Проаналізовано курс «Сучасні Інформаційно-комунікаційні технології» щодо забезпечення організаційно-педагогічних умов формування інформатичних компетентностей майбутніх учителів початкових класів.The modern period of civilization is characterized by transition from the industrial society to the informational one. Informatization, in its turn, is an objective and logical stage through which every intensive society passes. Informatization is a global process of the present, associated with radical changes in the structure and nature of world and social development, with transition to new generations of high-tech technologies, technical systems, materials, as well as new types of information exchange, which allow a decisive change in a person’s nature of labor and living conditions. Informatization is a necessary condition and an important direction for the development of the educational system in Ukraine. Unlike the traditional educational model, that was based on the priority of simple assimilation and reproduction of information, the main goal of training today is to ensure access to information (the global distributed knowledge base) and the ability to use it. The main focus is on development of an individual’s creative abilities, development of the ability of creative thinking, formation of information competence and consolidation in a future specialist’s professional consciousness, search of innovations, analysis of problems and options of activity, transformation of knowledge into the potential of thinking and self-development. In the conditions of informatization of education the requirements to the level of formation of teachers’ informative competencies have increased. Particularly acute this problem is for the category of primary school teachers as specialists capable of laying the foundations for their pupils to succeed at the following levels of education. The modern primary school teacher must have not only basic knowledge and skills of working with computer, but also be mobile in the development and implementation of the latest information technologies, be able to operate computer facilities, create didactic-and-methodological materials, use ICT effectively in the initial educational process at school. Consequently, the important task of higher pedagogical education is training of highly skilled professionals, competitive in the labor market, who will have formed informative competencies and carry out professional activities qualitatively
