Preparing Future Teachers for Preventive Work with Parents in the Context of Digitalization of Education

Abstract

The article substantiates the need to include in the content of the main professional educational program for the training of future teachers of primary general education questions about the risks of the impact of digitalization of education on the health of schoolchildren and about students’ mastery of methods and forms of preventive work with parents in this area.

Purpose: to identify the needs of parents in pedagogical support for the problems of preserving children’s health in the context of the use of digital educational technologies and designing the content of professional blocks of relevant disciplines.

Materials and methods:

– analysis of the main professional educational program for the training of teachers of primary general education;

– survey of parents of primary school students;

– methods of quantitative and qualitative data processing.

The system-activity, competence-based and personality- oriented approaches are implemented.

The results of our own research are presented, confirming the lack of awareness of parents about the risks of the impact of digitalization of education on children’s health and the need for their pedagogical support. This led to the need to strengthen the training of future teachers of primary general education for preventive work with parents in solving these tasks.

1. The high need of parents for pedagogical support in the context of digitalization of education has been identified.
2. There is a need to supplement work curricula with questions about the risks of using digital technologies in the education of schoolchildren, and about preventive work with parents.
3. It is necessary to develop the ability of future teachers to implement these professional tasks in practice.
