Due to the accelerated pace of information and communication technology developments, the digital society and the digital economy have become real and, in turn, pose specific challenges. In this environment, digital skills and competences are essential to achieve the professional success and personal development of any individual. The positive impact that information and communication technology has on education cannot be disputed, but there are also some obstacles that need to be overcome in order to make the most of these benefits. An essential aspect to consider is that technology has repercussions not only on pupils and students, but also on teachers, who must adapt and acquire the knowledge necessary to disseminate information. Having as the main objective of reflecting the impact of digitalization on the educational sector, the paper highlights the basic concepts in the field of digital technology and, at the same time, the current implications on educational processes. At the same time, through logistic regression, the way in which the means of digital innovation influence the education in Romania is analysed and to determine the factors with the highest degree of influence. Modern technology can be considered as synonymous with the future and that is why it is essential that all young students acquire the digital knowledge necessary to revolutionize the educational process and at the same time redefine the recruitment of the labour market.

Nowadays biology teachers should be professional, ICT and information competent, and they must be able to create diverse teaching scenarios and apply modern technology, enabling students to acquire the knowledge and develop the competences needed for life in the 21st century. With the aim of determining the degree of implementation of information and communication technology in the educational process, a research was conducted on a sample of 65 biology teachers from the Split-Dalmatia County. The results show that biology teachers insufficiently apply ICT tools, and on the work they most commonly use Power Point presentations and their permutations. Length of teachers working experience and the types of schools in which they work are not factors frequently use of ICT tools in the educational process. The results can be the encouragement to transform the initial education of future biology teachers and guidelines for the necessary additional professional training of teachers practitioners and strengthening their ICT skills.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an important role in supporting economic growth and overcoming income inequality. ICT infrastructure functions to facilitate the use of ICT by economic actors through ICT devices. Previous research used more data between countries or between districts/cities while Indonesia consisted of provinces with different social and economic characteristics. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of ICT infrastructure on economic growth and income inequality in Indonesia using provincial panel data for the period 2011-2016. The results of the analysis of simultaneous equation models using the Two Stages Least Square (TSLS) method state that ICT infrastructure indicators consisting of cellular telephone ownership, internet accessibility, and the number of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) significantly has a positive impact on economic growth. In addition, these ICT infrastructure variables indirectly have an impact on income inequality through economic growth. Other results obtained are that government spending on ICTs do not significantly impact economic growth and income inequality in Indonesia. The conclusion is that ICT infrastructure has a direct impact on economic growth and an indirect impact on income inequality.

There are a lot of significant structural changes in almost all higher educational institutions in Ukraine due to time requirements. Accession to a single European space, new educational standards requires the revision and expansion of the content of pedagogical activities, functions and roles implemented by educators. Students are granted the rights and opportunities for the most complete satisfaction of individual educational requests. There was a need to review the ideas about the content of teaching activities and the emergence of new positions. In recent years, scientists have been actively discussing the introduction the position of the tutor in the education system. The term «tutor» came to us from classical universities in Great Britain and extended the notion of «teacher». Tutors became widespread, especially in the context of the gradual integration of Ukraine into the European educational space. Tutor is a historically established special pedagogical position that provides the development of individual educational programs, the potential of each student and prepares him for a changing life. Tutor controls not only student’s study, but also his behavior, way of life, attending classes, rest, appearance, etc. Tutor while working with student transmits a variety of techniques and rules for mastering new knowledge. However, learning is impossible without the use of ICT. Therefore, it is not enough for tutor to use only traditional technologies of education and upbringing. After all, without the use of computer it is difficult to satisfy the individual requests of each student. So tutors need to know the possibilities of the Internet navigate the pedagogical network communities, use innovative pedagogical technologies to increase the students’ interest in learning and activating their cognitive activity. Indeed, nowadays it is difficult to imagine a learning process without the use of modern technology. Thus, information and communication technologies should become reliable assistants of the tutor to the new conditions of life and professional activity in the information society. Application of information and communication technologies in tutoring practices is considered as an innovative approach in building the process of training and preparing students for professional activities. This is due to the fact that the computerization and application of modern information and communication technologies is an opportunity that will help to create a new system of education. Information and communication technology at the university is not a trend, but a modern necessity. They must become an integral part of the educational process. Therefore, the modern tutor must be able to work with new means of education, at least in order to ensure one of the most important rights of the student − the right in qualitative education. Consequently, in the process of tutor’s support various information and communication technologies can be used to maximize the optimization of tutor activity.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
