Theoretical Prerequisites for Training Future Primary School Teachers to Form Students’ Media Educational Skills

Summary/Abstract: The article substantiates the theoretical prerequisites for training future primary school teachers to form students’ media educational skills. The development of new technologies necessitates managing information, choosing the primary information from a large flow within minimal time. The digitalization of society requires a person to be able to work correctly with media resources. Massive information flow covers all areas of human life, and the main difficulty is not to obtain specific information but to determine which information is needed. Because many current media do not verify the authenticity of the data published, manipulative technologies are spreading. Currently, the purpose of higher educational establishments is to train an educated specialist, who should be focused on lifelong learning and his or her ongoing personal and professional development. To be able to develop students’ media educational skills, teachers themselves need to be media-competent. Media competence affects students' professional competence and ensures the development of critical and analytical thinking. Pedagogical institutions of higher education are designed to provide future teachers with a high level of professional media knowledge and media skills to form a creative personality of a modern teacher, capable of research and innovation. In higher educational establishments of Ukraine, there have been revealed a number of problems related to the lack of orientation of the educational process on the professional training of future teachers to form media educational skills of students, namely: weak motivation of students to acquire media academic knowledge; episodic application of media educational technologies in the educational process; lack of future teachers’ interest in improving their level of media competence; insufficient level of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, associated with the effective use of media education, their didactic capabilities and functions; future teachers do not have the desire to improve their knowledge and skills through the use of media education technologies.
