Development of information culture as a key attribute of a modern specialist in the process of training future translators

Abstract

Study aims to investigate and develop directions for the formation of information culture in undergraduate students to improve the effectiveness of the training of future translators. Based on a survey of applicants, translation students, and research and teaching staff working with translation students, the study assesses the current level of development of information culture in future translators. The survey of applicants and translation students focuses on determining their attitude to working with the information they encounter in their studies and daily life and detecting the basic information-processing skills. The primary goal of the survey of teachers is to reveal their attitudes toward the development of information processing skills and the need to pay attention to the development of these skills in teaching their respective disciplines. The study concludes that the current level of development of information culture in future translators calls for systemic work on this field.
