IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING THE SUBJECT "INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN TECHNICAL SYSTEMS" IN A PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

This article examines the issue of improving the methodology of teaching the subject “Information Technologies in Technical Systems” in a professionally oriented digital educational environment. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to teach information technologies in technical higher education not merely as a separate theoretical discipline, but as a tool for solving professionally oriented engineering problems [1]. The article analyzes the digital educational environment, virtual laboratory, simulation platform, integration of professional disciplines, digital competence, and the system of practical assignments as interrelated methodological components[5]. The study employs methods such as theoretical analysis, pedagogical modelling, comparative analysis, diagnostic assessment, experimental testing, and statistical generalization. The results indicate that lessons organized on the basis of a professionally oriented digital educational environment contribute to the development of students’ competencies in applying theoretical knowledge to practical engineering situations, analyzing technical objects through digital tools, presenting simulation results in graphical form, and drawing independent conclusions. The article presents a model for improving the teaching methodology, a system of problems and solutions, tasks to be implemented, effectiveness criteria, and the results of a sample pedagogical experiment.
