Digital Technologies as A Tool for Developing HealthPreserving Competence in Future Educators

The article considers the theoretical principles of health preservation and the development of health-preserving competence in future educators ‎using digital technologies. The main elements of the innovative digital space are highlighted, and the conditions (organisational-pedagogical, ‎psychological-pedagogical, information-methodical, technological, socio-cultural) that contribute to the effective development of health-preserving competence in future educators using digital technologies are revealed. The main stages in the development of health-preserving ‎competence are discussed, and a general scheme for its development in future educators using digital technologies is presented. An organized experimental work was carried out to form health-preserving competence in future educators using digital technologies, because the ‎ascertaining stage of the study showed the advantage of low and medium levels of developing of health-preserving competence, which actu-‎alized the need to introduce pedagogical conditions that will contribute to increasing the level of developing of health-preserving competence ‎of students in the process of their professional training using digital technologies. At the stage of implementing pedagogical conditions during the experiment, the number of respondents with a high level of development of health-preserving competence significantly increased. In ‎contrast, those with a low level significantly decreased. This allows us to assess the success of our work on developing health-preserving ‎competence using digital technologies‎.
