Interpretations of the concept of pedagogical technology
The word "technology" comes from the Greek words techne - art, craftsmanship and logos - teaching. Therefore, the term "pedagogical technology" in literal translation means the doctrine of pedagogical art, skill.
The concept of "pedagogical technology" is most often interpreted as follows:

1. 
   Pedagogical technology means a system set and the order of functioning of all personal, instrumental and methodological means used to achieve pedagogical goals.
   
2. 
   Pedagogical technology is a model thought out in all details joint pedagogical activity in designing, organizing and conducting the educational process with the unconditional provision of comfortable conditions for students and teachers.
   
3. 
   Pedagogical technology - a set of psychological and pedagogical attitudes that determine a special set and layout of forms, methods, methods, teaching methods, educational means; it is an organizational and methodological toolkit of the pedagogical process.
   
4. 
   Pedagogical technology is a systematic method of creating, applying and defining the entire process of teaching and learning knowledge, taking into account technical and human resources and their interaction, which aims to optimize the forms of education (UNESCO)
   
5. 
   "Pedagogical technology" is a meaningful technique for the implementation of the educational process.
   
6. 
   "Pedagogical technology" is a description of the process of achieving the planned learning outcomes
   

The structure of pedagogical technology:
The structure of pedagogical technology contains three main interrelated components:
1. Scientific: technology is a scientifically designed solution to a specific problem, based on the achievements of pedagogical theory and best practice;
2. Formalized descriptive (descriptive): the technology is represented as a model, a description of the goals, content, methods and means, algorithms of actions used to achieve the planned results;
3. Procedural and activity : technology appears as the very process of implementing the activities of objects and subjects, their goal setting, planning, organization, implementation of goals and analysis of results.
Thus, pedagogical technology functions both as a science that explores and designs the most rational ways of learning, and as a system of algorithms, and as a real process of learning and education. It can be represented either by the whole complex of its aspects, or by a scientific development (project, concept), or by a description of an algorithm (program) of actions, or by a process actually implemented in practice.
