Abstract. The simulation learning model is an innovative approach that allows you to recreate real situations and processes in a safe learning environment. The article examines the essence of simulation learning, its classification by type of environment and subject area. Special attention is paid to the advantages of the simulation approach: practical orientation, safety, individuality, repeatability and high motivation of students. Examples of successful application of simulation models in various fields are given: from surgical simulators in medicine and flight simulators in aviation to cyber training grounds for information security specialists. The basic definitions are given and the terminological apparatus in the field of simulation training is revealed. The central place in the work is occupied by the description of a pedagogical experiment, the purpose of which was to compare the effectiveness of classical and simulation models of teaching students in the specialty “information security”. As part of the study, it was found that students who were trained using simulation training (phishing attacks, DDoS reflection, incident response) demonstrated a significantly higher level of practical competencies. They were more successful at recognizing threats, creating strong passwords, and organizing team network protection. In addition, the experimental group showed great initiative, independence and creativity in solving non-standard tasks. The prospects for the development of simulation technologies are highlighted separately: the introduction of virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence to generate realistic scenarios, scaling through cloud technologies and integration into national educational standards. The article concludes that the simulation model of education is an effective tool for training highly qualified specialists, capable of transforming the educational process and preparing a new generation of professionals ready for the real challenges of the 21st century.

Keywords: simulation model, training, cybersecurity, teaching methods, simulation, simulation technologies.
