Abstract:
In the context of the rapid development of digital technologies and the transition to an information
society, the requirements for the professional activities of higher education teachers are increasing. One of the
most important areas of modernization of the educational process is the development of information and
communication competence of the teaching staff. The article examines the essence, structure and components
of information and communication competence, and analyzes modern digital tools and technologies that
contribute to its formation and development. The results of the analysis of current approaches to teaching and
self-development of teachers in the context of digitalization of education are presented.
Keywords:
Information and communication competence; digitalization of education; higher education teachers;
ICT competence; digital technologies; professional development; e-learning.
Introduction:
Modern education is unthinkable
without the active use of digital technologies and
communication tools. The transition to a digital
educational environment requires teachers not only to
have subject knowledge, but also a high level of
information and communication competence (IC
competence). This concept combines the ability to
effectively use information and communication
technologies (ICT) to organize training, interact with
students, conduct scientific research and improve their
own qualifications. In this regard, the study of the
components and means that contribute to the
development of ICT competence of the teaching staff is
of particular relevance. The need for continuous
improvement of pedagogical practices, participation in
online platforms, creation and use of digital content
require an integrated approach to the formation of this
competence. This article is aimed at identifying the key
elements of ICT competence and analyzing the
conditions for its successful development in the higher
education system [1, 2].
METHODS
The requirements of modern society set the task of
improving
the
quality
of
graduates,
whose
professionalism is now determined not only by the
amount of knowledge, but also by the ability to manage
information flows, retaining the most important things
in memory. as well as the ability to find missing
information.
In
addition,
professionalism
is
characterized by the experience of applying the
acquired knowledge and skills both according to the
model and in a new, non-standard situation. This
implies both the personal development of a specialist
and the formation of such qualities as the ability to
negotiate with colleagues or communicate with others.
All this indicates the need to master the basic
competencies and, as a result, information and
communicative competencies.
According to Klimenko E.I. [3]
–
“Information and
communicative competence is a professionally
significant integrative personality quality that
characterizes the ability to independently search,
select, analyze and present the necessary information;
model and design objects and processes, implement
projects in individual and group work” [4]. In other
words, information and communication competence
combines communication, working with information,
fulfilling a social role, being tolerant of a
communication partner, the ability to create an optimal
communication space, combining IT knowledge and
personal qualities into a more general competence [5].
The ability to navigate in the space of Internet
information resources, the ability to jointly organize
internal and external information resources, master

new sign systems, etc. That is, it is considered an
integral component of the professional qualifications of
a specialist and means his ability to satisfy information
needs in the professional field and the ability to
transmit information processed in the communication
process [6].
RESULTS
During the research process, an algorithm for
improving (developing) teachers' information and
communicative competence was developed, and tools
for developing ICT, as well as components for their
development, were researched and selected.
Figure 1. Tools and components for developing a model that develops ICC
The following tools were selected and used to develop
the ICT skills of university students and teachers:
1. Training courses: include a systematic study of the
theoretical foundations and practical skills of working
with ICT. Training courses are a systematic process of
transferring knowledge and skills from an experienced
teacher or specialist to a student. They can be both
face-to-face and online and cover almost any field of
knowledge.
2. Trainings and master classes (master classes): are
methods of actively developing new tools and
technologies in an interactive format. These are
dynamic and interactive educational formats aimed at
acquiring practical skills and developing specific
competencies. They differ from traditional lectures in
that they are more involved in the involvement of
participants and are aimed at the practical
development of the knowledge gained.
3. Project activities: activities that require the use of
ICT. This is a special type of activity aimed at achieving
a specific goal by creating a unique product or service.
It is a comprehensive approach that includes task
definition, planning, implementation and evaluation of
results.
4. Online courses and webinars: the opportunity to
learn independently at a convenient time. Online
courses and webinars have become an integral part of
modern education and professional development. They
offer a flexible and affordable way to acquire new
knowledge and skills without leaving home.
5. Creation of electronic educational resources:
development of educational materials, interactive
tasks and tests. This is a digital form of educational
materials, which is characterized by making the
learning process more interactive, convenient and
effective. They can represent a wide range of materials,
from text documents to multimedia presentations and
interactive simulations.
6. Use of corporate learning platforms: providing access
to educational materials and collaboration tools. These
are special software systems designed to organize and
manage the training processes of faculty and staff. They
provide a wide range of tools for creating, distributing
and tracking learning materials.

7. Creating communities of practice: An interactive way
to share experiences and support colleagues. These are
groups of people with common interests, experiences
and goals who interact regularly to share knowledge,
solve problems and grow together. These communities
are playing an increasingly important role in today's
world in facilitating innovation, improving efficiency
and strengthening professional networks.
However, there are still insufficient resources and
components for the development of information and
communicative competence, and the effectiveness of
those that exist is low [7-10]. Therefore, we have
studied and analyzed a number of components that
require development and improvement, and identified
the main ones. Components of ICT that require
development:
Table-1
Name of components
Explanation
Information literacy
The ability to search for, evaluate and use information
from various sources
Communication skills
The ability to communicate effectively with others using
ICT.
Technical skills
Software and hardware
Creativity
and
innovation
The ability to generate new ideas and find innovative
solutions
Critical thinking
The ability to analyze information and make informed
decisions
• Information literacy: This ability is a set of skills tha
t
allow you to effectively search for, evaluate, use and
create information. In the modern information-rich
world, these skills are becoming increasingly important
for personal development and professional activity.
• Communication skills: Communication sk
ills are a set
of skills that allow you to effectively transmit and
receive information, interact with others and establish
effective relationships. They play an important role in
our everyday lives, in the professional sphere and in our
personal relationships.
• Technical skills: This is a set of knowledge and skills
related to the use of various technologies and tools. In
today's world, where technology is penetrating all
aspects of life, the demand for technical skills is
increasing.
• Creativity and inn
ovation: Creativity and innovation
are two interrelated concepts that form the basis of the
development of society and business. They allow us to
create new ideas, products and services, solve complex
problems and adapt to changing conditions.
• Critical t
hinking: This is a cognitive process that
involves analyzing information, evaluating arguments,
identifying logical fallacies and making informed
decisions. It is not just the ability to reflect, but an
active and purposeful process of understanding,
evaluating and interpreting information.
Modern educational programs include the active use of
digital tools, platforms and resources in the learning
process. Nowadays, many higher education institutions
offer specialized courses in programming, web
development, cybersecurity and other related ICT
fields. In this, courses play an important role in
developing the information and communication
competence of students and teachers. They act not
only as places to acquire theoretical knowledge, but
also as platforms for applying the acquired skills in
practice.
CONCLUSION
The development of information and communication
competence of higher education teachers is an integral
condition for the effective functioning of the modern
educational process. The study showed that the
formation of this competence requires a systematic
approach, including the use of modern digital
platforms, increasing digital literacy, as well as
motivation for continuous learning. The introduction of
innovative educational technologies and ICT tools

allows not only to improve the quality of teaching, but
also to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of the
digital environment. Further research in this area
should be aimed at developing practical models for
improving ICT competence in educational institutions.
