“…At first, courses were created on the platform of universities, now there are a large number of open platforms for creating courses [14]. Since the beginning of 2020, educational institutions have switched to a distance format [15]. Teachers needed to create online courses for students and learners [16].…”

Currently, the methods and ways of teaching foreign (English) language in information departments have changed dramatically. A specialist who has received a diploma of higher education must have knowledge of his field and profession, as well as excellent language. A future hacker, an IT technician must speak not only English, but also have the skills and knowledge, as well as the necessary set of terminology in a foreign language in his professional field, have professional communication skills. The use of modern Internet and information technologies in practical classes in the discipline of a foreign language creates conditions for the development of students’ cognitive, educational and language skills. Through information technology, information students improve their writing, speaking, and listening skills. In the presented article, educational Internet materials were considered. It was found that the use of modern information technology in the practical classes significantly increases the motivation of students in the study of a foreign language.

“…However, the question arises as to whether the lecturer in higher education is sufficiently prepared for pedagogical activities in the current challenging conditions of practice. In the context of the processes of globalization and internationalization of all areas of social life, there is a requirement for defining learning quality standards as part of internal higher education quality standards, both in the fields of research and educational activities and goals of the institution [12][13][14][15]. The basic goal of educational activity should be a competitive graduate whose knowledge and skills are at the level of the most up-to-date scientific knowledge, and who is available to the labor market [12,16].…”

“…A blended approach combining professional development workshops, curricular examples, and a peer-support system [25] is the most successful way of increasing professional development for technological integration. Accordingly, it can be summarized that digital skills and competencies in higher education have even broader possibilities than just their implementation into the teaching process [12,13,26]. All graduates entering the labor market are required to use ICT in their future jobs, just as lecturers themselves are required to use ICT as a teaching tool in addition to administration purposes [16].…”

Objective: Learning to teach at the higher education level is not a straightforward path in Slovakia, and there are fewer opportunities to learn how to teach at this level. The paper summarizes selected findings and proposals for improvements related to the implementation of measures in selected areas of higher education institutions (HEI). The aim of the paper was to explore digital competency development in higher education institutions and factors with regard to university lecturers that affect the quality of the educational process in the context of the overall quality of graduates and labor market requirements. In addition, our study aims to fill an information gap and provide original data useful in the process of digital competency development in higher education. Methods/Analysis: The study employed an exploratory mixed-methods design. The data for this study is based on a survey with 24 open and closed questions and an analysis of 46 final thesis studies. Findings: Both the qualitative statements of the university lecturers and the survey shed light on the following: (1) (Re)creation of motivational factors; (2) Potential development of digital competencies; and (3) Supporting innovation in higher education. The results led to consideration of the educational process quality at the level of the subject and the object of education. Novelty/Improvement: The results point to the importance of investment in technology. This is related to improved educational outcomes and sustainable innovation in higher education. Slovak national education policymakers should provide innovative ways to increase the development of digital competencies in higher education institutions through the Recovery Plan for Europe; providing investment in technology related to improved educational outcomes and the development of sustainable innovation in higher education will all help to raise the standard.

Aim. The main aim of the study is a presentation of the results of a quasi-experiment related to using a serious game in the preparation phase of supervised teaching practice as well as during its completion. Methods. The main method of the study is a quasi-experiment with the factor rotation technique. The method comprised two phases with two unequal groups of surveyed university students. In the first phase, the experimental influence was investigated in the first group and the second group served as the control group (to compare the results). In the second phase, the groups were switched around in the quasi-experiment; the control group became the experimental group and vice versa. Results. The presented study has a theoretical-empirical character. In the theoretical part, the characteristics of quasi-experiment and its use are briefly discussed. In the empirical part, the quasi-experiment is applied to the educational reality of future teachers. Supervised practice teaching is an important part of the university education of future teachers. Using a serious game therein is a positive element also when it comes to the development of students’ approach towards supervised teaching practice. Conclusion. Quasi-experiment is used as an experimental method for verification of examined reality. In the educational reality, its realisation is more difficult because it is a more demanding environment than a laboratory one. By realising the quasi-experiment, the theoretical supposition about the positive influence of serious games on the development of a university student’s personality can be confirmed.
