Abstract

The article considers the problem of the unconformity of the received by a student educational product to the modern educational requirements, the existence of the contradictions between the accessibility of information and the development of a self-sufficient personality, who is ready for the scientific and pedagogical mobility. The actuality of the raised problem is caused by the considerable informatization of the society, which eliminates the elements of the educational and scientific creativity of students and lets them use a ready informational product. The aim of this article is the research of the gist of the concept “linguistic and technological competence”, the detection of applied aspects of its development. This foresees the highlighting of this concept in the structure of the informational and technologic competence on the basis of its detailed analysis. The usage of the methods of the scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, statistical and comparative analysis, systematization and generalization gave the opportunity to detect the problematic aspects of the development of the linguistic and technological competence of the students of pedagogical professions. For example, the development of the motivational and cognitive components in the future teachers of the primary schools of the mountainous locality is hindered by the low-level material maintenance of those schools. The experimental research, which was conducted among the students of the profession “Primary Education” during the study of the course “Ukrainian Language (for Professional Purposes)”, has shown the defects in the development of the operational, transformational and ethical components of the technologic competence. The operational and transformational components, in view of the amount of their content repletion, give the opportunity to highlight the linguistic and technological competence in the structure of the informational and technologic competence by determining it as the skills of technologically and linguistically literate arrangement of typed text and the skills of turning it into presentational material. The problem of the development of the linguistic and technological competence becomes especially actual and must be solved systemically because pedagogical activity of a teacher or a scientist cannot be effective without usage of modern technical means of education and didactic software. The students with the master’s degree are suggested to do special courses like “Informational and Technologic Culture of a Teacher”, “Polycultural Education”, “Linguistic and Technological Discourse”.
