Abstract

The article describes training issues of future informatics teachers. So, scientists identify orders of priority problems, which require detailed study: the issues of implementation cloud services for the organization of educational activities, the experience of didactic and methodological providing of the computer science courses; substantiation of pedagogical requirements for professional development of the specialized software; the fundamental training of the future informatics teachers. The author of the article notes that the last question have to open more detail for study. He notes that students should learn to work in a team and use the version control system Git in the process of learning programming. Also, the article analyzes the scientific literature based on this problem. The author points out that the issue of using the technology Git in learning is not disclosed in the Ukrainian scientific literature. Therefore, the goal of the article is to disclosure the advantages of using Git technology in the process of preparing future informatics teachers. In the main part of the article, the author explains Git technology and the importance of using it for team software development. He also describes the famous projects that are created using Git. The article opens points which the using of Git is so effective in studying, if this program uses for organize the team work of students for the execution of coursework and diploma projects. The author points out that the use of the version control system Git will also have positive results of the implementation technology if it is used by students for laboratory tasks on programming. To confirm this opinion, he gives an example of a discipline, which used in studying with Git technology. The author describes the benefits of using the program Git and the Internet resource of Gitgub repositories for students and teachers. He notes that the application of this technology can approach the learning process closer to the real practical work of programmers in the team.
