Introduction:

The

advancement

of

modern

technologies is primarily focused on enhancing the
intellectual potential of society, with education being
considered a priority area. In both developed and
developing nations worldwide, considerable emphasis
is placed on the informatization of education. Efforts
are underway to advance education, improve its
effectiveness, and the incorporation of new
information technologies within education remains a
central focus of educational reforms.

Distance learning is gaining significant popularity
globally as a crucial component of the open education
system.

Currently, the most prevalent topic is the creation of
educational resources and multimedia lessons. In this
domain, individuals can demonstrate their full creative
originality, intellect, knowledge, and refined taste.
Unfortunately, it is not feasible to prepare a
multimedia project without possessing the requisite
skills in presentation preparation and database
creation; however, there are specialized software tools,
and by mastering their operational technologies, one
can obtain multifunctional working instruments.

METHODS

Information and communication technologies occupy a
significant role in the evolving system of continuous

education within our republic. Examining and analyzing
the existing experience in the implementation of
educational resources in the education system of
Uzbekistan enables an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the educational system and its subsequent
improvement. To achieve this, the study of works by
both foreign and Uzbek scholars who have explored the
theoretical and practical issues of education provides
clarification on numerous matters. Notably, the
experience of foreign scholars in this field, particularly
A.D. Garsov, G.I. Bogin, I.I. Khaleeva, N.D. Galskova,
T.M. Balikhina, A.A. Bodalev, G.A. Bordovsky, V.N.
Wagner, L.A. Verbiskaya, N.I. Gez, V.V. Davidova, I.A.
Zimnaya, and D.I. Izarepkov, underscores the
importance and necessity of linguodidactics in
education. The studies of specialists such as V.G.
Kostomarov, L.V. Moskovkin, O.D. Mitrofanova, M.V.
Lyakhovisky, E.I. Passov, Y.E. Prokhorov, R. Oxford, and
D. Higgins emphasize this necessity. The issues
surrounding electronic linguodidactics in language
education and various aspects of the application of
information technologies have been analyzed by N.M.
Shansky, A.M. Noukova, I.L. Bim, and A.D. Garsov.
Didactic and methodological concerns regarding the
use of information technologies in the educational
system of Uzbekistan are addressed in the research
conducted by A. Abduqodirov, A.Kh. Abdullaev, M.

As evident from the aforementioned areas of both
foreign and domestic research, significant results and
accomplishments have been made in the development
of the creation and implementation of educational
resources related to linguistic didactics. It is particularly
important to note that our country has the opportunity
to accumulate global experience, develop the field
without replicating past mistakes, and elevate it to a
higher level.

DISCUSSION

To engage in a discussion on the essence of the general
principles of the theory of educational technology, it is
essential to comprehend the fundamental meaning of
the term "educational technology." The term
"technology" originates from Greek, derived from the
combination of the words "techne"

skill, art, and

"logos"

concept, doctrine. In lexical terms, the

concept of "educational technology" (in English "an
educational technology") refers to a science (or
doctrine) that provides guidance on organizing the
educational (teaching) process at a high level of skill
and art.

The use of computer technologies in teaching, based on
specific studies, results in the acquisition of 25% of the
information through auditory means, 33% through
visual means, 50% through a combination of seeing and
hearing, and 75% through active engagement. For
educational purposes, a multimedia product can be
developed using Microsoft Office programs, while
additional software such as PhotoShop (for image
processing), Adobe Premiere or Vstudio2 (for video
processing), Stoik Software (for image processing and
morphing), and Phonograph Windows 95 (for recording
and processing sound) are employed to prepare the
material.

In the theory of teaching, new pedagogical and
information technologies cannot be viewed separately,
as the widespread implementation of new pedagogical
technologies transforms the educational paradigm, and
only modern information technologies ensure the
effective utilization of the capabilities of these new
pedagogical methods. Traditional approaches to
developing

students'

linguistic

and

cultural

competencies have inherent limitations. By utilizing
digital resources, it is possible to enhance the
methodology to overcome these constraints.

Digital resources play a pivotal role in expanding
students' understanding of different languages and

cultures, offering them diverse learning opportunities.
Through the use of digital tools, students can enhance
their language skills, cultural awareness, and
intercultural

communication

abilities.

The

incorporation of digital resources in teaching
significantly improves students' linguistic and cultural
competencies. Digital resources provide several
advantages in developing students' language and
cultural proficiency. By leveraging digital tools,
students can effectively refine their language and
cultural skills. Integrating game-based methods into
language and cultural education allows students to
advance both their linguistic abilities and cultural
comprehension. The use of digital resources and
various applications in language and culture education
can make the learning process more engaging and
effective for students. Examples of such applications
include "Quizizz," "Learningapps," and "Worksheet."

