Problem and goal. The problem of identifying approaches to training in programming of future teachers of informatics in the context of technologization of modern society is considered. The aim is to determine the features of teaching programming to informatics students of pedagogical universities, as well as the formation of a system of programming languages for teaching future teachers of informatics. Methodology. To solve this problem, a range of research methods was used: analysis of regulatory documents that determine the priority tasks of education and of research and scientific and methodological publications of foreign and domestic scientists, as well as training experience in programming of informatics students of pedagogical universities; reflection of the content of the knowledge gained; identification of approaches to teaching programming for future teachers of informatics. Results. An analysis of the experience of programming teaching to students of pedagogical universities was carried out, including the personal experience of teachers, which made it possible to identify such relevant in modern conditions approaches to teaching future teachers of informatics programming as fundamental and multilevel; specifics of teaching programming, taking into account the professional and pedagogical orientation of the training of future teachers of informatics, are determined; a multilevel system of programming languages for teaching future teachers of informatics is proposed. Conclusion . In the context of the dynamically developing field of information technology and the growing interest in programming, it is important to provide school education with teachers of informatics who have competencies in the field of programming, ready to teach modern programming languages to schoolchildren.
