts and Lavrentieva (2022) delve into the ergonomic aspects of computer-oriented pedagogical technologies in teaching foreign languages to higher education students. They identify various types of instrumental technologies, including technical teaching aids, computer learning technologies, and telecommunication technologies.…”

Using Ergonomics Based Instruction in Teaching English Language Integrated Skills

“…Pedagogical ergonomics, as Kuts and Lavrentieva (2022) note, is a new direction of modern pedagogy that aims to comprehensively analyze and design the pedagogical activities of teachers and students in the system and consider the relationship of the human factor with the elements of the learning environment to assure its effectiveness and optimality. Furthermore, pedagogical ergonomics focuses on designing appropriate alternatives for particular activities related to using new technology; formulating requirements for technical teaching aids, and considering the level of readiness of teachers and students to use instrumental pedagogical technologies.…”

“…From the perspective of pedagogical ergonomics, as Kuts and Lavrentieva (2022) point out, it is important to ensure that educational technologies consider the motives, temperament, and engagement of students; allow students with special needs to study; activate students' perception of information; and increase their emotional tone. Kuts and Lavrentieva (2022) highlight the significance of using educational technology based on pedagogical ergonomics as follows:…”

Human-centered management in polyergatic information systems. Multi-criteria distribution of functions between operators

“…Methods for solving such problems in recent years have been proposed in a number of papers [21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, a common methodological drawback of these studies is orientation on one-criteria optimization (in most cases a problem of maximization of error-free execution probability is set) [23,24,27,28], which does not allow to fully take into account the so-called "human factor" and use not only pragmatic criteria but also purely ergonomic criteria [29].…”
