Background. Modern translation training requires innovative approaches that integrate digital technologies and resource-based learning methods. While Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools are increasingly prevalent in professional translation practice, their systematic integration into translator training programs remains challenging.
Purpose. This study investigates the effectiveness of implementing resource-based learning (RBL) in translator training programs, examining how digital resources and mobile learning technologies impact the development of translation competencies.
Materials and Methods. Study Design: Experimental research with control and experimental groups. Setting: National University "Yury Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic". Period: 2023-2024 academic year. Participants: 493 translation students. Experimental group (n=240). Control group (n=253). Implementation. E-learning platform with translation resources. Mobile translation applications. Professional terminology databases. Integrated CAT tools. Assessment. Educational effectiveness measured using Todorova's methodology.
Results. The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements. Very high performance levels increased by 6.25%. High performance levels increased by 4.59%. Average performance improved by 9.17%. Low performance decreased by 12.51%. Very low performance was eliminated. Additional improvements included. 45% increase in CAT tools efficiency, 31% improvement in translation consistency, 28% reduction in translation errors.
