The article substantiates the potential of digital technologies as an effective tool for teachers’ professional development within the framework of in-service training. It has been established that the use of digital technologies contributes to the development of teachers’ digital, communicative, and reflective competencies. The study emphasizes that digital technologies facilitate the modeling of professional activity situations and support the formation of teachers’ professional identity. To achieve this goal, modern technologies used in the system of teachers’ professional development are summarized, namely: digital educational technologies, adaptive technologies, information and communication technologies (ICT), cloud technologies, and artificial intelligence technologies. The impact of educational digitalization on the effectiveness of teachers’ professional development is analyzed. The experience of the Institute of Postgraduate Education of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University is described, where faculty members have developed and implemented original training courses for teachers, particularly for teachers of science, mathematics, and technology education with different levels of digital competence. It is concluded that the integration of digital technologies into the system of in-service teacher training enhances the quality of professional learning, particularly through increased interactivity, flexibility, and personalization of learning, as well as the development of digital competence and teachers’ readiness to work in a modern digital educational environment. A number of substantiated recommendations at the state level and at the level of professional educational communities are presented, aimed at improving the effectiveness of teachers’ professional development within the system of in-service training.
