Abstract

Research into the integration of digital educational platforms into the teaching process at teacher training universities, particularly into the practical activities of students, is an important stage in the digital transformation of higher and secondary education. The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of using various types of modern educational platforms in the theoretical and practical training of students majoring in teaching. The effectiveness of integrating digital educational platforms into the training of philology students was tested through descriptive and predictive analysis. The preparatory work for the practical activities of future teachers was to determine the types of educational digital platforms according to the purpose and functions (management, educational, gaming, communication and analytical), as well as innovative characteristics (feedback, artificial intelligence, etc.). The proposed colour indexing of digital educational platforms served as an auxiliary tool for defining the functional capabilities. The results of the work showed that students and teachers are generally familiar with digital resources and understand the advantages and disadvantages. The ratings on a five-point scale of educational platforms and the educational capabilities differed significantly among respondents – student interns, school teachers, and secondary school students. Teachers and interns rated electronic management platforms and educational content 1.5 points higher than students. However, the use of interactive forms of learning, communication opportunities, and artificial intelligence was rated 2-2.5 points higher than teachers’ assessments. The study’s results showed that the introduction of digital educational platforms contributes to the professional training of students and helps secondary school teachers become aware of the students’ learning expectations regarding digital resources
