Digital Skills

The relevance of this research is substantiated by an interesting phenomenon that has occurred in the last decade: the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are based on digitalization of not only products and processes, but also people's behavior at work and outside it.  The author reviews digital skills as the “third basket”, which is equally as significant as the “baskets” of professional and “soft” skills. Therefore, analysis is conducted on the experience of facts and cases presented by dozens of Russian and international educational institutions for determining the leading practices of digital education. The author describes the key determinants of digital literacy. The following conclusions were made : 1) digital education is based on the principles that differ drastically from other tools, sets new goals, focusing on the approaches that blow up the traditional university methods; 2) IBM “Facing The Storm” research indicates that massive shortage of digital skills among personnel is a storm that is brewing on the horizon; 3) research of the BFR (Big Fast Results) institute reflects the mechanism of implementing educational and managerial processes within the paradigm of digital literacy; 4) the presented research covers a wide range of empirical data, which allows all parties to the educational process to form digital learning environment strongly contributing to development of the currently relevant “soft” skills.

Today the world is in the process of rapid informatization and digitalization of society in all its spheres. The way and pace of life of a modern man is not similar to the life of previous generations. The spread of the coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, has necessitated acceptance and adaptation to new working and learning conditions for educators from different countries. Educational institutions around the world are responding to numerous prohibitions and quarantine rules with the transition to distance learning. The crisis has already caused an online boom for education and forced teachers to be preparedto deal with this atypical situation. The most powerful source today is digital technology, or as they call it - digital learning tools, which implies competent use of the latest gadgets. Of course, global changes in public life cannot take place without changes in the educational space, so our education system now follows the experience of advanced European countries and implements many programs for the formation and development of digital literacy, including at the educational level. Definitely, Ukrainian education system follows the experience of advanced New Ukrainian School provides for the widespread use of information and communication technologies by each teacher in their own professional and pedagogical activities, which is an essential way to update and informatize the education content in different education institutions of our country.

Digital education is now one of the main drivers of the country's economic development. Mastery in digital skills is becoming increasingly important in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the internet of things as well as technology-based teaching and learning processes. However, all these agenda towards digital development is seen as a mere rhetorical statement if the digital divide is still wide in the country. Thus, this article takes the initiative to dismantle the digital education policy implementation in the country and also attempts to see how strategies will be applied to reduce the digital divide in education. Success in ensuring the reduction of the digital divide is important to further increase the rate of digital literacy and at the same time fostering the process of innovation in society. The emphasis on digital education is also seen in line with the 4th sustainable development goal which is to access quality education and the 10th goal which is to reduce inequality. The discussion from this concept paper then produces some recommendations for future research to studies on the aspects of policy and strategies improvement needed in bridging the digital divide in the country.

An efficient organization of the educational process within rapid acceleration of the society digitization is impossible without increasing its digital literacy, if the latter is really estimated and new models of digital learning didactics are devel-oped respectively. So, it is necessary to study an actual state of digital literacy, as well as to search for and introduce new learning models in the educational system based on the use of modern innovative technologies and digital learning methods. The objective of the research is to examine the level of the digital literacy of teachers, and also opportunities and promising trends within the digital didactics for the formation of competencies as the basis of a new model for the develop-ment of a new learning model in the context of the formation of the digital knowledge society. Two main methods have been used – elaboration of the ab-stract and logical model and a survey. In the research the data obtained as a result of the survey conducted in 2018 by NAFI Analytical Centre related to the meas-urement of the digital literacy level of teachers and lecturers in Russia were used. The number of respondents made up 634 lecturers (higher education) as well as 555 teachers (general education). The digital literacy formation model was devel-oped based on the didactic learning triangle taking into account the synthesis of three learning environments – real, virtual and neurocognitive. The analysis of the survey data demonstrated that in the aggregate of the compared indices for differ-ent social groups of the population, school teachers and lecturers of higher educa-tional institutions have reached the higher level of the digital literacy, which sig-nificantly exceeds the average Russian level. So, in Russia as a whole the index of the digital literacy of the adult population by a similar measurement method makes up 52% out of 100% possible ones, school teachers – 87%, lecturers of higher educational institutions – 88%. The use of research results in practice is possible with the improvement of training programs, the exchange of internation-al experience and further researches.

