Directions for Regulating the Environment That Affect the Development of Students' Skills Adequate to the Challenges of Modern Society

The research shows that in the current system of socio-economic relations—the "techno-democratic information society"—the intellectual and creative activity of everyone living in it becomes a paramount requirement. For this reason, it is desirable for every member of society to rise to the level of a subject possessing intellectual skills; they must have an information culture and technological literacy. The research presents the characteristics of "Education 4.0", which provides an effective environment for the formation of students' technological literacy and information culture, as well as the groups of intellectual skills that must be formed in this system, formulated on a certain logical basis. The research paper highlights that these tasks are designed based on the principle of modeling the structure of various intellectual skills. As students complete them, they acquire intellectual skills such as determining the purpose of their work, systematizing educational material from this perspective, independently collecting material, etc. The research focuses on the didactic principles necessary for the selection and systematization of tasks to be applied in order to form and develop students' technological literacy and information culture, as well as for organizing students' activities based on them.
