Abstract:

The training of future teachers in Computer Science and Physics in the conditions of absentee learning in schools is a challenge for university professors. This is due to the fact that in their education students must acquire competencies defined by the European Framework for Digital Competence of Educators.

These competencies are necessary for future teachers to be able to perform their professional duties in traditional classrooms and in training in an electronic environment caused by the pandemic situation. Students have developed competencies to work with platforms for synchronous e-learning and to create e-learning objects from their computer science training. This is a sufficient condition for them to be able to teach Computer Science in the conditions of absentee learning. However, the specifics of online teaching of Physics content is another challenge. It requires the use of natural visuals, the demonstration of physical phenomena, the formation of research skills and the proof of physical laws.

A combination of approaches is sought to solve this challenge with the following methodology:
- Those pedagogical components of the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators are identified that future teachers need to be able to create and to use digital resources at B2 expert level;
- The capabilities of Office 365 applications - Teams, OneDrive, Forms and Sway for synchronous e-learning in Physics are commented;
- The need for other digital tools for online education in Physics is taken into account. They must be built into the Sway application of Office 365 to ensure the implementation of visualization and simulation researches of physical phenomena and processes. As such tools we consider virtual laboratories and augmented reality. Their use increases the interactivity of electronic Physics lessons.

In conclusion, we comment on the formed competencies of the future teachers in Computer Science and Physics at the university and their compliance with these competencies regulated by European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators at B2 level.
