Development of Information Culture of Future Teachers in the Conditions of Digitalization of Education

In today's dynamically developing and globalized world, digital technologies are rapidly penetrating into various spheres of human life, and the economy, production, and even the educational space are changing at an unprecedented speed. Digital technologies have had a significant impact on the material and technical equipment of schools, universities, educational programs, forms and methods of teaching. Currently, teachers use digital tools and pedagogical software in their educational programs to individualize the educational space. They use digital technologies when preparing and conducting lessons to improve interaction between all participants in the educational process. Generating, processing and transmitting information is not feasible today without the means of new information technologies. However, each person must have a certain level of culture for handling information, because in the virtual world, the individual's own culture remains almost the only mechanism for regulating human behavior. Information culture is becoming one of the most important components of culture. In this regard, the formation and development of a modern education system is impossible without a high information culture, because education is one of the main forms of translation of cultural values of society. The article considers approaches to solving the problem of developing information culture of future teachers of preschool and primary education.
