Shown is, why the formula “it was the industrial revolutions that were the factors of main transformations of education” underlying the strategic project for using digital means in education in the former Soviet countries cannot be taken as an unconditional one. It is proved that the using digital means in education as a strategic project should, first of all, be aimed at teaching digital technologies in the framework of vocational education and at training the elite category of workers for the development of scientific and technological progress.

Industrial Revolutions

The advent of Industrial Revolutions that swept the region has not spared the Malaysian business landscape.  This has compelled industries to produce highly skilled workforce (Yizit and Yezim Denis, 2018) to promote knowledge-based skills in various sectors in Malaysia. Anticipating this change, the Malaysian Government initiated Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program to address the issue during the early 90’s. However, the current highly pedagogical supply driven TVET system has not addressed the need to effectively upskill and reskill workforce talents to achieve maximum productivity. Hence, this study, which is grounded on empowerment theory, aims to develop mechanisms to skew the path towards industry-driven TVET by adopting heutagogical approaches that promotes lifelong and independent adult learning (Blaschke, 2012). The study will be executed using sequential exploratory design (mixed method) beginning with qualitative followed by a quantitative study by collecting samples via stratified random and proportional sampling technique whereby a framework will be developed to enable Government policymakers an impetus to formulate relevant strategies that forges the collaboration between the industry and academia.

Consumer Cooperatives

The term "digital economy" was coined by Nicholas Negroponte in 1995.this concept includes the development of digital technologies, acceleration of scientific and technological progress, and changes in the communication paradigm. The demassification of production, the need for continuous innovation, and the transition to horizontal relationships within the organization lead to one of the largest economic revolutions of recent times. The transition of society to the digital economy determines the transformation of the management mechanism of consumer cooperation organizations in order to ensure their competitiveness in the current and long-term perspective. The use of the latest technologies, based on traditional cooperative values, opens up wide opportunities for the formation and active development of a new generation of cooperation.

Chronic Anxiety

The paper considers the alarmism inherent in humanity regarding changes caused by the entry into life of achievements of scientific and technological progress. It is noted that all opponents of progress use the fruits of his previous achievements, but at the same time express fears about newly emerging innova­tions, since they cause discomfort, bringing to the world something unusual, in relation to which tradition has not yet constituted. It is quite expected that similar phobias are also caused by the development of digital technologies – fears about the digital degradation of youth, fear of artificial intelligence, etc. In the digital world, however, there is another reason for the rejection of progress. This is the pace of the emergence and invasion of a novelty into the space of human exis­tence. Whereas in previous eras, adaptation to innovations passed through sev­eral generations, today radical transformations of the technological and, as a re­sult, socioeconomic infrastructure occur many times in the course of one human life. A qualitative leap in the speed of socio-technological development and the problems generated by the new temporality of the digital world in the conditions of a sharp narrowing of the horizon of foresight form chronic anxiety, which is based on doubts about the future, the correctness of the chosen life path and even the consistency of ideas about the meaning of life and human destination, gained in the process of modern upbringing and education.

The Impact

Introduction. The relevance of this problem lies in its insufficient study in comparative pedagogy. Modern society in many countries of the world, based on market relations, seeks to create an environment with the widespread use of information technologies, makes high demands on school graduates who must be ready to realistically assess the level of their abilities and social skills, make an informed choice of their future profession, and competently build communication with social institutions and employers. The purpose of the article is to identify and characterize the impact of digital technologies on the competitiveness and vocational education of high school students in the economically developed countries, such as USA and Singapore. Research methodology and methods. Analysis of scientific literature, initiatives and projects in the two studied countries in the field of introducing digital technologies into the practice of vocational education showed the feasibility of introducing new technologies and forms of organizing training. Research results. The article emphasizes that the emergence of new digital technologies and the pandemic in early 2020 have fundamentally changed the usual patterns of behavior and practice in every country. In the United States, in 2020, due to Covid-19, the “Workplace” simulator model has become widespread, allowing high school students to acquire work skills in selected clusters (specialties) as successfully as if they worked in a real workplace, and in Singapore new technology of 3D virtual reality contributed to the acquisition of professional competencies by high school students and to increase their competitiveness. Conclusion. The study of the impact of the introduction of digital technologies in the professional education of students in the United States and Singapore is of important, not only theoretical, but also practical value, since it contributes to the competitiveness of graduates of educational organizations.

In this paper, I use interviews with forty-two millennial young adults in the United States to explore their understandings of the role of digital media technologies in their relationship lives. Despite coming of age in an increasingly digitized society, these young adults have a complicated view of using digital technologies to forge and sustain their relationships. They contrast the pitfalls of their own digitally mediated relationships with those relationships that are created and sustained without the influence of digital technologies. They assume the latter to be more organic, natural, less prone to trouble, and authentic, and often characterize the influence of digital technologies as impeding their ability to find good relationships. However, while projecting their relationship worries onto digital technologies helps young adults resolve their larger anxieties about intimate relationships, it may also have unintended consequences for how young adults think about social relationships and technological progress more broadly.

Purpose Currently, the hype surrounding digitalization proclaims that the way in which companies create and capture value will change dramatically. Companies that adjust their business models to embrace digital technologies will need different skill sets and competences. Current research tends to focus on the impact of digital technologies on corporations or more generally the labor market, but the authors lack detailed insights into how companies perceive this development to influence their needs regarding employee qualifications. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore how companies perceive the impact of digital technologies on the education and training needs of current and future employees. Design/methodology/approach This study draws on eight case studies from the food industry. It focuses on one occupation certified within the German “dual system” of vocational education and training (VET), the machine and plant operator with focus on food technology. Findings The findings suggest that the impact of different digital technologies on employees’ job positions, working tasks and training needs is carefully considered in decisions regarding the implementation of digital technologies. Despite some company-specific contingencies, the perceived implications for VET needs are largely similar across the sample. Originality/value This study draws attention to the importance of reviewing VET needs in relation to the decision of implementing digital technologies.