An analysis of computer-based teaching programs in
developed foreign countries and leading educational
institutions within our republic reveals that these
programs represent qualitatively new instructional
tools, which are fundamentally distinct from traditional
teaching methods. One of the primary tools of this
approach is the theory of computer modeling. In the
process of instruction utilizing multimedia tools,
students are afforded the opportunity to fully engage
with specific subjects on a computer, edit lecture
materials, and observe, hear, and reflect upon the
animated components of information technologies
integrated into multimedia tools during the lesson. The
rapid integration of information technologies into the
education system broadens the scope of application for
modern technologies. Simultaneously, it is possible to
identify the evolving directions of contemporary
information technologies within education. These
include:

1.

The introduction of the capabilities of software

tools for educational purposes, serving as both
instructional tools, objects of study, and means of
information processing.

Integration of the capabilities of educational and
demonstration devices with computer tools in the
creation of educational and methodological complexes.
The utilization of such complexes assists the student in
accumulating and storing information about the
processes being studied, while also elucidating the
underlying principles of these processes. The
application of educational and demonstration
complexes based on modern technologies establishes
the foundation for organizing both individual and
collective experimental activities. This provides the
student with the opportunity to develop their
intellectual and creative potential and acquire

independent knowledge.

3.

Integration of the capabilities of computers

and audio-visual information transmission devices in
the development of multimedia systems. These
systems, comprising a combination of software and
hardware tools and devices, merge various forms of
information (text, graphics, sound, image) and facilitate
interactive communication with the user. The
application of multimedia systems promotes the
adoption of active teaching methods and forms,
thereby enhancing the level of information
comprehension.

4.

Utilization of artificial intelligence systems to

develop intelligent learning systems. Such systems
form the foundation for organizing the process of
independent

learning,

self-directed

knowledge

acquisition, and the intellectualization of educational
activities. These factors collectively accelerate the
development of the student's personality.

5.

Use of telecommunications tools that enable

information exchange through global and local
computer networks.

6.

A novel technology for information exchange is

the stereoscopic visualization system in real-time,
commonly known as "Virtual Reality."

The analysis of the integration of modern information
technologies into the education system demonstrated
that they:

• assist the student in acquiring practical knowledge;

• enable the student to gain a profound understanding

of the field of science through the modeling of the
phenomena and processes under study;

• broaden the scope of the student's independent

activity by diversifying the organization of educational
activities;

• individualize and differentiate the learning process

through

the

incorporation

of

interactive

communication capabilities;

• assist the student in mastering the strategy for

acquiring educational materials through the use of
artificial intelligence systems;

• contribute to the development of an information

culture in each member of society;

• present the phenomena and processes being studied

using computer technologies, thereby enhancing
student interest and engagement.

It is impossible to separate new pedagogical and
information

technologies,

as

the

widespread

implementation of new pedagogical technologies alters
the educational paradigm, and only modern
information technologies can ensure the effective

utilization of the capabilities inherent in these new
pedagogical methods.

A comparison of the principal indicators of pedagogical
education within the contexts of traditional and
modern information technologies clearly illustrates the
promising nature of information-based pedagogical
education. This can be substantiated by the following
points. Traditional didactics aims to establish a theory
of instruction focused on accelerating the intellectual
development of the student, optimizing the skills and
abilities required for educational activities, and
creating methodological approaches that facilitate the
process of knowledge acquisition. Modern information
technologies assist in addressing new didactic
challenges, such as teaching the phenomena and
processes of the micro and macro worlds, complex
devices, and biological systems through computer
graphics and modeling, as well as presenting physical,
chemical, and biological processes occurring at
extremely high or low speeds within a manageable time
scale.

Formation of a modern information technology
environment in education:

1.Implementation of the capabilities of software tools
for educational purposes as an instructional tool, an
object of study, and a means of information processing.

2. Integration of the capabilities of educational and
demonstration tools with computer tools in the
creation of educational and methodological complexes.
The utilization of such complexes assists the student in
accumulating and storing information about the
process being studied, and in revealing the underlying
principles of these processes. The use of educational
and demonstration complexes based on modern
technologies establishes the foundation for organizing
both individual and collective experimental activities.
This enables the student to develop their intellectual
and creative potential and acquire independent
knowledge.

3. Integration of the capabilities of computers and
audio-visual information transmission tools in the
creation of multimedia systems. These systems,
incorporating a combination of software and hardware
tools and devices, merge various forms of information
(text, graphics, sound, image) and facilitate interactive
communication with the user. The application of
multimedia systems ensures the adoption of active
learning methods and forms, thereby enhancing the
level of information absorption.

