THE PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT OF DEVELOPING INFORMATION-ANALYTICAL COMPETENCE IN PROSPECTIVE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS

Abstract

This article examines the pedagogical approaches and content essential for developing information-analytical competence in prospective foreign language teachers. Information-analytical competence enables teachers to critically evaluate, interpret, and apply data and educational resources effectively in language teaching contexts. The study explores key components of this competence, including critical thinking, data analysis, and decision-making skills, and discusses strategies for integrating them into teacher education programs. Emphasizing the importance of these skills for effective language instruction, the article provides recommendations for curriculum design aimed at preparing competent and reflective foreign language educators.
