Abstract

The article examines the main trends in the use of educational videos in educational institutions of Ukraine, emphasizing the significant influence of video materials on the formation of key competencies and program learning outcomes in educational programs of all levels - from primary to higher education. The article discusses the main trends in the use of educational videos in Ukrainian educational institutions, emphasizing the significant impact of video materials on the formation of key competencies and programmatic learning outcomes in educational programs at all levels - from primary to higher education. The work is based on the study and generalization of approaches to the design and creation of educational videos for training specialists at a technical university, in particular in the context of distance learning and limited practical training. A review of scientific publications was carried out, existing approaches to video content creation were analyzed, elements of R. Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning were used, as well as the author's own experience in preparing educational videos in production conditions. A practical algorithm for video creation is proposed, considering the specifics of the production environment and educational goals. An educational video based on filming in the steelmaking shops of Nikopol enterprises was developed and implemented. The effectiveness of such a video for the formation of professional competencies in higher education students majoring in Metallurgy, especially in the context of distance learning and the impossibility of internships, is proved. The importance of adapting video materials to the technical capabilities of users (smartphones, Android OS, etc.) is emphasized. For the first time, an approach to creating educational video content based on video filming in real production conditions with detailed script and methodological support is proposed, adapted to the realities of Ukrainian technical universities. The developed video materials can be used to form the key professional competencies of students, as well as serve as an example for creating similar content in other technical educational programs. The proposed algorithm promotes close cooperation between higher education institutions and industry, and can also be used in career guidance.
