Information approach in education and its use in the training of computer science teachers to form students' digital safety skills

The article discusses the problem of using the information approach in education to train computer science teachers to form students' digital security skills. An analysis of pedagogical strategies for using IT to improve the quality of teaching computer science to students and applying an information approach to training computer science teachers to form students' digital safety skills is presented. Based on the analysis (terminological analysis, content analysis, comparative analysis) and generalization of scientific results on the use of the information approach in vocational education in general and in the training of computer science teachers to form students' digital security skills, in particular; Several tasks have been studied: the information approach in education has been characterized; clarified how the information approach affects teaching methods and integrates digital tools into education; it is revealed how the information approach makes it possible to form digital security skills; the risks of implementing the information approach are assessed; the role of computer science teachers in the formation of knowledge about digital security is defined; Case studies and best practices for the formation of students' digital security skills have been identified. It is substantiated that the current challenges are related to the rapid evolution of cyber threats, different access to technologies and resources, and the need for continuous professional development of teachers, and they require constant attention and innovative solutions. Therefore, future computer science teachers need appropriate methodological skills and IT knowledge to implement active learning strategies and integrate digital tools into the computer science teaching process. Proactive and anticipatory training and continuous professional development of computer science teachers will be essential to develop students' knowledge and skills in digital security.
