Information and communication technologies in the educational process

Abstract

In the modern world, there is a strategy to develop the information society, which should provide accessible information for all categories of citizens. Therefore, studying information and communication  technologies in the primary school children education is a priority of the  modern education development. Nowadays, when information is the main resource of the society development, education is becoming the most important process to develop skills in using information and communication technologies. The process of implementing information and communication technologies is based on the fact, that computer literacy is a mean of a child high level self-realization, and helps to  develop communication skills. The main task of information  technologies of the primary school educational process is to manage the information flow that a student takes on, its hierarchy, structuring and combining. Lessons applying information and communication technologies are an effective mean of developing the educational activity components. In the classroom, an environment of real communication is created during such lessons, where students strive to express their thoughts “in their own words”, they willingly  complete assignments, show interest in the material being studied. Schools are forced to adapt to new requirements due to the mass use  of information technologies in modern society. Applying information and communication technologies plays an important role in realizing the student creative potential and allows revealing the individual  characteristics of them each. But such complex process implementation is impossible without specially trained teachers, who are quite few in  educational institutions. This has become a big problem when schools were forced to switch to distance learning at the pandemic.
