Summary/Abstract: Undoubtedly, the quality of university training of future teachers for the effective use of digital technologies in education is one of the key issues at the international and national level. Public expectations for graduating teachers are to possess the necessary skills and competencies to use the potential of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) in order to improve the quality of education in secondary schools and to develop students' digital literacy. In order to adequately prepare teachers for work in the classrooms of tomorrow, higher education institutions for teacher training must develop programs that integrate digital technologies into the learning process, using authentic and pedagogically appropriate approaches. This study is dedicated to investigating the practices of using information and communication technologies in the training of student teachers from the oldest higher education institution in Bulgaria preparing future teachers – Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. A qualitative study was conducted using the method of direct observation of the practice of 62 teachers. Recommendations are offered to support the broader and more diverse use of digital technologies in the preparation of student teachers.
