DIGITAL LITERACY OF SCHOOLCHILDREN: CONDITIONS AND MECHANISMS OF DEVELOPMENT
The article presents some aspects of the development of schoolchildren's digital literacy. Digital literacy of primary school students is a set of knowledge and skills of a schoolchild on the use of information technology in everyday life and education. Digital literacy includes a willingness to find the necessary information and comprehend it and the ability to avoid the risks of the digital environment. The key skills of digital literacy are the ability to process information, the ability to act collaboratively (digital competence), the ability to comply with information security (digital security). The article offers the cascade technology that was designed as a technological condition for the development of schoolchildren's digital literacy. The technology consists of five consecutive actions: analysis - design - development - applicationevaluation. All actions are focused on the development, application and adjustment of a system of iterative teaching tasks. Iteration relating to teaching tasks means a systematic repetition of actions and their progressive complication. Progressive complications of teaching tasks follow the route from individual tasks performed fully independently to cooperative work with a mandatory report on completion. All these positions are reflected in the generalized model of the development of schoolchildren's digital literacy.
