Neural networks are a new tool for the system of advanced training of teachers

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The development of modern tools and technologies based on artificial intelligence and neural networks raises the problem of their introduction and use in the education system, especially in the system of advanced training of teachers. The experience of domestic informatization shows that the process of introducing such tools in the activities of pedagogical staff is quite long and complex, which requires prompt action to adjust their training programs. Based on the results of the analysis of the possibilities of new tools and technologies and the increasing requirements of the state, the author concludes that it is necessary to develop a learning environment with a module of advanced training capable of providing the formation of new skills for teachers. The goal of research is to develop an educational digital environment based on the widespread use of neural networks and artificial intelligence. The article presents the complex composition of this environment and its tasks, with special attention paid to the development and testing of a specialized module that provides training of teachers to work with neural networks. Methodology. The research methodology is based on systemic, synergetic and adragogical approaches. The identified approaches are able to ensure the design of the SMART-environment model and its components. The methods of analysis, induction, work with documents, pedagogical design and modeling were used.
