Nowadays the information technology has become one of the main priorities in the planning of education system development. An integral and important part of these technologies is digitalization of the educational process.

This process is accompanied by significant changes in the pedagogical theory and practice related to the teaching.

The modernisation of the computer software and hardware made possible to introduce the corrective measures in the content for it to be adequate to modern technical capabilities. Moreover, IT facilitated the harmonious entry of the child into the information society.

Computer technologies are meant to become not an additional "makeweight" in teaching, but an integral part of a holistic educational process that significantly enhances its effectiveness.

The use of modern information and telecommunication technologies in training opens exceptional prospects both in terms of improving the quality of education and in terms of expanding the educational institutions themselves.

Information technology is an instrument, without which the solution of a number of problems would be currently difficult or impossible. The ICT (information and communications technology) is an effective method of individual learning, because it intensifies the independent work of students, increases motivation and cognitive activity. The students develop the ability to search for the solutions, build their network, and classify information by critically approaching it. As a whole, digitalization contributes to the enhancement of the information culture, which is an indispensable quality of the modern person, instils self-education skills, helps "turn learning into the joy of discovery ".

For the effectiveness of the learning process in modern conditions, it is necessary to include information and reference systems, electronic textbooks and encyclopaedias, applications and browser extensions to the educational system. The use of audio & video materials also contributes to the improvement of the students’ cognitive activity and has a significant capacity. Thus, the electronic educational resources and the new educational environment formed on their basis have considerable potential for improving the quality of education now and forever.

The introduction of information and communication technologies in the educational process allows students:

- form the key subject competencies;

- accelerate the search for necessary information;

- access for free the knowledge accumulated by the world community;

- stay in a comfortable emotional environment during repetition, assimilation of new material;

- stimulate the motivation for learning, create an "intellectual aura" due to the visibility, demonstrativeness of the presented material, presentation of the studied in the form of graphs, schemes, animation;

- stimulate self-education, self-analysis;

- work actively, creatively on particular topics and problems;

- work more efficiently on the planning the future;

- fill in the gaps in the material effectively;

- follow the channels dedicated to virtual laboratory, workshop or excursion;

- study according to their rhythm, individual characteristics in an independent search mode.

Hence, the penetration of modern information technologies into the sphere of education allows teachers to qualitatively change the content, methods and organizational forms of education. The purpose of these technologies in education is to strengthen intellectual abilities of the students in the information society, as well as humanization, individualization, intensification of the learning process. All in all, to improve drastically the quality of education at all levels of the system. Digitalization is an integral part of the information process. Digitalization of the school or university education is one of the large-scale innovations, which is slowly coming to our lives from the recent decades.

Taking into account the enormous influence of modern information technologies on the education process, many educators are increasingly willing to include them in their methodological system. However, the process of applying IT in educational sphere can’t happen instantly, it’s a gradual and continuous process.

Thus, information technologies are no longer instruments complementary to the education system, but an imperative to establish a new order of knowledge and its institutional structures. Moreover, in order to ensure the needs of the trainees in obtaining knowledge, the teacher must master all the possibilities IT is capable to provide.

Taking into account the continuous development of the technologies, the educators should constantly improve themselves through self-education. Nevertheless, they should also remember that these technologies use should be also approached creatively. Got the question? Would like to get more information or our assistance?
