The use of virtual reality hardware and software complexes in the professional training of computer science teachers: strategies and perspectives for the digitalization of the educational process

The necessity of analyzing the use of virtual and augmented reality hardware and software complexes in the professional training of computer science teachers under the conditions of educational digitalization is driven by the need for a profound understanding of the opportunities and challenges these technologies create for modern pedagogical practice. Such an analysis enables the assessment of the effectiveness of VR/AR tools in forming the professional, methodological, and digital competencies of future teachers, determining their level of readiness to work with immersive technologies, and outlining optimal strategies for implementing these innovations into the educational process. In the context of the digital transformation of education, such research is essential to ensure the scientifically grounded implementation of VR/AR in pedagogical personnel training, enhancing the quality of education, and adapting the educational environment to the requirements of the modern information society.
