Abstract: In the context of globalization and rapid advancement in information and communication technologies (ICT), ICT competence is crucial in professional training, including education. This study focuses on integrating ICT into the educational processes of future science teachers to enhance their ICT competence. The objective is to evaluate ICT's efficacy in laboratory work within natural sciences for developing ICT competence among prospective teachers. The research methodology involved an experimental study at Zhetysu University with students in pedagogical physics, biology, and chemistry programs. Participants were divided into two groups: one followed a traditional pedagogical approach, and the other incorporated ICT into their lab work. Initial and final surveys measured the students' ICT competence levels. The study's findings showed a significant improvement in ICT competence among students who used ICT in their studies, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating modern technologies into education. The paper recommends that educational institutions incorporate ICT into their curricula and suggests directions for further research in this field.
