Ukrainian primary schools are undergoing significant changes as for Reform ‘New Ukrainian School’, it reflects rapid updating information technology and high level of children’ informational activity. Primary schools are basically focused on development subject knowledge and general study skills. One of the ways of their developing is to use tools and apps. There are the examples of using interactive tools and apps for teaching Math for young learners by teachers-to-be in the article. The article presents as well the experimental data about training teachers-to-be to use tools and apps. Interactive tools and apps provide real task variability, uniqueness of exercises, operative assessment of correction, adjustment of task difficulty, a shade of competitiveness and gaming to the exercises. To create their own apps teachers-to be use the tools that are the part of the integrated Microsoft Office package using designing environments, and other simple and convenient programs. The article presents experimental data about the results of training teachers-to-be to create apps. A set of criteria for creation apps was made and checked at the experimental research such as ability to develop apps, knowledge and understanding the functional capabilities of apps, knowledge of tools for creating apps and their functional capabilities, ability to select and formulate tasks for young learners, ability to assess adequately the quality of the developed apps.

The study purpose is to develop methodological support for students’ training for evaluation e-tools for young learners and to check its effectiveness experimentally. The module “Expert evaluation of the quality of e-tools for young learners” is offered for teachers-to-be. The determination of the weighting factor of each criterion by expert evaluations was organized. Educational principles, correlation e-tool content with the curriculum, interactivity, multimedia, assistance system, ergonomic requirements are mentioned. On the basis of the criterion rank, the significance of each criterion was calculated. The indicators to determine the level of preliminary expert evaluations of e-tools are proposed. The results are calculated with nonparametric methods of mathematical statistics, in particular, Pearson’s criterion χ2. The conclusion is the expert evaluation has different activity stages, gradually becoming a common phenomenon. Training teachers-to-be for e-tool expert evaluation at Computer Science, Mathematics, English is a complex process.

The aim of this study is to establishing the features of the practical conditions of work of teachers of informatics for professional orientation of pupils on IT-specialty. Objectives of the study is to analyze the general problems of professional orientation of pupils of secondary schools on the IT-profession; to determine the features of the practical implementation the work of professional orientation the pupils on IT-specialties by the teachers of informatics. The object of research is the professional pedagogical activity of teacher of informatics. The subject of research is the work of teachers of informatics for professional orientation of pupils on IT-profession. In this paper is determined the state of the problem of realization the professional orientation of pupils of secondary schools on the IT-profession by the teachers of informatics. Were interviewed the teachers of Informatics about the professional orientation as part of professional activity of modern Informatics teacher and analyzed its results. Is founded that the successful activity of teachers of informatics by professional orientation of school graduates on IT-specialty required teachers' relevant professional theoretical and practical training. Results of the study is planned to summarize to work out a model of training of teachers of Informatics by professional orientation of pupils on IT-specialty.
