THE CONTENT-TECHNOLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR THE PROCESS OF FORMING THE INFORMATION COMPETENCE OF A SOCIAL WORKER IN THE UNIVERSITY

The analysis of the educational and methodical support of the training direction “Social Work” made it possible to determine the relevance of the development of content-technological support for the process of forming the information competence of a social worker in a university using computer technology. The developed complex of disciplines of the variable block of formation of information competence was realized and divided into three stages: adaptive-setting, reproductive-activity and professionally-oriented stage. The implementation of the adaptive-setting phase is characterized by the formation in students of the simplest skills of searching and selecting information using a personal computer and its software, orienting future social workers to active information activities in solving learning problems. Reproductive activity stage involves more in-depth and systematic work with information, use of Internet resources, search systems, specialized computer programs for the analysis of statistical data, the formation of cognitive and applied activity when working with information in solving educational, research and professional tasks. Professional-oriented stage is the closest to the professional work of a social worker. Students acquire skills of working with information in information systems through interagency electronic interaction: the portal of state services “Electronic employer”, etc. They get acquainted with specialized software of social services, develop skills of design and research activity.
