Problem statement. One of the approaches to solving the problem of predicting the academic performance of students is displayed. Unlike existing studies in this area, which are mainly aimed at predicting the effectiveness of graduation, that is, based on the results of intermediate certifications that allow us to assess the chances of students to successfully graduate from a university, the results of this study are aimed at predicting the success of education in the early stages of the educational process. Methodology. A feature and novelty of the proposed prognostic model is the forecasting of student performance based on the Markov model, the data sources of which are universal predictors of an e-learning course that determine the success of subject education based on the personal characteristics of the student. Results. The authors present a description of a predictive model for assessing the success of subject education in the context of digitalization of education, reveal their experience of its approbation for students of the Siberian Federal University in the field of study “Informatics and Computer Engineering” and the results of a qualitative assessment of the model. Conclusion. The prospects for building a digital service for predicting the academic performance of students in the electronic information and educational environment of the university based on the results of the study are stated.

Problem statement . The use of technology determines the level of development of a country. The issue of technology adaptation in the field of education is important to secure technological integration. Due to the success in providing equality of opportunity to the entire population, the use of communication technology in the field of education is becoming more and more widespread in this context. In recent years, the significance of technological integration in the sphere of education has become apparent. A great number of research conducted on the views of students towards integrating computer assisted language learning (CALL) into the language learning classrooms, however, few studies addressing the attitudes of students towards using CALL in the Kazakhstani contexts exist in the field of language teaching. The aim of this study was to examine university level students’ attitudes towards the use of computer assisted language learning in Kazakhstan. Methodology . The quantitative method of research by analyzing the data collected through survey with the help of SPSS Statistics 23.0, as well as questionnaire developed by M. Vandewaetere and P. Desmet to measure attitudes of students towards the use of computer assisted language learning were applied. The participants of the study were 126 EFL pre-service teachers enrolled at Foreign Languages Teaching Department of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University. Results . The participants have overall positive attitudes towards using CALL in the language classroom. The difference between participants’ attitudes towards using CALL according to their age of study at the university was revealed. It was found statistically significant differences between first year and second year students and first year and third year students’ views towards using CALL in language learning. Conclusion . Further research studies might be conducted in the form of mixed design in order to get more detailed information to support or understand the general results found with the help of questionnaire.

Problem statement. The relevance of the work lies in the proposed combination of methods and tools for application development during the educational process, which repeats frequent situations in industrial software development. The goal is to create conditions that allow to gain collective development skills close to real participation in software production. Methodology. During the training, students will write separate parts of the overall project, embedding their solution into the general logic of the system based on the implementation of the class interface set by the teacher. At the same time, frequently used design patterns are described and applied, such as model-view-controller, strategy, etc. The augmented project is synchronized between the participants using a version control system. As a result, students have a full-fledged application, parts of which are written by individual participants. Results. The implementation of the approach is considered on the example of the game “Chess”, in which each of the students can write the code of a separate figure; the possibilities of applying the approach within one or more classes and the potential risks of its use are indicated. Conclusion. The proposed approach allows students to gain work experience close to industrial programming and master such competencies as joint development, work in version control systems and building modular systems.

Problem statement . Modern teacher education is designed to meet the needs of the state and the requests of society related to the global information and digital transformation. This strengthens the tendency to modernize the system of teacher training at the state, regional, local and subject levels. Based on the analysis of the concepts of “digitalization”, “informatization”, “pedagogical education”, “pedagogical activity”, the filling of the parameters of digital education, depending on its functions to ensure the quality of pedagogical education at all levels is determined. The interconnection and interdependence of the components of the digital educational environment and the structural and functional constructs of teacher education are considered. Methodology. The definition of problems and prospects for the development of informatization and digitalization of teacher education is based on a terminological and content-functional analysis of the concepts of digitalization and informatization of education, the digital educational environment. A structural and functional analysis of the positive domestic experience in the formation of information and digital educational environments in the universities of the Russia was carried out. The criteria for the directions of development of informatization and digitalization of teacher education was specified, based on the requirements of the state reflected in regulatory documents, the requests of regions, determined on the basis of an analysis of strategies for their development, modernization of the structure, content and requirements for training at the institutional level. Results. The theoretical aspects of the conjugation of the terms of informatization and digitalization, influencing the modernization of the sphere of teacher training, have been identified and substantiated. The problems of the system of teacher education are considered, which indicate the need for its reform on the basis of intensification of information and digital transformation of this sphere. Conclusion. The requirements and directions of modernization of teacher education in the conditions of digital transformation, which are associated with a change in approaches to the training of teachers, to the need for integrative consideration of the functions of pedagogical activity and the digital educational environment are defined.

Problem statement . Every year, immersive equipment becomes more accessible, and the material and technical base of educational organizations is filled with new innovative devices. An urgent scientific task is the development of methods and tools for the implementation and usage of immersive devices in the educational process. Methodology. The authors describe approaches to the informatization of education based on the model of the center of immersive technologies (CIT), which contributes to the solution of managerial, methodical, pedagogical and technical problems associated with the application of immersive technologies in the educational and career guidance processes of educational organizations. The main functions of the CIT model are divided into three components: training students of secondary vocational education (SVE) in working professions, the realization of short programs for advanced training and assessment of qualifications, career guidance of schoolchildren. The key users of the CIT model are SVE students, schoolchildren and their parents, the management team of the educational organizations, teachers. The CIT model can be implemented in any organization that has immersive equipment (VR/AR) and human resources. Results. The implementation of immersive simulators in teaching students in professional programs, educational practice, as well as in organizing and conducting professional excellence championships demonstrates approximately equal effectiveness in comparison with traditional teaching methods, except for the cases in which it is important to develop tactile skills in working with certain equipment. Using the example of the execution of VR simulators in the teaching of the subject “Technology” in the school course, the advantage of learning on real machines is demonstrated. It was discovered that the maximum pedagogical effect is achieved by adding VR simulators to the training course and by using a combined approach. VR simulators are necessary for work in the absence of workshops and serve as an important didactic propaedeutic tool when they are available. Conclusion. The domestic and foreign experience of using immersive technologies in educational and outreach activities is analyzed, the development projects of the Russian Federation in the field of immersive technologies are considered. The relevance, theoretical and practical significance of the development and implementation of the CIT model are substantiated. The results of approbation in educational institutions of secondary vocational and basic general education are presented.
