Description
Summary:This paper deals with the main problem of involving information technologies in education – contents of teachers' training courses. Three directions are presented: preparation of teachers (1), in-service teacher training (2), re-qualification of the speciality (3). The main attention should be paid to the constant in-service teachers' training. The Standard of computer literacy for educators has been developed. It should be the main sources of all teachers' training courses on informa­tion technology. The Standard consists of two parts: technological one and educational one. The technological part is based on ECDL Start modules. The educational part is uniqu: it requires some psychological, social, and pedagogical knowledge referring to information technology usage in education. The main attention of the paper is paid to the analysis and requirements of the educa­tional part of the Standard of computer literacy for educators.
