THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASES FOR THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF A PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER TO TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE

Abstract

The rapid growth of information and communication technologies makes the qualitative update of the demands towards the informatization of education on all of its levels relevant. The examination of the philosophical aspects of the development of computer science enables one to understand the continuity and prospective viability of the processes that take place in the society and education. The introduction of computer science to the curriculums influenced the social demand for a primary school teacher capable not only of using the means of information technologies, but also of teaching computer science as an independent primary school discipline. The article gives reasons for the necessity to develop the corresponding methodological system of training the future primary school teacher, its functions and components. We see the expected result as the formation of methodological and informatics competence of the teacher.
