Methods of using immersive training technologies in universities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations

the modern educational space is characterized by the rapid introduction of digital technologies into the traditional academic environment. Along with the use of special software for the implementation of distance courses, digital knowledge monitoring systems, etc., the conditions and opportunities for integrating virtual reality technologies into the educational process that form a special simulation space in which the practical development of professionally significant skills and abilities takes place are actively discussed. In modern scientific pedagogical literature, such an innovation is called "immersive technologies" (from the English word immersive - immerse). As you know, the training of the EMERCOM personnel is a situation of increased risk, since the development of professional skills in real emergencies poses a threat to the health and life of students. On the other hand, the formal development of rescue schemes in the absence of extreme factors does not provide proper training for the future specialist. The solution to this problem, from the point of view of the author, could be the use of immersive platforms that create opportunities for high-quality training without a security threat. This article discusses possible ways to use immersive technologies in higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Emergencies. At the same time, along with the advantages, the risks of using these technologies are also indicated, which must be taken into account when organizing the educational process. The author comes to the conclusion that the introduction of immersive technologies into the educational space of universities of the Ministry of Emergencies is still promising with a competent pedagogical approach to training.
