According to the results of a number of studies, the formation of information competence in future digital vocational teachers involves targeted and systematic work on the development of critical thinking, improving the ability to analyze and characterize, and skillfully implement innovative approaches in information and communication technologies. Ukrainian and foreign scholars emphasize the need for targeted activities in the area of informatics competence formation as one of the key factors for the formation of a modern specialist, which provides him / her with an undeniable opportunity to increase the level of ability to think, communicate and work effectively. In this situation, the issue of determining the initial state of formation of future vocational teachers’ informational competence in digital technologies deserves special attention. The effectiveness of this process depends on determining the algorithm for the formation of relevant competencies, the choice of forms, methods, and means to be implemented in the educational process.To accomplish such a task, it is necessary to analyze all components of informatics competence and prove the presence or absence of statistical equivalence between the experimental and control groups at the beginning of the experimental study. It should be assumed that the motivational sphere is the basis for effective activities to form informational competence. That is why we began to study the motives and value orientations of future teachers of digital technologies in the control and experimental groups. In particular, in order to establish the real state of formation of the motivational and value component, which covered the motivational and axiological criteria, we chose standardized methods that were adapted to establish a four-level scale to clearly define the level gradation of the state of formation of a specific indicator of information competence by all criteria.
