Introduction and use of information and communication technologies greatly simplify any processes and create conditions for improving the quality of life in general. Modern information and communication technologies acquire features of an important resource of technological development in educational process of Russian higher education. Socio-pedagogical significance of the topic under study is determined by the solution of an important state task —training of competent specialists, in particular, presence of a key vector in the development of information competence of a higher school teacher, and insufficient solution to the problem of a teacher’s information competence development in modern conditions. The purpose of the work is to develop a program of professional development for teachers to increase their level of information competence. The phenomenon of information competence of a technical higher education teacher acquires extraordinary relevance for pedagogical theory and practice, which is due to modern educational trends related to the need to implement tasks of preparing a modern teacher in terms of informatization of education. The teacher should be capable of carrying out professional pedagogical activity productively. The authors developed a model for information competence development of a higher educational institution teacher, as well as a program based on it.

This advanced training program may be used in future for all high school teachers.