1. Utilizing the capabilities of artificial intelligence
systems to develop intelligent learning systems. Such
learning systems establish the foundation for
organizing the process of independent learning,

autonomous assimilation of knowledge, and the
advancement of the intellectualization of educational
activities. All of this accelerates the development of the
student's personality.

2. Employing telecommunications tools that facilitate
information exchange through global and local
computer networks.

3. A novel technology for information exchange is a
real-time stereoscopic vision system, commonly
referred to as "Virtual Reality."

The analysis of the integration of modern information
technologies into the educational system is based on
their:

• enabling the student to acquire practical knowledge;

• facilitating in

-depth mastery of the field of science

through the modeling of the phenomena and processes
under study;

• expanding the scope of the student's independent

activity through the diversification of educational
activity organization;

• individualizing and differentiating the learning

process through the implementation of interactive
communication capabilities;

• leveraging the capabilities of the artificial intelligence

system to assist students in mastering the strategy of
learning materials;

• fostering an information culture within every

member of society;

• emphasizing the significance of present

ing the

phenomena and processes being studied through
computer technology as a means of enhancing student
interest and engagement.

The process of informatization in education and the
utilization of modern information technologies results
not only in a transformation of organizational forms
and methods of teaching, but also in the development
of new approaches within it. The informatization of
scientific fields, the enhancement of educational
activities, the integration of the knowledge process
based on modern information technologies, and the
expansion and deepening of scientific disciplines and
their integration are central components. This, in turn,
necessitates alterations in the criteria for selecting the
content of educational materials. Therefore, the
advancement of the informatization process in
education brings about changes in the content and
scope of educational materials, the redevelopment of
curricula for educational subjects (courses), and the
integration of individual topics or subjects. This
subsequently leads to changes in the content and
structure of academic subjects, and, as a result, to

changes in the content and structure of education
itself.

At present, educational institutions are being equipped
with modern computer and telecommunication
technologies. This, in turn, requires educators to adopt
new approaches to their work. The introduction of new
technologies into the educational process does not
result in the replacement of the teacher by technical
means, but rather in a transformation of their tasks and
role, as well as in the increased complexity of teaching
activities.

The second direction of computer-based education is
the utilization of computers as objects of learning. The
employment of computers as a teaching tool in the
educational process necessitates a reassessment of
many theoretical foundations of didactics and
pedagogical psychology. Specifically, expert systems
have the potential to guide the student toward the
correct solution to a problem of any complexity, while
hypertext teaching systems enable the student to
determine the sequence for mastering educational
materials.

It is important to note that computer-assisted teaching
does not result in a spontaneous resolution of all issues
within the teaching process. A computer cannot
replace the teacher in the educational process; in other
words, new information technologies cannot fully
replace traditional methods. Didactic materials created
in a text editor expand the possibilities of the
educational process, thereby making it more effective
and diverse, and enhancing student engagement in
learning. Through the use of modern computer
technologies, it is possible to create didactic materials
tailored to the level of the student audience's
preparation.

For

high-achieving

students,

opportunities are provided to design more complex
tasks or administer challenging tests. When preparing
didactic materials, a teacher must remember that these
materials are intended to fulfill their professional
responsibilities.

The teacher initially instructs students on how to
complete spreadsheet templates, allowing them to
input the results of laboratory work into tables and
process this data. In essence, through these seemingly
simple calculations, students acquire the ability to
utilize computer technology as an efficient tool.
Furthermore, a notable advantage of spreadsheets is
the ability to ensure that formulas perform calculations
accurately as indicators change. This functionality
enables the modeling of relatively simple physical
processes. The use of electronic presentations as
demonstration material in lessons greatly assists the
teacher. Presenting educational content in the form of

animations within an electronic presentation aids in the
comprehension of the topic being discussed and
enhances its visual appeal. Demonstration slides can
also be distributed to students as handouts.

CONCLUSION

From the reviewed literature, it became evident that
interactive resources are informational elements that
enable the user to engage in a mode of interaction and
communication. Interactive electronic educational
resources

encompass

interactive

electronic

educational resources, as "interactivity" is an essential
didactic characteristic of electronic educational
resources.

Interactive

electronic

information

educational resources do not constitute a new, distinct
category of educational resources, but rather serve as
a tool that reflects the particular characteristics of
educational resources. When teaching the Uzbek
language as both a native and state language, it is
crucial to consider the types of interactive electronic
information educational resources according to their
classification and to utilize active, functional, and
research-based types as much as possible. This is also
corroborated by the experience accumulated in the
field of language instruction worldwide.
