INFORMATION COMPETENCE OF THE FUTURE TEACHER: ESSENCE AND STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

The article deals with the development of information competencies in future teachers. The substantiation of the relevance of this problem, a description of the principles and goals that should underlie the process of developing information competencies in future teachers is presented. A computer is just a tool, the use of which should organically fit into the system of education and upbringing, contribute to the achievement of the goals and objectives of the lesson or extracurricular activities. The computer does not replace the teacher or the textbook, but radically changes the nature of pedagogical activity. The main methodological problem of teaching is shifting from “how best to tell the material” to “how best to show”. Assimilation of knowledge related to a large amount of digital and other specific information through active dialogue with a personal computer is more effective and interesting for the student than studying the boring pages of a textbook. With the help of training programs, a student can simulate real processes, which means he can see causes and effects, understand their meaning. The computer allows you to eliminate one of the most important reasons for a negative attitude to learning - failure due to a lack of understanding of the essence of the problem, significant gaps in knowledge.
