Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are important for teachers because it needs to be effectively integrated ICT into the formal classroom teaching and learning conditions, so integration of ICT in teacher education is of great significance. The aim of the study was to compare the use and impact of the use of ICT on the study process of full-time (FT) and part-time (PT) pedagogical specialities students. The electronic survey of the 1st course pedagogical specialities FT and PT students from the University of Latvia was carried out. Altogether 118 students were questioned. The results of the research showed that the majority of surveyed pedagogical specialities students use ICT for study purposes 1-2 or 2-4 h during day. Different FT students use ICT more differently in comparison with PT students. FT students more often than PT students use ICT for different activities connected with study process but PT students in comparison with FT students more often use ICT for searching information to do home works. The majority of surveyed students evaluate their knowledge and skills in the using of ICT as good. The majority of students agree or rather agree that the use of ICT gives positive impact on different stages of the study process. The use of ICT helps better involvement in the study process, makes students more independent during study process, gives them possibilities to get more new information and better communicate during study process, the use of ICT makes studies more exciting and gives positive impact on the acquisition of the study content. More FT students (67 %) in comparison with PT students (31 %) agree that the use of ICT gives ability for better understanding of different processes and more FT students (45 %) in comparison with PT students (8 %) fully evaluate positive impact of the use of ICT on the acquisition of the study content. Students agree or rather agree to the negative impact of the use of ICT on the lifestyle. The results of the research suggest that the majority of pedagogical specialities students understand the necessity of acquiring ICT during study process.
