SUMMARY
The authors of the article have determined the content basis of specialist in computer science vocational training which was grounded on the functional approach in the research process. In particular, the content of relevant curricula and programs has been analyzed. The curricula of Poland and Ukraine provide a set of disciplines that ensure the formation of the professional competence of a specialist in computer science. Based on the state standard of a specialist in computer science, we have identified the following teacher of informatics competences: information system, operative-informatics, computer networks, competence in the field of programming. We considered their formation through the prism of the disciplines that they form. The curricula for the training of computer science specialists from Poland and Ukraine have been analyzed. We note that the group of disciplines in the humanities and socio-economic training cycle to a lesser degree, as well as the cycle of educational disciplines of professional and practical training, to a greater extent serve as a fundamental basis for the formation of the professional competence of a specialist in informatics. As for the disciplines of the group of professional and practical training, we note that among the disciplines that contribute to the formation and development of teacher of informatics competence, there are subjects that are characteristic for all higher educational institutions, such as: programming (including systemic, object- oriented, WEB-programming), database design, computer network administration, computer architecture, computer networks, computer graphics, operating systems. Therefore, in higher education institutions which train specialists in computer science, the curriculum provides a large number of disciplines, the content of which is aimed at forming the computer science specialists professional competence. On the basis of the comparative analysis of the training of the future computer science specialists in Poland and Ukraine, the authors have made the conclusion that advanced ideas of the Polish experience of training future specialists of informatics could be used in the Ukrainian system of pedagogical education.
