It is noted that all life in the modern world is based on information receiving. Someone who learns faster, can collect and analyze a large amount of data, gets a significant advantage over other people. The learning process must also be adapted to modern realities, so new teaching methods and technologies are emerging. In our opinion, the most effective ways of obtaining knowledge are based on the use of information and cognitive educational technologies.
The attention is paid to the fact that we determine readiness for the use of information and cognitive technologies taking into account the features of information and cognitive activity, the specifics of information and cognitive training and personality qualities that define the effectiveness and productivity of future professional activities.

The positive dynamics of readiness levels for the use of information and cognitive technologies in the process of organizing and conducting of professional training proved the effectiveness of the experimental methodology for the development of the studied formation.
It can be concluded that the components of development of the readiness of future teachers to use information and cognitive technologies during the special disciplines study affect the nature of their attitude to professional activities positively.
