Object: the process of professional training of teachers of vocational education in pedagogical institutions of higher education; purpose: to theoretically substantiate and experimentally test the effectiveness of the model of the system of forming the readiness of future teachers of vocational training in the field of transport to use ICT in professional activities, as well as organizational and pedagogical conditions for its effective implementation and development; methods: theoretical: analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, systematization - to study the scientific and theoretical provisions and practical experience of forming the readiness of future engineers-teachers in the field of transport to use ICT in professional activities; abstraction, modeling, reflection of own scientific and pedagogical activity - for substantiation and development of model of system of formation of readiness of future engineers-teachers in the field of transport to application of ICT in professional activity and definition of organizational and pedagogical conditions of its effective functioning; empirical: questionnaires of participants in the educational process, interviews, observation of teachers and students in the process of computer-based learning of professional disciplines, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment - to identify features of the implementation of vocational training of future engineers-teachers in transport, identifying their level readiness to use ICT in professional activities; mathematical and statistical methods of data processing - for quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results of scientific and pedagogical experiment, establishing their objectivity and reliability; The scientific novelty obtained during the study lies in the fact that the model of the system of formation of readiness of future teachers of vocational training in the field of transport to use ICT in professional activities has been designed for the first time. The effectiveness of organizational and pedagogical conditions for the formation of readiness of future teachers of vocational training in the field of transport to use ICT in professional activities was theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed (actualization of the subjective position of students in the formation of readiness for ICT, formation of readiness for the use of ICT in future professional activities, periodic updating of the content of vocational information of training of students, stimulation of independent educational and cognitive activities of students related to the use of ICT). The didactic analysis of specialized and pedagogical software products for preparation of teaching engineers in the field of transport was carried out and the author's electronic educational and methodical complex on discipline "Car design" was created. The сriteria and indicators for identifying the levels of readiness of students for the use of ICT in future professional activities such as low (reproductive), medium (interpretive), sufficient (transformative) and high (creative and exploratory) were clarified.The conceptual and categorical apparatus of the study namely the concept of "readiness” as a stable structural and functional system of integration qualities, which is associated with motivational, meaningful, operational, emotional, volitional and reflexive spheres of personality and provides effective implementation of basic professional pedagogical functions and tasks for training skilled workers in professional education were identified. Further development of forms and methods of training future teachers of special disciplines in the field of transport, based on the use of technical and didactic capabilities of modern ICT, was received.
