Abstract

The article substantiates the relevance of the development of graphic competence in the conditions of rapid growth in the volume of digital information and the spread of information and communication technologies. It is noted that the ability to effectively visualize data is becoming an important component of the professionalism of a modern specialist whose activities take place in a digital and multimedia environment. The interdisciplinary nature of graphic competence and its importance for the training of specialists in various specialties are emphasized.

The concept and content structure of the graphic competence of a future specialist are characterized, which consists of four main components: motivational, cognitive, practical and personality. In order to develop the graphic competence in the higher education students, especially those who do not study the technical specialties, it is proposed to actively use extracurricular work. For this purpose, an optional course "Fundamentals of Infographics" has been developed, which has an interdisciplinary nature and combines various forms, methods and means of learning, focused on the active cognitive activity of education seekers. The thematic content of the course is presented. Forms, methods and means of learning that are appropriate to use within the framework of the elective course are proposed. Attention is focused on the project form of learning, which is implemented through the completion of a final creative task. The goal and objectives of the elective course are determined, aimed at developing in students the ability to transform complex information into a structured and aesthetically designed visual form. The course is focused on the development of graphic competence through mastering the theoretical foundations of infographics, acquiring analytical and practical skills for working with data and digital tools, as well as improving the creative, communicative and reflective potential of future specialists in accordance with the requirements of the digital society.
