The impact of information technologies on the personal and professional maturity of students

Abstract

The content focuses on students' personal and professional maturity and the key qualities that can help future specialists succeed in modern opportunities. It highlights basic principles of information technologies, including their functions and structuralcomponents, in applying computer learning technologies to develop students' maturity in higher education. Virtual reality is introduced as a new technology for non-contact information interaction, allowing students to experience the illusion of direct presence in real time through a multimedia environment presented on a stereoscopic "screen world". The results from the initial phase of the study confirmed the need to incorporate well-founded pedagogical conditions and a comprehensive system to foster students' personal and professional maturity through the use of information technologies, creating better conditions for development in higher education. Across all criteria, the levels of personal and professional maturity among students in the experimental group, who used information technologies, were significantly higher than those in the control group. This supports the effectiveness of the proposed pedagogical conditions and the system designed for developing students' maturity through information technology integration.
