Preparação de futuros profesores para a introdução de inovações digitais na escola rural: problemas e perspectivas
RESUMO. Os objetivos do artigo são fundamentar a urgência do problema da colocação de professores qualificados em escolas rurais; caracterizar as inovações digitais e sua utilização nas escolas rurais nas condições do COVID-19; e analisar as dificuldades e perspectivas da formação de professores para o uso de tecnologias digitais na educação à distância em escolas remotas rurais. Utilizamos os seguintes métodos de pesquisa: analítico, empírico e método da estatística matemática. A análise teórica do estado do problema nas ciências pedagógicas, em particular, a introdução de inovações digitais no processo educacional é delineada como uma condição necessária para o desenvolvimento sustentável da educação do campo. No artigo, apresentamos os resultados de nosso estudo empírico realizado com futuros professores sobre a sua prontidão para trabalhar no futuro em áreas rurais. Revelou-se uma lacuna entre as expectativas profissionais dos professores jovens e a prática escolar real em escolas rurais remotas. A ênfase foi colocada na necessidade de assegurar a cooperação entre escolas, pais, o público e as empresas locais, a fim de melhorar a qualidade da educação rural.
