Pedagogical digital competence can be characterised as an opportunity to improve the pedagogical process by using digital technologies in professional activities (From, 2017). In 2017, the European Commission presented a model of pedagogical digital competence, viewing teacher professional pedagogical competence, as well as demonstrating their impact and developing students’ digital literacy (Redecker, 2017). The aim of this study is to research pedagogical digital competence and its planned acquisition in one teacher professional bachelor study programme. As a result of the analysis of the theoretical literature, the concept of digital literacy and pedagogical competence was defined, and the understanding of pedagogical digital competence was provided. The empirical research looked at 1553 learning outcomes advertised in 201 course descriptions of one teacher professional bachelor study programme and analysed them from the perspective of pedagogical digital competence. As a result of the study, a concept-model of pedagogical digital competence was developed.

The Impact

In modern conditions of overall informatization, the majorities of children of older pre-school age actively use gadgets and have access to the Internet. However, just one-fourth of parents demonstrate concerns about digital security. That is why the issues associated with cybersecurity training in preschool education, legislative regulation in ensuring the security and development of children in a digital environment are relevant for present-day pre-school education. The study was based on the activities carried out by teachers and psychologists of the methodology association of the Leninsky district of Yekaterinburg. The methods used in the study involved observations, the analysis of information obtained through counseling and psychological checks, interviews, surveys of instructors and specialists dealing with parents in kindergarten. As a result, we revealed the problems with digital competence among all the participants of the process of upbringing and education and defined the impact of parents on the formation of digital literacy. Of special interest is a new position when the modern parent is given a “relief” from a child with the help of gadgets, which calls for family psychological support on pre-schoolers’ secure use of digital technologies. The main task of working with parents is to shape perceptions of the problems associated with free contacts of the child with information technologies and the necessity to control digital information received by the child.

Abstract The present article brings critical media research and science and technology studies (STS) into dialogue with approaches to digital literacy and digital competencies in educational contexts. In particular, it focuses on material aspects of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as technical infrastructure, economic conditions, ecological consequences, and code-based as well as embodied forms of impact, and argues that digital applications and devices have ambiguous and often contradictory affordances and effects that need to be addressed in academic literature and pedagogical practice. The main objective is to inform on-going debates on the nature and content of digital literacy and digital competence from a critical materialist vantage point, and to facilitate learning and teaching about, rather than with, digital technologies by highlighting salient issue areas in need of continued critical attention.

