Abstract

This article clarifies theoretical and methodological approaches to the organization and structure of the educational process in higher education using ICT. Existing models for the implementation and application of ICT training for developing students' professional competencies, used in Ukrainian universities, are analyzed. A model for the effective application and content of ICT training at a university, ensuring the effective development of students' professional competencies, is developed. Recommendations are provided for the further implementation of ICT training tools in the development of students' professional competencies at Ukrainian universities. This paper contributes to the theory and practice of using ICT in higher education. It has been established that systemic, activity-based, and competency-based approaches to ICT use at universities ensure the effective development of students' professional competencies. The importance of ICT competence among educational participants (faculty and students) in the effective use of electronic educational resources and the university's information and educational environment has been clarified. Scientific and methodological understanding of the process of using ICT in higher education, based on the principles of continuity and uninterrupted information training for students, has been expanded, enabling optimal solutions to a range of scientific and practical problems related to ICT use in education
