The information culture of the person is now one of the main components
of the general culture of the person. The information culture includes
information literacy, information outlook and literacy in the field of
information-computer technologies [1].
The role of computers has increased in life of a modern society. It is
now difficult to name its any area – whether it be manufacture, a science,
technics, culture, agriculture, a life, entertainment where application of
computers wouldn't bring notable results.
The increase in intellectual loading at mathematics lessons forces to
think of how to support at pupils interest to a studied subject, their activity
throughout all lesson. The computer can render the huge help in the decision of
this question.
Computer use at training allows to create information conditions, to
stimulate interest and keenness of the child.
As one of advantages of modern lessons I consider application of
information-computer technologies.
The information culture consists not only in mastering by a certain
complex of knowledge and abilities in the field of information-computer
technologies, but also assumes knowledge and observance legal and ethical
standards and rules.
It is necessary for modern person to seize communicative culture, that
is abilities to create and send electronic letters to find the necessary
information in the World wide web or in file archives, to participate in chats
and so on. As at us at school free access to the Internet is connected, we with
children at mathematics lessons learn to extract and process the information,
to analyze it.
All it assumes observance of certain rules: to answer questions, not to
digress of discussion and so on.
For development in modern conditions the person should acquire certain
knowledge, skills for successful operating by the information, to possess the
basic qualities, allowing to improve this knowledge, skills according to modern
information technology, to have outlook of an information society.
Literacy in the field of information-computer technologies is reached
only in the course of regular use of information technology in an everyday
life. From the point of view of use of information-computer technologies the
population can be divided into four groups: on those who regularly uses
information-computer technologies, accordingly has an unimpeded access to the
information; on those who wants them to use, but for any reasons can't; on
those who for whatever reasons doesn't want them to use; on those who has no
representation about modern information-computer technologies. Last three
groups in most cases concern the province population. It is caused by many
factors, from which the population and insufficient awareness on possibilities
of modern information technology [2] are main the limited access to
information-computer technologies, «information passivity».
Access restrictions can be as technical (for who doesn't have the
technics necessary for work with ICT), and economic (for those who can't use
new technologies because of high cost of services). Technical limitation
frequently is a consequence of the economic. For a province now the most
essential are, first of all, economic restrictions, for example, cost of access
to a network the Internet in small provincial small town in times, and
sometimes and in tens times above cost of similar services of a large megacity.
If to consider information culture of the person as the tool of development and
adaptation to environmental conditions and as a way of harmonization of private
world of the person during development of all volume of socially significant
information, it is possible to draw a conclusion that level of information
culture of the average inhabitant of a province a little below level of the
inhabitant of a big city, it follows from this that the person living in a
province receives smaller quantity of socially significant information, the
reason of it is the limited access.
«Information passivity» is inherent in people who aren't fond of
innovations or deny innovations basically. Unfortunately such people, in a
province it is a lot of, it, first of all people who can't estimate on
advantage advantage of information-computer technologies in comparison with
other sources of the information. For Russia it is necessary to raise first of
all awareness on possibilities ICT, especially in a province, and to create a
wide network of accessible retraining, especially teachers and teachers.
Special place in treatment of concept «the information culture» occupies
information outlook. The information outlook is a frame of reference of the
person on the world of the information and a place of the person in it. The
information outlook includes belief, ideals, knowledge and activity principles.
Information outlook it is closely connected with motivation of activity of the
person which defines success of its information preparation. In case of work
from information-computer technologies, the person who has begun them to use,
frequently doesn't need the further motivation as it can be convinced of
necessity of universal use of these technologies personally.
Poverty of the population, including information poverty, low level of
access to information-computer technologies and awareness on their
possibilities, shortage of teachers and teachers of computer science, free or
cheap courses of retraining are principal causes of low level of penetration ICT
in a province, and disturbs to increase of level of information culture of the
person. The decision of these problems – a key question of today's development
[3].
Skillful use of computer facilities is got today by nation-wide value,
and one of the major problems of school – to arm pupils with knowledge and
skills of use of modern computer facilities. Hopes all over the world are pined
on a training computerization to raise efficiency of educational process, to
reduce rupture between requirements which the society shows to rising
generation, and that the school really gives.
Thus, we see close interrelation of information-technical progress with mankind
which is absorbed within the precincts of educational institutions, including
schools. Bringing up and raising thereby information culture of the person of
the schoolboy.
