Object: the process of professional training of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers in higher education institutions; purpose: to substantiate scientifically and theoretically, develop and test experimentally the pedagogical system of formation of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers in higher education institutions; methods: theoretical (analysis, systematization, generalization, synthesis, abstraction, system structuring and theoretical modeling); empirical (generalizations, analysis); diagnostic (questionnaire, survey, testing, interview, expert assessment), observational (observation, self-observation, rating method, self-assessment), pedagogical experiment, statistical (Student's test, Pearson's chi-square test); novelty theoretically substantiated and developed pedagogical system of formation of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers in higher education institutions, which is aimed at forming integrative quality of personality – visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers in higher education institutions, provides for three stages of formation (propaedeutic-motivational, cognitive-procedural, reflexive-corrective), which use traditional and innovative forms (lectures-demonstrations, problem lectures, training and test laboratory works, individual homework, pedagogical practice, master classes, consultations, scientific conferences, research work), methods (problem, project, task, brainstorming, netnography) and teaching means (educational resources, specialized software, cloud-oriented services, interactive applets, visualized tasks, augmented reality, cognitive-visual models), improving the content of computer science, mathematics and psychology; describes diagnostic tools (criteria and indicators) for determining the levels (low, medium, high) of the formation of visual and information culture; methodological bases of formation of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers as integration of system, culturological, acmeological, personality-oriented, competence, cognitive-visual, praxeological, BYOD approaches are substantiated; specified: the essence of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers; the practical bases of formation of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers in institutions of higher education are defined: rational and balanced use of the specialized software in the field of mathematics and informatics; active use of visualized tasks; purposeful formation of skills to model educational material, critically evaluate and rationally choose computer tools; the content of the concepts “computer visualization means”, “cognitive and visual model”, “cognitive and visual technologies”; diagnostic tools for determining the levels (low, medium, high) of the formation of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers are developed (motivational criterion with indicators "Need", "Motivation"; cognitive one with indicators "Awareness", "Knowledge", "Visual thinking"; procedural one with indicators "Operational-instrumental skills", "Professional skills"; reflexive-evaluative one with indicators "Ability to self-analysis", "Ability to self-improvement"); scientific provisions of the theory and practice of formation of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers in higher education institutions; scientific ideas about the essence, structure, criteria and level features of the formation of visual and information culture of pre-service mathematics and computer science teachers are got further development.
