Formation of information competence of future specialists of culture and arts in the process of professional training in higher education institutions

Abstract

The article examines the role and importance of information competence. The main attention is paid to the analysis of the teaching experience of university teachers from different European countries, a set of courses and disciplines that are offered for use in the training of culturologists and art critics. Accordingly, the purpose of the work is to analyze the features of the formation of information competence among specialists in culture and arts in the process of professional training in higher education institutions. We used particular methods as synthesis, analysis, induction and deduction, methods of comparison and abstraction. The conclusions state that during the study students get acquainted with the basics of information competence during theoretical courses, but work with its use is based on practical use. An analysis of the curricula of several European universities has shown that the integration of this element into the educational process is linked to practice.
