The use of information and communication technologies in the activities of a modern teacher: a view from the inside

Abstract

Information and communication technologies occupy an important place in the life of a modern teacher. But their use is unsystematic. The purpose of this work is the specified area of information technology, the specified area of responsibility, and the space of tools and techniques that can be used by the teacher. To analyze the activities of teachers, we based on the principles of a unified model language, methods of systems analysis, and elements of the statistical information processing. As a result, the basic actors of the teacher’s activity are detemined: the state, the administration of the higher education institution, the management of the structural unit and the teacher himself. In the work "student" is considered not as an actor, but as a living environment for teaching, as the main goal for any teacher. Then we considered a teacher as the class with its required and optional attributes. These attributes are determined by state and social requirements for the modern teacher and have different states. Further the complex of the factors influencing on these attributes’ states formation are defined. Objective and subjective reasons that hinder the formation of attributes are analyzed. The resulting significant factors are distributed to the spheres of certain actors’ existence. The range of responsibilities and influence of actors on significant factors are determined. In analyzing the attributes of the teacher and the factors that contribute to or hinder their formation, open information from the reports of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine and state institutions for the collection of statistical information was used. Among the attributes are common to all teachers, regardless of the level of education they teaching. The study examined data on teachers of higher education and general secondary education (with an emphasis on teachers in grades 5-11). As a result, we emphasize the responsibilities of a teacher of higher education. We determine the range of tasks that teacher must solve in their daily work. We choose the tasks of teacher’s pedagogical activity, subjected to automation and unification. As a result, from a practical point of view, a range of elementary problems has been identified, the solution of ones can be accelerated and optimized. This work is the beginning of an article’s series devoted to solving each elementary problem from a defined list.
