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.

This study investigates the impact of strategic notetaking on English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ academic performance among university students in Jordan. Thus, we hypothesized that there is a significant and positive impact of strategic note-taking on EFL learners’ academic performance. To confirm this hypothesis, descriptive research design was applied in this study. 384 (three hundred and eighty-four) respondents were randomly selected from the four public universities in Jordan. This study adapted instruments which include strategic note taking and students’ academic performance measurement items and the data obtained was analysed through Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS-22). The result showed that the strategic note taking (i.e. independent variable) has significant effects on EFL learners’ academic performance (R2 =.919). Moreover, the strategic notetaking made the significant contribution (Beta= .449; t= 18.714; P <0.05) to the prediction of EFL learners’ academic performance. In line with the findings, this study emphasised and explained the impact of strategic notetaking and how to improve EFL learners’ level of notetaking for better academic performance in Jordan.

Авторы статьи придают особую важность задаче развития навыков работы с информацией в учебном процессе. Они основывались на идеях педагогического конструктивизма и системе взаимного обучения. В статье делается акцент на проблеме изложения как неотъемлемой части учебного процесса. Авторы смогли выделить в привычной схеме традиционного изложения материала целый ряд недостатков, что побудило их к тому, чтобы провести работу над излагаемым материалом, добавив уровни и последовательность их представления. В работе описывается влияние фактора ответственности на степень вовлеченности обучающихся. Исходя из результатов этих исследований, авторы статьи смогли создать инновационную схему проведения учебного занятия. При расчете продолжительности активного внимания у студентов в создании схемы они учли такую современную тенденцию, как клиповое мышление. Благодаря предложенной схеме, привычная передача информации от одного нескольким преобразовалась в коллективную работу. В статье описывается положительное влияние эксперимента на отношения в группе. В ходе исследования авторы отмечают, что поэтапное выполнение работы в специальных ролевых звеньях стимулирует принятие ответственности обучающегося за свое обучение. Помимо этого, рассмотрены особенности влияния групповой ответственности и преимущества применения этой схемы для дистанционного обучения. The authors of the paper attach special importance to the development of information skills in the educational process. They were inspired by the ideas of pedagogical constructivism and the system of mutual learning. The paper focuses on the problem of presentation of learning material as an integral part of the educational process. The authors of the paper were able to identify a number of shortcomings in the usual scheme of traditional presentation of the material, which prompted them to work on the material being presented, adding levels and sequence of their presentation. The paper describes the influence of the responsibility factor on the degree of involvement of students. Based on the results of these studies, the authors were able to create an innovative scheme for conducting training sessions. When calculating the duration of active attention of students in creating the scheme, they took into account such a modern trend as clip thinking. Thanks to the proposed scheme, the usual transfer of information from one to several has been transformed into collective work. The paper describes the positive impact of the experiment on the relationships in the group. In the course of the study, the authors note that step-by-step performance of work in special role links encourages students to take responsibility for their training. In addition, the paper discusses the impact of group responsibility and the advantages of using this scheme for distance learning.
