Introduction. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education provides promising opportunities for individual learning. However, one can question the efficiency of using electronic resources for certain students, e.g. hearing-impaired students, if their special cognitive characteristics were not considered while designing these resources. The aim of the research presented in the publication is to develop a scientific basis and the methodology for the effective teaching of basic disciplines using various sources of information. Methodology and research methods. The presented research results were obtained using standard and adapted methods (‘10 words’ adapted technique, Schulte tables, standardized methods for studying reading skills), questionnaires, analysis of written works based on the developed criteria. A series of experiments involved students majoring in Engineering at Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University: 98 students participated in experiments with the adapted "10 words" method and Schulte tables (19 of them were hearing impaired); for the analysis of writing skills, the works of 116 students were collected (27 of them-with hearing impairment); 12 students with hearing impairment took part in experiments on reading skills. Results. For short-term memory, the results turned out to be better when demonstrating words from the electronic board than from printed sources (students with health standard: electronic board – 7.24 words; printed source – 6.39; for deaf and hard of hearing students: 6.2 and 5.8 words respectively). Based on the results of the attentiveness test (adapted Schulte tables), this indicator is better when working with tables in paper form (Student's t-test: tcr=1.97 (p≤0.05), tcr=2.61(p≤0.01), temp = 2.3). For reading skills, research has shown that students did a better job with keyword and abstracting when working with printed text (tcr=2.07 (p≤0.05), tcr=2.82(p≤0.01), temp= 2.4). As for the monitoring of writing skills, for hearing impaired students, the main monitoring criterion is emotionality (expressiveness); some features of visual perception of the sentences arrangement are also noted. Scientific novelty. The analysis of the results of these experiments will allow us to clarify the features of comparing the cognitive skills dealing with the information perception from different media when teaching people with hearing impairment. Practical significance. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that in the learning process it is recommended to combine sources of information on different media.

This article is a review of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) help in the assessment and early intervention of reading disabilities (RD) and especially of dyslexia. Phonological awareness is highlighted as a main ability that predicts later reading skills. Here are presented several studies that display computer games, programs and applications by which teachers can intervene to boost phonological awareness and help preventing RD or dyslexia from an early age. Most studies focus in preschool age, although dyslexia in kindergarten is a field that has not been investigated thoroughly, and are certainly a precursor for studies to follow.


This investigation is part of a development model to adopt the information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to the teaching-learning process at the Technical University of Cotopaxi. Specifically, to improve the higher education, as a result of the steady advances in the field of digital knowledge and educational technology, for that reason, the Institutions must improve their academic organization and education processes. Through the use of technologies, educational institutions try to integrate information and innovation. In this context and reviewing the problem case through the application of the ICT new Acceptance Model, the student's teaching-learning process will improve. The investigation showed the expected results with the creation of the latest ICT adoption model. Using collaborative tools within a collaborative learning environment (CLE) to elaborate constructs Cronbach's alpha, variance, and correlations and the statistical software were used as the Minitab validated the hypotheses.

The article identifies some approaches to identifying the concepts of media and legal information. Some classifications of mass media and their immanent elements are considered. The concept of information and its qualifying legal features are defined. The main Laws of Ukraine concerning information are highlighted. Separate normative-legal laws of Ukraine on information and various forms of information are singled out. Categories of legal, public information and misinformation are considered. The key Law of Ukraine on information dated October 2, 1992 № 2657-XII has been determined. It is investigated, that the main source of legal information is the Constitution of Ukraine in accordance to the Law of Ukraine "On Information". It is proved, that information can exist in an ideal and material form and be the object of commodity relations. Attention is drawn to the Law of Ukraine "On Electronic Documents and Electronic Document Management". It is proved, that in the era of using information and communication technologies, the implementation of e-government makes it possible to operate in an information society. Sources for media information have been identified - state, confidential and anonymous. Attention is drawn to the access of the media to confidential information, to data that are not disclosed or published only by court decision. An example is given of the possibility of disseminating public or private information about a person. Attention is drawn to the need to verify anonymous information. In conclusion, it is emphasized, that the media in Ukraine are trying to follow in the footsteps of the latest information and communication technologies. The use of constitutional and legal acts is a vital necessary condition for building civil society, guaranteeing the constitutionality of democracy, freedom of access of the media to primary sources of information.

This article propose a didactic, through games, tool based on information and communication technologies, in order to eliminate possible communication barriers and to promote the inclusion of students with hearing impairment in Physical Education classes. To this end, a dossier of traditional games has been developed. These are structured in turn into objectives, materials, organisation, graphic description and a QR code for each game. These codes are linked to different videos hosted on the YouTube platform, in which the explanation of the games, mentioned above, can be visualised graphically using sign language. The whole creative process is described in the article, as well as possible pedagogical applications of the use of the tools created for this purpose in other educational contexts.

The article deals with theoretical and practical aspects of the use of information and communication technologies of training in philosophy classes in the process of professional training of future specialists in labor protection. The author analyzed the use of information and communication technologies during training sessions - lectures and seminars on philosophy, preparation of abstracts and scientific works on the specified discipline. It is revealed that the systematic use of information and communication technologies of teaching allows creating a fundamentally new information educational sphere, thus providing wide opportunities for educational activities, greatly affects the redistribution of roles among its participants, increases motivation, develops autonomy, provides individualization and differentiation of the educational process , contributes to the modernization of the traditional education system. All this makes it possible to improve the quality of learning. The article states that the inclusion of information and communication technologies in the educational process creates a network environment in which education becomes a sequence of social contacts, each of which is communication. Thanks to the use of modern information and communication technologies, in particular in philosophy classes, the teacher has the opportunity to use all the necessary tools for effective assimilation and perception of the researched issues. Lectures become more saturated with factual material, and students listen more, rather than writing under dictation, which is positively perceived by listeners. Modern multimedia technologies, opening students access to non-traditional sources of information, increase the efficiency of independent work in philosophy, provide completely new opportunities for creativity, finding and consolidating new professional skills, allow to implement fundamentally new forms and methods of learning, which certainly has a positive effect on the common activities of teacher and student in the process of studying philosophy.