Введение. Диагностика уровня владения сотрудниками компетенциями, необходимыми для работы в цифровой образовательной среде, является важнейшей составляющей, отражающей процессы, происходящие в современных образовательных системах. Выбор диагностической карты как инструмента измерения позволит определить потребности и дефициты педагогов в профессиональных компетенциях по проектированию, разработке и реализации дополнительных профессиональных программ в формате цифровых образовательных ресурсов. Инструмент дает возможность судить о состоянии уровня владения сотрудниками данными компетенциями и формулировать прогноз его развития. Цель – выявление уровня профессиональной компетентности научно-педагогических работников, необходимых для работы в цифровой образовательной среде. Материал и методы. Методологической основой исследования стала психологическая концепция субъектно-деятельностного подхода, суть которой заключается в представлении о личности как активном субъекте, самосовершенствующемся, самоактуализирующемся и самоопределяющемся. Идея данного подхода строится на связи познавательных и деятельностных механизмов включенности субъекта во внешнюю среду и предполагает наличие у него устойчивой личностной позиции по собственному преобразованию и развитию. Предложен подход к оцениванию, который принят в эффективно работающих организациях, принявших за основу методологию самообучающихся организаций. Результаты и обсуждение. Представлен анализ результатов проведенной диагностики уровня владения сотрудниками компетенциями, необходимыми для работы в цифровой образовательной среде, в том числе для проектирования и реализации дополнительных профессиональных программ в формате цифровых образовательных ресурсов. Проведенное исследование позволило определить влияние цифрового образовательного пространства на профессиональное развитие педагогов и выявить уровень их готовности к участию в дидактических коммуникациях с применением цифровых технологий. Заключение. Диагностика в полной мере позволила оценить уровень владения сотрудниками Челябинского института переподготовки и повышения квалификации работников образования (ЧИППКРО) компетенциями, необходимыми для работы в цифровой образовательной среде, в том числе для разработки и реализации дополнительных профессиональных программ в формате цифровых образовательных ресурсов. Так, после предложенного ряда форм повышения квалификации для преподавателей ЧИППКРО, в декабре 2021 г. будет проведена повторная диагностика, которая покажет динамику повышения профессиональной компетентности в части работы в цифровой образовательной среде. Introduction. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that today, in the period of the accelerating process of development and implementation of e-learning and distance learning technologies, the creation of a promising educational system, it is necessary to anticipate and forestall the emerging very contradictory problems. One of them is the demand for scientific and pedagogical workers who possess the necessary skills to carry out work in the electronic information and educational environment of the institute, and their insufficient training for the successful application of these technologies in professional activities. The goal is to identify the level of professional competence of scientific and pedagogical workers in order to organize activities in the digital educational environment. Material and methods. The methodological basis of the study was the psychological concept of the subject-activity approach, the essence of which lies in the idea of the person as an active subject, self-improving, self-actualizing and self-determining. The idea of this approach is based on the connection between the cognitive and activity mechanisms of the subject’s involvement in the external environment and assumes that he has a stable personal position on his own transformation and development. No less important is the second approach – acmeological – increasing the teacher’s professional competencies through informal forms of professional development. Results and discussion. The article presents an analysis of the problem of training scientific and pedagogical workers for the development of additional professional programs developed in the format of digital educational resources in the context of an accelerated change in the social and professional environment due to the expansion of digital technologies. The authors’ attention is focused on diagnosing digital competencies of specialists. The study of the digital competence of the scientific and pedagogical workers of the institute made it possible to determine the influence of the digital educational space on their professional development and to reveal the level of their readiness to participate in didactic communications using digital technologies. Conclusion. Thus, it should be noted that the diagnostics made it possible to fully assess the level of the institute’s employees with the competencies necessary to work in a digital educational environment, including for the development and implementation of additional professional programs in the format of digital educational resources. So, after the proposed number of forms of advanced training for teachers of the institute, in December 2021, a second diagnosis will be carried out, which will show the dynamics of increasing professional competence in terms of work in a digital educational environment.

Researched are factors that prevent teachers from realizing their information and communication competence in their professional activities and identifying opportunities to overcome them. To achieve this goal, the paper analyzes the results of modern scientific, theoretical and sociological research. Digital literacy of a teacher is considered in the article as an integral component of his information and communication competence, which ensures the effective development of the entire system of digitalization of education at the university. The paper focuses on the study of the components of the digital aspect of this competence, which determine the content of the relevant training. An important place is given to identifying the real level of information and communication competence of modern teachers, including those related to distance learning technologies, as well as determining the reasons that affect the lack of activity of teachers in educational-digital activity. The results of the study allow to conclude that the main problems of the development of the faculty of the graduate school of information and communicative competence (including digital) and its full realization in professional activity are: lack of certainty of the digital aspect of competence, weak system of motivation of teachers to master and apply digital tools and technology in professional activities, insufficient resources, technical and financial support of teachers in the implementation of their digital competence.

Digital Competencies

This research paper presents the results of the author’s survey aimed at assessing the digital competence of modern university teachers. The relevance of digital competencies is becoming more and more obvious due to the transformations in the activities of educational organizations. These changes concern the use of digital technologies not only in university management, but also directly in the educational process. The development of distance learning and remote interaction formats is an objective reality in the modern world. The purpose of this article is to make an attempt of assessing a university teacher’s digital competence level based on the general perception of his/her abilities and the digital technologies used in his/her professional activities. The author analyses the teachers’ readiness to use digital technologies and their attitude to distance learning. The study showed that the majority of the interviewed teachers have a high level of basic and universal digital competencies. It was found that most of the respondents already have experience of taking online courses to improve their professional skills. The analysis makes it possible to conclude that the teachers who participated in the survey demonstrate a high readiness to use digital technologies in their professional activities. The author’s study is not supposed to give a complete picture of all Russian university teachers’ digital competence level, since this requires both greater coverage of respondents and the use of other channels (beyond digital) to collect data within the survey. At the same time, this research allows to formulate possible ideas for improving Russian university teachers’ digital competence level, which nowadays becomes the key to improving their effectiveness. The results of the study can be used when working out universities’ personnel development programs in order to ensure a higher level of the teachers’ digital competence.
