The purpose of the study is to prove the effectiveness of the DEE funds use in the educational process of a secondary school for the formation of information culture of students. The research methods were: theoretical analysis of psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature on various aspects of the research problem, analysis of the content of normative legal documents, generalization of pedagogical experience, pedagogical experiment, testing and questionnaires, qualitative and quantitative analysis of the empirical research results, data processing using methods of mathematical statistics.

Practical significance: diagnostic tools have been developed and applied, including a combination of valid methods that allow assessing the level of the formed information culture of schoolchildren by means of DEE within the framework of the identified components (motivational-value, information-activity, moral-ethical, reflexive-evaluative). The homogeneity of the groups, as well as the effectiveness of the formation of the information culture among students was confirmed using the statistical method of processing research data. Novelty: the following DEE didactic tools have been implemented: digital educational resource, online excursions, digital books, educational mobile computer games, animated films, school television, school messenger channel, mobile application for self-development. The positive dynamics of the formation of the information culture among schoolchildren in experimental groups has been obtained.
