Abstract:
Informatization and accessibility of information on social networks leads to isinterpretation of certain actual events which social networks try to spread and affect the students’ consciousness in a certain way, which leads to manipulation by the students’ consciousness. That is why the development of information culture of students should be purposeful, organized and predictable in the context of training and education.
The fundamental nature and structure of information culture contains a comprehensive system of knowledge, skills and computer user skills which ensure the efficient use of searching-and-analytical applications to search and structure information and then process it. It includes knowledge of basic principles of computer network structure (domain name system, search services and their features), ability to make search queries, etc. In addition, information culture of the personality includes elements of the following
cultures: communicative (communication culture); lexical (language, ability to create written documents); intellectual (research and mental work); information and legal; outlook and moral. In the article the structure of information culture of students has been theoretically justified under the conditions of hybrid information warfare, which includes value-and-demanding, cognitive-and-communicative interactive-and-technological, critical-reflexive components. Such a conception of the structure of students’ information culture implies only an interconnected system of the above mentioned components, which can provide a high level of information culture for students under the context of hybrid information war.
