The information
technology and communications (ICT) are a set of methods, production processes
and tools for hardware and software that integrate to collect, process, store,
distribute, display , and then use the information to benefit their users .
The technologies of the information and communication
Today, information and communication technology has been
actively introduced into the learning process. The computerization of education
is dictated by the demands of modern society to the quality of education and
the training of the younger generations.
Objectives of information and communication technologies
The main tasks of the implementation of ICT in the
educational process are:
• Improve
the quality of education based on the use of ICT in the educational process.
• Increase
the intellectual and creative activity of students through the use of active
learning methods.
• Integration
of different types of educational activities.
• Adaptation
of ICT in education according to the individual needs and possibilities of the
students.
• Providing
stability and follow-up in education and teaching.
• Develop
and apply relevant distance learning methods and instruments based on
information and communication technologies.
• Optimization
of the program and the methodical teaching of the educational process.
• Improve
the relevance of the modern educational system and its adaptation to the
demands of society and the State.
Classification of information and communication technologies
Educational ICT tools can be classified according to a
series of parameters.
According to the pedagogical tasks to be solved:
• Resources
aimed at providing basic training to students (learning systems, electronic
textbooks, knowledge control systems).
• The
instruments used for practical training (various workshops, questionnaires,
programs, simulators).
• Tools
used as auxiliaries (dictionaries, encyclopedias, learning games, textbooks).
• Integrated
training instruments for a specific field of study (distance learning).
According to the functions of the pedagogical process:
• Information
and learning tools, represented by electronic books, libraries, dictionaries,
reference books, etc.
• Interactive
media: email boxes, electronic video conferences (webinars), etc.
• Search
tools are represented by catalogs and search engines .
According to the type of information:
• Electronic
resources containing textual information (training and methodological manuals,
tests, questionnaires, dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.)
• Electronic
resources containing visual information (presentations, illustrations,
portraits, photographs, video tours, models, diagrams, schematics, etc.)
• Electronic
resources containing audio information (musical audio recordings, speaking
exercises, nature sounds, etc.)
• Electronic
resources that contain both audio and video information (trips on different
topics, conferences, etc.)
• Electronic
resources, containing combined information (training and methodological
manuals, questionnaires, dictionaries, scientific articles, etc.)
