The article analyzes basic categories of the sociocultural approach: a person as a bearer of interaction; society as a set of interacting individuals; culture as a set of knowledge, values and norms. The research aims to identify features of perception of information by a new generation. These qualities are decisive for designing new competencies of teachers and determining methods. Teacher training tools were developed in the following interrelated aspects: transformation of worldview features of the “digital” generation affecting cognitive and information perception processes; transformation of professional qualities of the teacher in the conditions of digitalization; transformation of methods, means and forms of the educational process aimed at maximizing efficiency of the digital generation.
