Urgency of the research. The development of information technologies and the education digitalization require the integrated use of models, methods and tools in the study of each subject. Special attention is required to modernize informatics training and the development of system of informatics competencies of future mathematics teachers. The main direction of modernization of professional training is the digitalization of research-oriented mathematics teaching and the informatization of the teaching content of mathematical disciplines.
Target setting. Changes in technology and educational paradigms necessitate a revision of traditional approaches to building a system of teachers’ informatics competencies.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The approaches to the structuring of the informatics competencies of the future mathematics teacher, developed by Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (USA), V. M. Zhukova, O. M. Spirin and Yu. S. Ramskyi, are considered.
The research objective. The system of informatics competencies of a mathematics teacher, developed by Yu. S. Ramskyi, is a framework – a significant part of its components is not described in terms of indicators and levels of formation. The development of ICT and learning tools, as well as the modernization of the content of teaching informatics requires to design an updated system of informatics competencies.
The statement of basic materials. As a result of the analysis of domestic and foreign standards of key competencies, basic and complete secondary education, teachers’ training (in particular, mathematics teachers’ training) and information technology specialists training, the system of informatics competencies of a mathematics teacher, developed by Yu. S. Ramskyi, was updated in terms of the structure, content and indicators of competencies formation. It has been found out that the formation of the informatics competencies of a mathematics teacher begins with basic informatics competencies, the further development of which occurs primarily in the competencies in system administration, web technologies, programming and systems analysis.
Conclusions. Further research is envisaged in the direction of the development of individual components of the methodical system of informatics learning for future mathematics teachers, aimed at forming the designed system of informatics competencies.
Keywords: informatics competencies, mathematics teachers, informatics training of mathematics teachers, methodical system of informatics learning of future mathematics teachers.
