Abstract

The article points out that currently in Ukraine the increasing attention is directed to the definition of ICT, providing the maximum consideration of individual peculiarities of education applicants. The approaches to the definition of left-handed education applicant (left hand is the leading one) and the notion of ambidextrous (the ability of a person to use both hands equally) are identified. In order to determine the readiness of future teachers to work with left-handed education applicants, a survey of second- and third-year students at Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University was conducted. It was determined that the vast majority (over 80%) among them have limited understanding of the peculiarities of teaching left-handed people. It is proved that there is an urgent need for specialists with appropriate theoretical and practical training, who are capable of effectively teaching left-handed pupils in accordance with their individual-psychological features. The level of empathy found in future educators indicates a positive psychological state of the vast majority of students, which will enable them to form inclusive competence more effectively. It is determined that the "mirror reflection method" is scientifically and methodologically justified to work with left-handed education applicants. In order to prepare future educators to work with left-handed education applicants, online software for mirroring photo and video materials has been identified.
