The article actualizes the choice of Python programming language for professional training of future teachers of informatics in pedagogical university. Python, being one of the most relevant programming languages, is being introduced into education, and the future informatics teacher should be ready to effectively use it to teach the basics of programming. In addition, the Python language is one of the leading tools for the implementation of advanced technologies of artificial intelligence, and therefore, owning this programming language teacher can be part of the mechanism of implementation of artificial intelligence in education. The objective of the article is to consider the features of the organization of the course of programming in Python for the training of future teachers of informatics. Methodology. During the development of the author’s course of programming in Python educational literature on programming in this language was analyzed, as well as articles by practicing teachers and researchers describing their experience of teaching Python. Results and conclusion. To ensure quality training of future teachers of informatics at Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University a course of programming in Python was developed and tested in the discipline “Programming”. During the development of the course, typical problems of teaching Python at school and university were taken into account, identified by both the authors of the article and other practicing programming teachers. The structure of the developed course with the description of its constituent sections is given. The article presents the results of a survey of students of 3d and 4th undergraduate courses, who completed the presented course, on the key issues covered in the article. Respondents noted the relevance of learning Python and the effectiveness of certain organizational features of the course. The continuity of the course for further training of future teachers of informatics to the current technologies of artificial intelligence is revealed.

The article is devoted to the problem of computer networks simulation in educational process. The article examines the current state of affairs in this area. The analysis of the existing software for computer networks simulation is performed. The practical example of Cisco Packet Tracer software using for computer network simulation as part of the Computer Networks training course is provided.

The article is devoted to the problem of professional training of university students in the field of computer networks in the absence of specialized laboratories. The solution to this problem is the use of computer networks simulation tools. The authors presented thematic plan for studying the discipline ≪Computer networks and the Internet≫. The article considers domestic and foreign experience of using computer networks simulation tools. Based on the eight criteria identified by the authors, the analysis was carried out of the most popular software in the academic environment for computer networks modeling: Cisco Packet Tracer, GNS3, NS-3, EVE-NG, OMNeT++. As a result of the analysis and comparison, it was concluded that the Cisco Packet Tracer software product is the most preferred modeling environment in the conditions of a pedagogical university. The example of using the Cisco Packet Tracer modeling system within the training course ≪Computer networks and the Internet≫ is given, demonstrating the solution of a practice-oriented problem. The example shows the possibility of simulating switching, server, user equipment in the Cisco Packet Tracer environment; the ability to work with wireless networks. The principles of setting up server hardware and related software are considered.