The Russian Language

The aim of the article is to describe the principles of cloud technology and the scope of its use at a lesson of the Russian language in a polylingual class. Following the analysis of scientific and methodological literature on digital education, new technologies are suggested which have been introduced in a new type of handbook – a course navigator. The authors present a model to construct a course «Theatrical readings» for primary and secondary schoolchildren. The methodical constructor is oriented not only on reading as a kind of speech activity but also on material visualization and audio perception. The system of tasks reflects the specific nature of teaching Russian by means of fiction texts, teaching reading strategies and fiction understanding with the application of differential, problem search methods of teaching. When constructing the educational navigator the resources of the Google Network were used, which is a useful instrument for a teacher of Russian. This service allows for a favorable combination of various forms of tasks which form a motivation for cognitive activity. The article concludes that cloud technology as an element of digital learning in the modern educational process should emerge as a set of teaching tools to create methodical products contributing to the effective study of Russian linguistic culture.

Fact Finding

The digital economy and the rapidly developing digital society have an impact on the training of modern teachers and put forward requirements for the level of development of their digital literacy, digital skills and, ultimately, the level of digital culture. However, current regulatory documents do not always reflect the current requirements for teachers’ digital competencies and do not offer tools to measure their level of formation. The authors analyzed the existing frameworks of digital competencies and offered a model of the modern school teachers’ digital culture, its technological component, for its introduction into the educational process of teacher training. The article describes the elements of the model, normative documents and theoretical provisions that underlie it. The first stage of digital culture formation is considered in educational (fact-finding) practice for curricula formed according to FSES 3++. The objectives of the practice are formulated, competencies are selected from the educational standard, its content, thematic planning and planned results in the form of a decomposition of digital skills from the model of the digital culture of the teacher are determined. This type of practice is being implemented at the university for the first time and sets the task of forming the foundation of the model, namely, general user ICT competence (digital literacy).

Purpose of the study: Sociological analysis of the university education digitalization; identifying the evaluative positions for the educational process agents; study of motivational factors for applying to online courses; comparative analysis of evaluative positions in terms of information exchange effectiveness in the digital learning environment and education quality. Methodology: We utilize sociological survey and comparative analysis to identify significant motivations of agents, to evaluate the quality of education by criteria of freedom of choice, preference for the learning format, individualization of the educational route. The empirical base consists of sociological data obtained by online and offline questioning. Principal Findings: The revealed trends of diversity and target conjugation in the university educational environment agent’s positions reflect the institutional shifts in the educational system. These bring about changes in the social role repertoire, the revision of norms and values in the context of the rapid growth of digital practices. Applications of this study: The study results can serve as a basis for improving the university's educational policy and technologies for information support of the educational process. Identifying the problem points of agency and their target conjugation seems to be a tool of social technology to achieve the effectiveness of digital education. Novelty of this study: We give accent to multi-agent approach in the study of distance learning, a comprehensive assessment of information exchange and motivational factors of interacting agents in the university educational environment, education quality evaluation by the criterion of meeting the expectations of students, teachers and administration in the context of learning environment digitalization.

Humanity’s progress is determined by its spiritual, intellectual and physical potential. The role of each of them is equally important. All types of potential capabilities are developed through the process of learning and education, which have their own types of resources and technologies to ensure the quality of education and health. The digital learning environment is a new kind of educational resource that has emerged as a result of technological advances in this century. Based on a comparative analysis, the reasons for the emergence of a new form of didactogeny in the digital educational environment: nomophobia, caused by smartphone addiction among young people, have been identified. The method of theoretical analysis of relevant publications allowed for the propagation level of this form of didactogeny to be revealed. The result: 53% of UK residents suffer from nomophobia, while in Russia only 3 teenagers out of 68 subjects were able to go without a using phone for 8 hours and engage in intellectual activities, from which they gained satisfaction and new knowledge. An empirical questionnaire study showed that 41.29 per cent of young people in Russia’s student population reported being overloaded with information from various types of sources. Conclusions: there are no formal health and hygiene requirements for the digital learning environment; ‘cliched’ thinking is widespread among the new generation; an emotional overload of students is emerging, which leads to neuroticism and depression; new forms of didactogenia such as nomophobia are developing in the educational process; low digital academic literacy is diagnosed among educational process participants.
