Abstract

The article determined that the transition of society to the information paradigm became the prerequisite for the development of the content and methodology of teaching informatics in secondary schools. The rapid pace of information growth, the computerization of all spheres of life, and the availability of the use of information resources in the globalized world made it necessary to prepare a person for life in the conditions of the information society. This became an impetus for the formation and development of informatics as an educational subject, which occurs dynamically and synchronously with the development of informatics itself as a science. This causes changes in the purpose, tasks, content and methods of teaching informatics in general secondary education institutions. A notable feature of the content of computer science education is its rapid change, as the software is constantly updated and improved. The analysis of the content of the model programs showed that all of them are built on the basis of the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education and implement the requirements of competence-based, activity-based approaches to education. As evidenced by educational practice, students of different age categories studied informatics at different time stages. Recently, there has been a trend towards a decrease in the age of education seekers, which is due to the needs of the modern information society. Interdisciplinary learning is also part of the trends, which makes it possible for students to use the knowledge acquired in computer science classes in the process of learning other subjects outside of school. On the basis of the analysis of scientific studies, the priority functions of informatics in general secondary education institutions were determined: worldview, cognitive, developmental, educational, and reflective, which is due to the integrative nature of the content of the subject, its purpose and tasks. Informatics as a school subject is aimed at expanding and deepening the knowledge, abilities and skills necessary for successful studies, further professional activities, and the development of students' outlook. Markers of successful learning of informatics are students' ability to study, acquire information, self-develop, and self-realize in the conditions of the information society.
