Use of foresight technologies in advanced training of educators

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The strategic importance of global pedagogical forecasting is actualized in the article. The demands of the digital society dictate the need to master the latest information technologies. The goal of research is to analyze the research opportunities of foresight technologies in the framework of advanced training courses. Methodology (materials and methods). Comparative analysis of technologies and results of teachers foresight sessions is the leading idea of the research methodology. The author substantiates the inclusion of foresight technology in additional professional training programs for teachers. Four foresight sessions are distinguished and characterized. “Choice Big Date” for instruments for the implementation of the foresight project argued. Prospects for using special methods and tools for big data processing in education, their technical features are analyzed. Results. The main advantages of big data valuable for education are highlighted: collection of information from various sources; improving the quality of processes through comprehensive real-time analysis; storage of mega large data sets; greater insight into hidden information; risk reduction, optimization of solutions. Samples of big data in the knowledge of the picture of the world, pedagogical research, evaluation of the quality of education are reasoned. Barriers to the use of Big data In pedagogical practice, highlighted by teachers at the foresight session, are indicated.
