This paper provides an analysis of the viewpoints of IT discipline teachers at Kazakhstani universities regarding the need
for the development of methodological competence. The purpose of this study is to provide IT teachers with a philosophy
of necessity to develop their methodological basis to train future IT specialists. The sociological survey was conducted
among them and the answers to the questionnaire showed that teachers understand the relationship between their
methodological training and the quality of education. The interviewed teachers use a variety of technologies and methods
of teaching and evaluating the achievement of learning outcomes by students in the educational process which indicates
that they have a certain level of methodological competence. Nevertheless, the problem of unclear understanding of the
differences between the concepts of technology and teaching method is revealed. This suggests the need for measures to
strengthen the general pedagogical training of teachers. The study’s findings have shown that IT discipline teachers at
Kazakhstani universities understand the need for constant development of their methodological competence. The opinion of
teachers in the IT discipline about the need to develop methodological competence is positive and they are ready for
continuous improvement. The study gives a foundation for research on the level of formation of methodological
competence in general and its components, organizational forms of development of methodological competence and the
possibility of strengthening the general pedagogical training of future teachers of IT disciplines.
