Information and Digital Culture of a Music Teacher: Terminological Analysis

In the context of the modernization of modern education, a new view of the music teacher's activity is gradually being formed: it is multifunctional, has its own specific features due to the purpose of education, the specifics of the educational process at school, the age characteristics of the audience and the fact that the music teacher simultaneously acts in several roles: as a teacher, as an educator, as a musician. A special type of culture is being formed in it: information and digital culture, which today is little studied and needs terminological analysis. Based on the terminological analysis, we clarified the concept of "information and digital culture of a music teacher" as a holistic quality of his personality, which is based on a critical look at information processes and the possibilities of using digital technologies in music and music teaching, and combines knowledge and skills to work with information and digital technologies within the framework of professional activity and for their own self-development. The concept of "information and digital culture of a music teacher" is considered by us in the unity of three components: the knowledge component is characterized by a set of knowledge that is provided in the process of professional training and which is associated with information and digital technologies of various types and different directions; activity component - the ability to use digital technologies to solve creative problems and the ability to organize a digital creative educational environment; The personal component is a set of personal qualities, values, motivations and professional attitudes that form the individual identity of the teacher and affect his professional activity regarding the use of information technology and digital tools in teaching music. The selected components are formed and developed unevenly and depend on the organization and content of professional training, which can be based on digital technologies and include appropriate educational components for mastering information technologies and tools of various directions.
