The relevance of the study is due to the need to introduce activity-type technologies in the educational practice of training specialists. Interactive learning technologies contribute to the formation of professional knowledge and skills through professional experience. Modern didactics substantiated the developing potential of practice-oriented educational technologies, which make it possible to organize the process of forming the necessary professional and universal competences most successfully, taking into account the specifics of the future profession. This allows to bridge the gap between the theorized knowledge of classical universities graduates and the necessary specific skills of specialists. The most successful practice-oriented technologies are imitating (gaming and non-gaming) learning technologies. The aim of the work is to study the developing potential of simulation technologies (using the foresight session as an example) in preparing teachers for activities in risk, determining the conditions for successful application of simulation technologies in the information educational environment of the university, and describing the methodology of using the foresight technology in the university's educational process. While conducting the study, the authors used such methods as comparative analysis and pedagogical modeling. As a result of the study, we made an analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature on the organization of practice-oriented learning, the use of interactive simulation technologies in the educational process of the university, and a model for the implementation of a foresight session on preparing teachers to deal with risks. The proposed model of a foresight session on preparing teachers to deal with risks is being implemented on the basis of the Institute of Psychology and Education of Kazan Federal University (KFU) as a part of the information and educational project "Safe educational environment". The foresight session technology allows students to gain experience in dealing with risk situations in simulated and controlled university environment.
