The article addresses the current issue of using SMART complexes in the educational process of higher education institutions as a tool for significantly enhancing the professional training of future teachers. The study highlights the content of teachers’ informational-digital and subject-methodological competencies through the lens of the updated Professional Teacher Standard (2024), which requires a high level of autonomy in designing digital learning environments.
The rationale for teaching the course “SMART Complexes” as an elective component of the curriculum for students of various specializations within the field of “Secondary Education” (Informatics, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, History, Ukrainian Language, Arts, Technology) is substantiated. The essence of the SMART complex is analyzed as a dynamic didactic hub that integrates static resources, cloud services, and artificial intelligence tools.
Particular attention is paid to the subject-specific differentiation in constructing the educational process: from the use of virtual laboratories and simulations in the natural science and technology cycle to the application of interactive archives, gamified platforms, and visualization tools in the humanities and arts disciplines. The study highlights the transformation of the teacher’s role into a facilitator of innovative design and the role of SMART complexes in developing continuous professional development skills. Special emphasis is placed on ethical practices and adherence to academic integrity when using artificial intelligence technologies for designing learning tasks, in accordance with the Ministry of Education and Science’s instructional and methodological guidelines on the implementation and use of AI in general secondary education institutions.
The proposed conceptual model for using SMART complexes ensures flexibility in students’ educational trajectories and their readiness for professional activity in a constantly evolving technological landscape.
