The introduction of information and communication technologies constitutes one of the conditions for higher education development as well as a catalyst for enhancing ICT competences of all those involved in the educational process in order to form their 21st century skills. The article presents experience in the implementation of flipped learning in Ukraine and Poland. It also describes scenarios and collaboration tools for students’ practical activity, provides examples of learning objects representing resources for independent study and research, and criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the proposed model.

The basic notional category and the leading motif of the presented study is social experience of candidates for teachers. The reflection is grounded on the social psychology of development in the context of the reality experienced by the individual, the meanings applied to experiences (Tyszkowa, Przetacznikowa, Brzezińska), and in the perspective of intercultural education (Lewowicki, Nikitorowicz). In the undertaken discussion, the author refers to the results of extensive multivariate research conducted in 2011–2012 in several academic environments which differ in location (the centre – the borderland) and in socio-economic potential. This constitutes the background against which the determinants are indicated of preparing future teachers for work in multicultural conditions.
