Abstract

The article presents the results of analysing the general trends of domestic IT industry development and peculiarities of IT specialists training in higher education institutions. The research was carried out by studying the legal acts, statistical sources, economic, scientific and pedagogical literature on the information society functioning regulation. IT education is characterized as an interdisciplinary phenomenon; its multiple aspects are due to its belonging to different sciences’ subjects – pedagogy, psychology, economics, sociology, philosophy, etc. Two important pedagogical problems are identified: developing the digital competences of future specialists’ of all spheres of Ukrainian economy, (to provide specialists’ professional flexibility and mobility in a rapidly changing information society) and staffing the domestic IT industry. It is proved that formal, non-formal and informal directions present IT education in Ukraine. It was found that the formal IT education was able to provide high-quality training of IT specialists for domestic and international labour markets, but began to lose the role of a leading provider of educational services for the IT sector giving way to non-formal and informal education. It is shown that the most urgent problems today are: the most skilled workers’ moving to foreign IT companies with better working conditions and higher salaries, switching to domestic IT sphere of specialists without basic technical education from other non-core spheres, which lowers the qualification of domestic IT specialists; the absence of close effective links between the education system and IT sphere, which complicates the professional training of a critical mass of IT specialists who can not only perform outsourcing functions, but also produce an independent software product; the disproportion between the graduates’ key and professional skills, which complicates their building the successful professional career; marginalization of socio-humanitarian cycle disciplines in the non-humanitarian higher education institutions, which does not contribute to formation of a strong system of values, necessary for the protection of their ego-identity under the hybrid information war.
