The complex research of a problem of use of the information and educational environment as means of development of civic competence of teachers in the Netherlands is carried out in the dissertation.
The conceptual and categorical apparatus of the research is specified and the characteristic of the information and educational environment for the development of civic competence of teachers is given on the basis of the experience of Netherlands. The characteristics and features of the information and educational environment in the Netherlands and Ukraine in the context of European integration processes are revealed.
The stages of formation and development of information and educational environment as a means of developing civic competence of teachers in Ukraine and the Netherlands are highlighted: Stage I - late 90's - early 2000's - non-standardized formation and implementation of information and educational environment basics in the system of postgraduate pedagogical education; Stage II - early 2000s - 2010 - increasing the number and diversification of ICTs in the system of postgraduate pedagogical education; Stage III - 2010 - to date - the stage of standardization and improvement of information and educational environment.

A model of information and educational environment as a means of development of civic competence of teachers is developed and scientifically substantiated. The information and educational environment model for the development of civic competence of teachers consists of the following main blocks: aim (purpose, tasks, social demand; subjects of the system of postgraduate pedagogical education scientific approaches, principles, framework approaches), methodical recommendations, forms and methods of using ICT, content lines and components of civic competence of a teacher, resource hub on civic education, technological (ICT tools and digital technologies), diagnostic-effective (criteria - cognitive, value-motivational, activity-reflexive) , levels of development of civic competence of teachers in information and educational environment (high, medium, low), and tools for diagnosis).
