The development of the professional competence of a teacher in the modern
educational process is one of the important tasks. The rational use of information
technologies serves not only the teacher's work on himself, but also the high-quality
organization of the educational process. That is why, it is necessary to establish a systematic
approach to improving the ICT literacy of primary education teachers. The development of
the professional competence of primary education teachers using information technologies is
much more effective than traditional approaches. At the same time, the development of
adapted ICT training programs for teachers, increasing their technological, methodological
and reflective abilities allows us to improve the quality of education dramatically.
