The article examines the organizational and pedagogical bases of computer science education of future vocational teachers in the context of digital transformation of education. The relevance of the study is due to the need to form digital competencies of future teachers in accordance with the modern requirements of society, the processes of globalization, European integration and digitalization of education. The current state of the implementation of digital technologies in the professional training of teachers is analyzed and the main problems are identified, in particular, the fragmentation of the integration of information and communication technologies in the educational process, the insufficient level of digital literacy of teachers and students, the lack of uniform standards of digital training and uneven access to digital resources.The purpose of the article is to determine the organizational and pedagogical foundations of computer education of future vocational teachers, to substantiate approaches to its improvement and integration of digital technologies into the educational process. To achieve this goal, methods were used that allowed to substantiate methodological approaches to digital education and formulate recommendations for improving the educational process.The results of the study showed that computer science education is a key element of professional training of teachers, which ensures the development of skills in the effective use of ICT, work with cloud services, web technologies and automated learning systems.A particular emphasis is placed on the updating of the professional roles of teachers within the digital environment, the integration of distance and blended learning into professional training, and the introduction of modern digital educational platforms and virtual learning environments. The directions for improving the training of teaching staff in accordance with state educational standards and the National Qualifications Framework are identified.A proposed model of digital education offers a systematic approach to the formation of digital competencies, adaptation of educational programs to digital challenges, and integration of innovative teaching methods. The study's findings contribute to the development of effective strategies for the introduction of digital technologies in the training of teachers that meet the current challenges and trends in the digitalization of education.
