Postmodern Openings

participants of various institutes of Ukrainian postgraduate 
pedagogical education took part in the initial stage of the 
experiment; 106 primary school teachers of Zaporizhzhia 
Regional Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education 
participated in the formative stage of the experiment. It was 
determined that the main criteria for the information 
competency formation of primary school teachers are the 
formation of motives for successful studying, cognitive 
interest in postgraduate education, the need for self-
development and self-expression; the system of information 
knowledge, skills and abilities, mastery of information and 
communication technologies, focus on further self-
development. The paper indicated the positive influence of 
the original methodology on the dynamics of the information 
competency constituents of the teachers from the 
experimental group: the number of teachers with high and 
middle levels increased by 12.6% and 21.1% under the 
motivational and value-based component; by 22.1% and 
18.0% under the procedural and conceptual component; by 
15.9% and 18.9% under the regulatory and reflexive 
component. This indicates the superiority of the original 
methodology over the existing one in the formation of 
information competency of primary school teachers in the 
postgraduate education.
Keywords: information competency; primary school teachers; 
postgraduate education.
