The article touches upon the major role of forming data presentation skills. It is highlighted that, according to the principle of «double including» of basic components into the educational system, the issues of data presentation should be included into the education subject matter in two ways - as a separate independent section, and also as a «reach-through» line concerning the whole of the informatics course. The author describes the approach to the formation of the «reach-through» line «Data presentation» in the subject matter of the informatics course, founded on the basis of the idea «from informational processes to informational technologies». A methodology of arranging the educational practice in terms of developing the data presentation issues is presented.
