Abstract

the article examines the impact of digital transformation on the professional culture of a computer science teacher in the context of global changes in the educational sphere. The article analyzes key aspects of digital transformation, such as the globalization of education, the development of ICT, changes in educational requirements and the availability of digital resources, and their impact on the values and beliefs, norms and rules, information behavior, pedagogical practices, as well as communication and interaction of computer science teachers.. Results. The results of the study include the development of a model that clearly demonstrates the complex impact of digital transformation on the main components of the professional culture of a computer science teacher, as well as a detailed description of the changes occurring in each of the components under the influence of digitalization. Particular attention is paid to the need for continuous professional development of computer science teachers in the field of ICT, the formation of digital literacy of students, compliance with digital ethics, mastering new pedagogical approaches and developing effective online communication skills. In conclusion, it is emphasized that digital transformation places new demands on the professional activities of computer science teachers, requiring them to be ready for innovation, continuous self-education and adaptation to the rapidly changing digital educational environment. Conclusion. Digital transformation is fundamentally changing the nature of communication and interaction in the educational environment, transferring most of the communication to an online format. Mostly online communication with students, parents, and colleagues is becoming the norm, which requires computer science teachers to develop effective online communication skills and create a supportive online environment. The active use of social networks and messengers for professional communication and prompt resolution of work issues is becoming an integral part of professional activity. Participation in professional communities and online forums provides teachers with the opportunity to share experiences with colleagues, gain access to relevant information, and participate in professional discussions. Collaboration with colleagues within projects and methodological associations, carried out using digital tools, is becoming more efficient and flexible. Thus, digital transformation has a complex and multifaceted impact on the professional culture of a computer science teacher, affecting all its components and imposing new requirements on the professional activity of a teacher in a digital educational environment.
