INFORMATION CULTURE OF A UNIVERSITY STUDENT AS A MEANS OF SUCCESSFUL PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY IN THE FUTURE

Abstract

Currently, much attention is paid to the development and formation of information culture at different stages of the learning process. This is due to the constant growth of information flow. Modern students should be well guided both in the selection of information that meets the requirements of scientific nature, reliability, relevance, and to own various innovations in the field of information and communication technologies, be able to competently apply them in practice, and improve existing skills in converting information. In connection with the current situation in universities, new, specific disciplines are being introduced that promote and help students in this direction. At the Gorno-Altaisk State University, one of such subjects is “Fundamentals of Information Culture” and “ICT as a Sphere of Socialization and a Means of Education”. The disciplines introduced into the educational process are aimed at increasing the level of information culture of students, which in turn is one of the main means of their future professional career.
