摘要：The relevance of the research is associated with the fact that information technologies,
social services of the Internet and the very cyberspace are changing rapidly adding into
the human life new facets of existence and interaction, new opportunities to act,
manifestations of mental processes and personality features, one of them being
information competency. These changes affect the way the understanding of such
phenomena as Internet activity and Internet addiction throughout the development of
one’s information competency is shaped. With regard to this, the paper is aimed at
finding out the signs of Internet activity and its transition into Internet addiction in the
development of an individual’s information competency. The leading methods for
researching this problem are extrapolation and modeling that allow considering the
approaches to understanding the “Internet activity” and “Internet addiction”
phenomena in pedagogical and psychological literature in their entirety and in
comparison, analyzing the Internet risks, and describing the mechanisms of
transformation of Internet activity into Internet addiction during the development of
an individual’s information competency. In the paper, the following phenomena are
defined: the “Internet activity” as a part of daily culture of a person belonging to digital
society and the “Internet addiction” as acquired behavior based on the intensity of the
wish to stay in the Internet continuously and affecting the development of an
individual’s information competency in the context of changing its role both in the real
and virtual life. In the paper, it is emphasized that a certain development level of an
individual’s information competency is manifested in the individual’s Internet activity
while excessive Internet activity practiced by the individual triggers the mechanisms of
its transformation into Internet addiction. The materials of the paper are of practical
importance for master’s degree students, postgraduate students, teachers of higher
education institutions and teachers of educational institutions conducting research in
this area that set objectives associated with looking for pedagogical means for
individuals to practice their Internet activity without running into Internet addiction.
