Web-based platform for didactic interaction in pedagogical student practice
Abstract: The digital transformation of pedagogical practice necessitates the creation of an integrated educational environment that supports the effective planning, organization, implementation, and analysis of pre-service teachers’ practical training. This study presents and evaluates a web-based platform designed to facilitate didactic interaction during the pedagogical practice of pre-service teachers in Technology and Entrepreneurship Education. The proposed conceptual model structures pedagogical practice as an interconnected five-stage cycle: preparation and planning, development of didactic materials, implementation of pedagogical activities, feedback and assessment, and reflection and sharing. The platform serves as a unified digital environment for interaction among pre-service teachers, university lecturers, and mentor teachers by supporting activity coordination, communication, access to educational resources, and the monitoring of professional development. The integration of an electronic portfolio, a digital repository of effective pedagogical practices, feedback tools, and facilities for sharing educational and methodological resources creates conditions for active collaboration, reflective learning, and the exchange of innovative pedagogical ideas. The primary objective of the study is to determine the platform’s potential to enhance the quality and effectiveness of pedagogical practice and to support the development of pre-service teachers’ methodological, didactic, digital, and professional competencies. The findings indicate positive trends in the organization of practical training, interaction among participants, the timeliness of feedback, and professional reflection. These findings support considering the web-based platform as a promising instrument for the technologically and pedagogically grounded enhancement of pre-service teacher education.
