FEATURES OF THE CONCEPT OF INFORMATION COMPETENCE IN THE PREPARATION OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

In the last decade, in the formation of educational standards and teaching methods, great emphasis has been placed on the concept of “competence” of students and graduates. This term is interpreted differently by researchers and has multiple definitions depending on the context. In part, it is this ambiguity that leads to non-perception, rejection on the part of participants in the educational process, and insufficient attention to formation within the educational process.

Thus, having studied and analyzed theoretical approaches to considering the essence and structure of information competence, we can propose the following definition of information competence. Information competencies are the ability to perform operations with information (search, analysis, selection, transformation, storage, protection and transmission) within the framework of professional activities, including using modern information technologies.
