Computerization as a factor of informatization educational system.

Modern period of development is characterized by the transition from the industrial to post-industrial (information) society and the formation of the global information space. Now, in this regard, state information policy aimed at the widespread introduction of informatization play the significant role.

Informatization of politics is one of the main conditions of political and socio-economic progress, so today all civilized states pursue a deliberate policy of information, the purpose of which is to build an information society.

The formation of information society is based on the use of the latest information technology of computers and computer networks, telecommunication means in all the spheres. Today they characterize the level of development of society and the possibility of its integration into the world civilization, the ability of scientists and specialists to maintain the pace of scientific technological progress.

Informatization policy aims to solve such issues as the development and modernization of information and telecommunications infrastructure, the development of information and computer and telecommunications technology, the formation of national information resources and ensuring broad and free access to them, to prepare a man for life and work in the new information society, etc .

To achieve these goals it’s required to have a major transformation, development and improvement of educational and vocational trainings. Informatization of education, as an integral part of the information society, is to provide training for future qualified specialists capable to effective action in the new information society and the global information space.

Informatization of education involves the creation of conditions for the widespread adoption of information and communication technology in educational institutions, as well as their active use in the learning process. However, the computerization of education is not limited to the use of software and hardware in the education system, but it’s a complex multi-level process involving the creation and accumulation of educational information resources for teachers and students, the implementation of a unified educational space, the use of computers and computer networks as the main instruments of accumulation and information processing, entrance into the world of information and educational space, etc.

Informatization of education is accompanied by changes in both the theory and practice of the educational process, and fundamental changes in the organization of learning and in the content of learning technologies, which must comply with the new technical possibilities of the information society. Through the process of informatization of education there are widely developed education system, as a continuous, distance and open education, based on the use of networked information technology, contributing to the formation of professional competence of the individual specialist.

Informatization of education involves a set of measures for the implementation and use of information technology in the education system. The main component of this set of measures is computerization, which is based on the process of education informatization. Computerization provides a technical basis for the computerization of education. However, apart from this aspect, it is necessary to examine and develop the content side of computerization, the effectiveness of which should be evaluated not only by the amount of the technical means, but also the implementation and use of a single information system, training of educational space.

Formation of a single educational space is based on large-scale computerization and active use of information computer and telecommunications technologies and systems. Currently in the process of computerization some trends are viewed such as increased fleet of new generation computers, moving previously purchased models of computers in regional offices or personal use, the development of the assembly industry and modernization of computers, intensive development of software for local and global networks, and increasing the number of active use of home computers, the growth sector of the market that is associated with the provision of a variety of network services, etc.

Development of different types of lines and channels, branched telecommunication networks, empowering the implementation of network services create technological preconditions for mass home computing, which in turn allows to change radically the education system. Capabilities of modern computer tools, such as visualization of educational information, fast feedback, automation process and search and processing information, etc., create the preconditions for the intensification of the educational process.

Computerization of the education system requires the development of training activities in two directions: on the one hand, it is necessary to study the computer and computer information technology as tools of information processing, and on the other hand, the necessity of mastering methods and techniques of computer tools in learning activities.

Computerisation involves the use of the computer not only as a learning tool, but also a multi-purpose use of the computer in the learning process. The use of computer tools and technologies in the education system can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of training activities on all sides, from the process of development of various subjects and finishing techniques for monitoring and evaluation of knowledge.

Computerization of education allows to organize the learning process in a dialogue mode, consider the rate of assimilation of students learning material, to implement an individualized approach to learning, organize communication between students and information and educational communities, make learning more active and interesting.

Computerization has an impact on all components of the educational process. It imposes certain requirements for the level of information culture of teachers, as well as their willingness to use computer tools and technologies in the learning process. Achieving positive results computerization requires the development of new subject programs involving the use of computers and computer technology.

Computerization of the education system is a tool that allows potentially make the learning process more effective. From the realization of this potential depends on the problem of improving the education system on the basis of information technologies and implementing a widespread policy of informatization of education, which will integrate the national education system in the information infrastructure of the world community.
