Аннотация
Vocational education is increasingly relevant due to its ability to quickly train qualified specialists within just
three years of schooling. The educational process needs a renewal in teaching-learning-assesment using new technologies, as a request to the labor market. This study proposes an experimental approach based on modal hypertext,
a cross-curricular digital tool designed to develop students’ reading, digital, and professional competencies. The
research highlights the necessity of integrating ICT tools and multimodal texts into vocational education to stimulate
student engagement, facilitate interdisciplinary learning, and bridge urban-rural educational gaps. Statistical analyses
confirm modal hypertext significantly improves students’ overall competencies, reduces absenteeism, and supports
teachers’ digital proficiency.
Keywords: vocational education, reading competence, professional competence, digital competence, modal
hypertext.
