Training of future primary school teacher for lesson planning in digital educational environment

Introduction. The education system is involved in the process of digital transformation. On the one hand, it is the object of transformation itself, and on the other hand, it has to train personnel for the digital economy. Pedagogical universities solve the problem of training future teachers in the fields of improving their own ICT competence and lesson design in a digital educational environment, as well as the use of digital educational resources. The analysis of pedagogical education programs shows that the training of future primary school teachers in the field of ICT and the development of their digital literacy is carried out systematically. However, in our opinion, teacher training in the field of lesson planning methodology in the digital educational environment is carried out at an insufficient level. The aim of the research is to identify the level of training of future primary school teachers to lesson planning in the digital educational environment. Materials and methods. Theoretical part of the research used the method of analyzing literary sources to substantiate the relevance and identify the current state of the problem of training future primary school teacher to use digital educational resources. During the practical part of the work, we used V. G. Katashev's method “Determination of professional learning motivation”, pedagogical testing, content analysis, mathematical methods, including Spearman's rank correlation method. The study involved 81 full-time 2nd and 4th year students of the faculty of training of primary school teachers of South Ural State Humanitarian-Pedagogical University (Russia, Chelyabinsk). KEYWORDS Results. The components of the future primary school teacher's training for lesson planning in the digital educational environment are identified: motivational, cognitive and activity components. The main groups of difficulties of future primary school teachers in lesson planning in the digital educational environment are identified: technical, psychological, pedagogical, didactic, methodological. Generalization of the results of the research of future primary school teachers' training for lesson planning in the digital environment allows us to state the insufficient level in 3.7% of students, threshold – in 19.8%, optimal – in 54.3%, advanced – in 22.2%. Conclusion. The important aspects of training students – future primary school teachers to lesson planning in the digital educational environment include: 1) determination of the stages of its formation in the course of pedagogical education (preparatory, basic, and final); 2) determination of the content of students' activities based on the specifics of their difficulties identified as a result of analyzing the technological maps of lessons reflecting the use of digital educational resources; 3) development and implementation of practice-oriented educational products that help to improve the level of training of future primary school teachers to use digital educational resources during lessons.
