Abstract
: This article discusses the importance and methods of improving the competence of
school leaders in working with information. School leaders must possess the ability to correctly
receive, analyze, store, and use information to make strategic decisions to ensure effective
management in the educational system. The article highlights the necessary competencies for
school leaders and suggests practical methods for developing these skills.
Keywords:
school leader, working with information, competence, information technology,
digital literacy, information security, management, information culture, leadership staff,
professional development.
Over the past fifteen years, information and communication technologies have significantly
impacted society, causing noticeable changes in the development of pedagogical science and
practice. The new information technologies that emerged worldwide have made it necessary for
people to adapt to them. Therefore, the education system had to respond to the emerging
demands of modern society.
There are three levels of working with information: logical level, storage level (structure), and
physical level. At the logical level, they work with logical data structures that reflect the actual
relationships between objects and their properties, i.e., how the data is presented to the system
user. The information unit at this level is the logical record. Each object described by the
corresponding logical record is characterized by certain attributes.
At the
storage level
(content level), they work with logical data structures and storage-
representative structures in computer memory. The information unit at this level is also a logical
record. The storage structure is maintained by software.
At the
physical layer
, data representations work within physical data structures. At this level,
issues related to the direct implementation of the storage structure in the memory of a specific
computer are addressed. The information unit at this level is the physical record, which is a part
of mass storage media containing one or more logical records.
In developing data structures at all levels, the principle of data independence must be ensured.
Physical data independence means that changes in the physical location of the data and the
hardware of the system should not affect logical structures and application programs, i.e., they
should
not
cause
changes
in
them.
Logical data independence means that changes in storage structures should not lead to changes in
logical data structures or application programs.
Based on the levels mentioned above, it makes working with information more convenient in
each organization. The
information level
expresses how a person or organization working in a
particular information system learns, stores, and solves problems with information. These levels
help people use information correctly and effectively, allowing them to maintain proper
relationships with data.
In the process of mastering information handling skills, a person develops the ability to acquire
effective knowledge in their professional activities and in life in general. Through continuous

professional development, the opportunities to search for, systematize, and utilize information
via information and communication technologies expand even further.
Modern transformational processes are rapidly accelerating in the world, and their impact on the
lives of young people is of increasingly important significance, contributing to the strengthening
of the universality of media culture. Information spread via the internet has a negative impact on
the moral development of youth, with videos and computer games causing a decline in their
academic performance and deteriorating their attitudes toward life, the environment, and people.
Violent computer games are poisoning the minds of young people. Therefore, it is necessary to
develop the culture of computer use in educational processes for school leaders.
An
information society
is one in which the structure, technical base, and human society's
knowledge are adapted to work with information resources, transitioning from passive forms
(books, articles, patents, etc.) to active forms (models, algorithms, programs, projects) for
development purposes. The value of information in society is growing, and it is becoming a vital
need for societal development.
The highly changing nature of life today brings about several new aspects in the information
society:
1.
Information and knowledge become the primary driving forces of society.
2.
The renewal of production and social technologies occurs every 3-5 years, surpassing the
pace of generational change.
3.
Lifelong learning and acquiring new specialties become inseparable from maintaining a
person's social status.
4.
The ability to find, receive, accept, and use necessary information in a timely and
effective manner depends on each individual’s capabilities.
Information Handling Skills
in pedagogical activity help to:
Create new educational resources based on new information.
Critically analyze reforms in the education sector.
Acquire new information about the environment.
Express opinions on the pressing issues of societal development in public debates.
Use media responsibly, with a sense of social responsibility.
Support the development of the global information network.
Research on developing the
management competencies
of educational institution leaders is
based on engaging them in practical activities and management tasks. Within this framework,
future leaders directly master various management skills and methods for solving management
tasks. The process of developing the
professional competencies
of future school managers
involves identifying the organizational aspects of this process. In this context, we based our
approach on the core principles of competency-based approaches, specifically:
Strengthening the personal orientation of the management process, i.e., creating
conditions for active learning based on the interests and needs of future leaders, which will
energize the learning process.
Teaching how to solve professional problems by developing new forms and methods of
activity. In this regard, it is important to introduce future school managers to various methods of
implementing management activities, engage in analysis, and provide self-assessment
opportunities.
Encouraging students toward self-development. Our main goal is to create an
environment where future leaders can demonstrate independence and creativity in solving
management tasks and have the opportunity to observe their own growth and achievements.
According to the theoretical principles of competency-based approaches, the core of education
should be practical tasks (situations), which will lead to developing methods for implementing
activities, forming skills, and fostering the professional competencies of future school managers
in management activities. Ensuring effective resolution of professional management tasks is
based on preparedness to perform school management functions, which is a key indicator of
developing management competencies. Additionally, the practical experience in solving

problems and preparing for real management activities in educational institutions is critical.
The goal is to improve students' overall readiness (e.g., in educational psychology) by providing
deep knowledge in the social, psychological, and leadership aspects of management, developing
initiative and leadership qualities, as well as fostering logical thinking, making effective
management decisions, and shaping management values.
