Interest in the development and application of computer training devices - simulators (virtual simulators) in various areas of professional training of specialists involved in human-machine interfaces is due to the specifics of professional activities in modern society that include many risks, redundancy of information, unpredictable professional situations, complexity of professional tasks, the necessity to cope with stress, uncertainty, etc. The article examines the principles of operation and practical application of computer simulators (CS) - training simulators, which are imitation (reproduction) of real objects in a virtual environment, with the help of which various skills are acquired. Digital technologies, which are rapidly changing the face of the modern industrial and social environment, are mostly used in various training simulators and process simulators in industrial companies and educational institutions. One of the important factors determining the rapid spread of computer simulators is an extensive application of multimedia technologies, which have made training complexes more accessible. Another important prerequisite for the massive dissemination of these systems is the rethinking of the pedagogical possibilities that simulators provide in comparison with traditional forms of vocational training. By now there have arisen conditions for a more effective and widespread use of simulators in vocational training, due to which training based on the application of simulators increasingly precedes real practice in professional spheres. In pedagogical education the development and use of simulators began much later than in many other branches of industry and science. The article discusses the successful experience of creating and using an original Russian-French digital simulator of pedagogical activity at the Naberezhnye Chelny State Pedagogical University. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
