Abstract

In modern scientific practice, there is a huge number of terms and concepts related to pupils informational alertness such as informational literacy, bibliographic culture, multimedia literacy and others. Professor KemSUCA N.I. Gendina in order to concretize the process of informational education introduces the term personal information culture, in which the individual is to be understood as the subject of search and choice of information. Without taking into account the fact that in the media world the individual becomes an object of manipulation rather than a mediaentity. The international scientific community proposes the term informational literacy, which includes the ability to rationally seek, critically evaluate and creatively use information. In our opinion in this triad the ability to evaluate information critically is the most essential, because it is almost impossible to manipulate a critically thinking person. The conclusion is that for an effective way of school IT preparation, as a guarantee of their social safety in the information society, we need to shift from the study of computer and information technologies to the development of pupils critical thinking.
