Abstract: This study deals with the concept of information and communication competency of a biology teacher that is connected with the introduction methods and means of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the education system. We have considered prerequisites essential for improvement of quality of continuing professional pedagogical education with the ICT implementation. We determined those competences a biology teacher must possess in a modern education system. Since, an effective and efficient form of developing the ICT competence in future teachers of biology is the study of special disciplines, this study deals with the program of educational discipline “Application of information and communication technologies in the teaching of biology” which is designed to train future teachers of biology and to improve skills of present ones.
