ON THE METHODS OF TEACHING THE DISCIPLINE “UX/UI DESIGN” IN PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITIES, WITH THE PURPOSE OF ТEACHING FUTURE TEACHERS TO DESIGN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES ORIENTED TO LEARNERS

Abstract

Informatization of education has been one of the main trends in modern education for more than two decades. But despite this, many teachers are not yet able to professionally participate in the modernization of today's schools. The main obstacle to the effective work of teachers is the lack of digital competence and the lack of ability to use electronic teaching tools. To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the level of digital competence among teachers and teach them the basic principles and technologies of designing and developing electronic educational resources. This needs to start from the stage of trainings in pedagogical universities. The article aims to show the need to train students of pedagogical universities in the basics of design and development of electronic educational resources, as well as to demonstrate the importance of introducing the “UX/UI Design” course into the educational process for training future teachers in the design of educational resources focused on learners.

 The article presents some features of teaching the discipline “UX/UI design” in pedagogical universities, and various approaches leading to the development of creative thinking of students. Particular attention is drawn to presenting the capabilities of Figma technology, as well as the ease of its use in the design of electronic educational resources and learning-oriented mobile applications.
