Innovative Approaches to the Organization of Educational Process in the Information and Educational Environmenty

Abstract

The article deals with the important issues related to informatization of professional education on the example of vocational teacher education. The research problem consists in the definition of innovative approaches to the organization of the educational process in the information and educational environment that facilitate the integration of the interests of society in the training of competent personnel and the interests of the students. The authors consider the essence and structure of the information and educational environment, the features of its functioning in the university teaching process, as well as the role and place of the educational portal elms.timacad.ru. The authors consider the use of blended learning technology, combining the possibilities of the Internet and digital media with classroom activities, for the preparation of future vocational teachers on the example of the course "Management psychology and personnel management". In particular, the authors use the "flipped classroom" model of blended learning technology: before the lesson begins, students independently study theoretical material (usually using ICTs: video lectures, audio lectures, interactive materials, diagnostic techniques, etc.), and the lesson focuses on solving problems, cooperation, training interaction, applying knowledge and skills in a new situation, creating a new training product. Empirical data are presented on the students' assessments of the effectiveness of the blended learning model on the basis of the educational portal. The main difficulties of application of mixed training technology are revealed: high labor-capacity of development of educational content for e-courses and low level of teachers’ information competence.
