Abstract

The article reveals the essence and significance of technological culture as an important component of the professional competence of future teachers of natural sciences. The relevance of the problem is due to the systematic updating of natural science knowledge, the active development of information and educational technologies, the spread of innovative approaches to the organization of the educational process, which require the teacher to be able to effectively integrate modern technological solutions into educational practice. Special emphasis is placed on the need to preserve cultural values, form an ecological worldview of students and implement the principles of sustainable development. The effectiveness of the implementation of any innovative processes in school natural science education directly depends on the teacher's ability to act in an innovative mode, to promptly respond to changes in social demands and the educational environment. It is determined that the technological culture of a teacher is a complex integrative characteristic that encompasses professional knowledge, value-based and worldview guidelines, communicative and organizational skills, as well as the ability to think critically and creatively to find innovative solutions in pedagogical activity. The functions of the teacher's technological culture are characterized. It is noted that technological culture is not only an element of professional competence, but also a basic condition for the implementation of innovative changes in a modern school. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between technological culture and the quality of natural science education. In the context of the digitalization of society, the development of waste-free and environmentally friendly technologies, there is a growing need for teachers who not only possess modern technological tools, but are able to adapt them to the needs of students and the goals of the educational process. Technological culture is not only an indicator of professional competence, but also a determining factor in the competitiveness of a modern teacher of natural sciences. It ensures the teacher's ability to act effectively in conditions of change, develop and implement innovative solutions, promote the development of students' scientific and environmental thinking, and also serves as the basis for further modernization of natural science education in Ukraine.
