Abstract

The article considers the problem of the forming a culture of empathic behavior of would-be school teachers in the digitalization of the educational space. The author of the article outlines the relevance of the problem studied, when researchers in Russia and abroad increasingly focus on the formation of new pedagogical competencies in connection with the immersion of the educational process in the electronic environment. Having analyzed the problem under study, and, based on the results of a previous study, the author of the article concludes that the forming such a significant quality of a teacher as empathic behavior and empathic culture will be most effective if computer technologies are introduced into the educational process to form this quality. The purpose of this article is to identify and implement the most effective computer-based interactive programs for assessing and building a culture of empathic behavior for would-be school teachers. Participants in the experiment were second-year bachelors-students getting qualification in Education. The results of the study showed that in the group where adapted computer and author’s technology for forming a culture of empathic behavior was implemented, future teachers are more interested in their profession and they showed better motivation to study pedagogical disciplines than in the group where traditional methods of formation were applied of studied quality. In general, the control online test showed that the use of computer technology is as effective as active interactive methods for developing a culture of empathic behavior for would-be school teachers. The author of the article concludes that it is very important and necessary to use computer technology in pedagogy to form precisely empathic qualities, in connection with the transition to network interaction relations, which involves the formation of new competencies in the educational entities of productive network interaction with other people. The need for new competencies requires changes at all levels of education.
