Abstract

The analysis of the experience in using learning platforms for the education of future specialists in different countries of the world is relevant for understanding and explaining the positive and negative aspects of learning platforms implementation in the process of professional training of future teachers in Ukraine. In the article, we analyzed the experience of foreign countries (USA, Latvia, UK, Turkey, Colombia, Netherlands) in using learning platforms for the training of future mathematics teachers.

Content analysis of Internet resources; analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematisation and generalisation of research results, reflected in the publications of foreign researchers as for the implementation of learning platforms in the training of future mathematics teachers.

We highlighted the following key positions of the researchers in foreign studies: teachers' ignoring learning platforms, on the one hand, demonstrates their desire to maintain monopoly control over students' learning and their distrust of students' independent learning. On the other hand, it may demonstrate teachers' inability to use learning platforms efficiently. It’s worth noting, that learning platforms can open up a wide range of opportunities for mathematics teachers to improve the effectiveness of teaching mathematics students. At the same time teachers do not feel well prepared to use digital technologies in conducting lessons. Special training for the efficient implementation of digital technologies by teachers in the education process has to be formed during the education in the university for the teachers not to lose time for this aspect during their professional activity.

There is the increasing integration of digital technologies into the process of professional training of future teachers. Combining foreign experience in the implementation of learning platforms for the training of future specialists with the scientific potential of Ukrainian researchers is one of the ways to overcome the current problems of distance/blended learning and further introduction of innovative technologies into the Ukrainian education system
