The article shows the importance of teaching ethics for the development of humanitarian education, as well as reveals the problematic issues of contemporary ethical knowledge. The authors consider the issue of the influence of digital technologies on remote communication of people, analyzing in this regard the network communications. It is shown that they correspond to morality, in which the communication of people is supposed to be unlimited by formal institutions, and is characterized by a broad discourse. The used methodology is based on the ethics of discourse, works on virtue ethics, modern brain research, neurophilosophy, and evolutionary ethics. Besides, the authors show the importance of virtue ethics and demonstrate that neurophilosophy and evolutionary ethics are unable to explain the entire variety of human behavior, in particular, to explain why a person is able to set himself supertasks. The article analyzes the development specifics of global processes that often cause the transformation of moral behavior motives. The novelty of the research consists in demonstrating the combination of ethical (humanitarian) and natural science knowledge, which corresponds to the development stage of contemporary science, which is characterized as post-nonclassical.

Abstract. The ethical challenges facing contemporary science range from scientific misconduct to the rightful treatment of people, animals and the environment. In this work, we explore the role of virtue ethics, which concern the character of a person, in contemporary science. Through interviews with 13 scientists, eight of whom are geoscientists, we identify six virtues in science (honesty, humility, philia, innocence, generosity and reticence), paired with vices, and construct a narrative argument around them. Specifically, we employ the narrative structure of the late medieval poem The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri, and draw on its moral universe to explore the scientific virtues. Using this narrative device, we make the case for virtue ethics being a reliable guide for all matters scientific. As such, this work lays out a modern code of conduct for science.

The article is devoted to the up-to-date problem of introduction of digital technologies by their integration in higher education teaching and learning for the purpose of formation of the independent, responsible, socially active personality. The specifics of mastering digital competence, which today is an integral component of students’ training, and due to the use of digital technologies provides future professionals with relevant knowledge, forms their ability to adequately use digital information and work in a dynamic environment. The features of the use of digital technologies in the professional offline/online activities of future specialists are discussed; the overall positive impact of use of technologies in students learning process and outcomes aimed to promote students’ active engagement and participation in the learning process inside and outside the classroom id admitted. The data also revealed digital technologies to support more transmissive ways of teaching, facilitating students individually to access, share and publish information, and significantly lesser used to promote collaborative and cooperative learning. The potential benefits of digital technologies in the classroom are revealed and can be taken to mean digital processing systems that encourage active learning, knowledge construction, inquiry, and exploration, and which also allow for remote communication as well as data sharing to take place between teachers and/or learners in different physical classroom locations. Theoretical aspects of the research are substantiated; the main intensifiers of transformation processes in education are determined; six levels of digital competence development are characterized in accordance with the specifics of professional tasks, type and level of educational training. The concepts of "digital competence", "digital technologies", "digitalization" are disclosed. The effectiveness of using digital technologies in order to increase the efficiency of practical training of future professionals in higher education institutions is substantiated. The most widespread digital technologies are singled out and systematized into taxonomy in the context of formation of digital competence of future specialists.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of the pharmaceutical market is analyzed. In addition to serious losses, the current situation also provided an opportunity for development. First of all, this has affected communications, which have almost completely switched to digital format. The technical capabilities and skills of using digital technologies of all participants in the pharmaceutical market - patients, doctors, pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, government, showed who was ready to accept the current reality, and who was left out of work. Also, the current situation has further exposed the problems that exist in the pharmaceutical market. A good example is pharmaceutical companies that have switched to remote communication. For some companies, this was not difficult, because previously these companies, understanding the prospects for interaction through digital communications, have already created departments that fully interact with customers through digital technologies. Those who did not pay attention to the development of digital promotion channels had to quickly rebuild, while there were problems with technical equipment, the ability to use it by the company’s employees, and most importantly – online meeting is different from an offline meeting. Also, not all clients were ready to interact in an online format. And if earlier they asked, for example, to send information by email, then started the complete remote work, everyone had to know various systems for meet remotely.

Modern conditions for remote communication and learning have entailed the spread of digital technologies, when teachers are actively involved in the process of searching for new knowledge and mastering effective digitalization tools. Responding to modern challenges, the authors propose to create on the basis of KazNPU named after Abai «Student digital SRW-club», the purpose of which is to stimulate research and educational activities of students, cultivate students’ enthusiasm, form critical thinking and leadership skills, skills of creative activity, work in a team. The project «Student digital research club» is based on remote scientific activities and gamification elements that will allow students to instill interest in research work. The novelty of the project is that for the first time at a qualitatively new level, an attempt is made to modernize the process of the research process for university students. The work is promising, since through the creation of innovative methods, the competitiveness of the training of domestic teaching staff is increased.

Темпы распространения цифровых технологий на столько существенны, что проявления этого процесса имеют очевидное проявление даже в повседневной жизни. Впрочем, активное применение этих технологий во всех сферах экономической деятельности, цифровизация экономики  происходят в течение последних нескольких десятилетий. Нынешний этап можно определить как такой, в течение которого процессы цифровизации набрали особенно интенсивный характер. Существует большое количество аспектов цифровизации, один из которых – необходимость приобретения всеми членами общества цифровых компетенций. Для каждого лица приобретение надлежащих цифровых компетенций имеет решающее практическое значение: сейчас целые сферы экономической деятельности отказываются от непосредственного взаимодействия с клиентами, и применяют информационно-коммуникационные технологии для дистанционного общения и организации самообслуживания. Следовательно, понятие «цифровых компетенций» постоянно расширяется, и оно уже не может ограничиться только образовательной сферой. Существует несколько подходов к пониманию содержания понятия «цифровые компетенции»; согласно одному из общепризнанных толкований, цифровые компетенции (в отношении определенного лица) – это знания и навыки, которые необходимы для корректурного, эффективного и безопасного использования цифровых технологий, а также существование в обществе, которое насыщенно цифровыми технологиями. The pace of the spread of digital technologies is so significant that the manifestations of this process have an obvious manifestation even in everyday life. However, the active use of these technologies in all spheres of economic activity, the digitalization of the economy has been taking place over the past few decades. The current stage can be defined as one during which the processes of digitalization have gained a particularly intensive character. There are a large number of aspects of digitalization, one of which is the need for all members of society to acquire digital competencies. For each person, the acquisition of appropriate digital competencies is of crucial practical importance: now entire spheres of economic activity are abandoning direct interaction with customers, and using information and communication technologies for remote communication and self-service organization. Consequently, the concept of "digital competencies" is constantly expanding, and it can no longer be limited only to the educational sphere. There are several approaches to understanding the content of the concept of "digital competencies"; according to one of the generally accepted interpretations, digital competencies (in relation to a certain person) are the knowledge and skills that are necessary for the correct, effective and safe use of digital technologies, as well as existence in a society that is saturated with digital technologies.

It is evident that almost nobody is satisfied with contemporary (science) education, however, critique and proposed solutions to the perceived educational problems are sometimes established from opposite reasoning. Nowadays we can witness, for example, debates about position, role and effect of digital mobile technologies, social networks, and many other issues on behaviour and performance of students. Suggestions about their place in science education are on a scale between transforming education toward digital technologies and calls to prohibit, at least some of them, on the other end. Unfortunately enough argumentation too many times follows patterns recognized as ‘The demon-haunted world’ (Sagan, 1995) and a vocabulary and argumentation in line with Frankfurt’s (2005) famous essay ‘On bullshit’.
