The Impact

In the context of digital education, internet-based digital platforms, applications and infocommunication tools and systems have advanced significantly in the educational process, moving beyond the technical solutions of teaching and learning to a technology-based approach to learning, becoming part of the methodological and technological culture (Benedek, 2016). As a result of the ever-changing economic, social and technological environment, the necessary new phenomena and innovation directions of the paradigm shift in pedagogy are clearly emerging (Lükö, 2007). The area of digital competences, which are necessary for the way of life predestined by today's information society, is of particular importance among the competences of teachers (Molnár, 2018) (Kővári, 2020). In this challenging digital world, the latest ICT-based interactive technologies, e-learning environments, digital, micro-content-based interactive curricular content (Benedek.et.al, 2019), flipped learning methods (Buda, 2017) and experiential pedagogy methodologies (Fromann, 2017) are of great help. In our study, we present some of the theoretical models (TPACK, SAMR), development trends, ICT-based teaching methods and technologies highlighted by pedagogical theorists, which have been particularly effective in digital work-based learning. Our aim was to investigate the impact of digital tools and content on learning. In addition to decades of teaching experience, our findings are supported by a quantitative large sample survey (N=141) of students conducted in spring 2021. The results obtained confirmed the prominent role of digital tools and open digital curricular content in making the learning process more effective, especially in the period of digital work-based education, in a time of pandemic.

The Impact

The virtualization of socio-economic processes is expressed in the development of various types of economic activities in the Internet computer network, acting as the infrastructure of the modern economic system, a catalyst for globalization processes, and the main means of communication between computers, information systems of various purposes and complexity, and people. The study of the theoretical and methodological problem of digital economy virtualization processes is due to the importance of determining the structure of virtualization as a set of interconnected industries, consumption, markets, and finance on the Internet. The elements of the system combine the types of economic activities, which include entrepreneurship on the Internet, as well as information and intellectual activities. The study of this problem was carried out using empirical methods of cognition of the structure of the system analysis of digital economy virtualization processes, along with the use of scientometric methods for reviewing the methodology of the educational process for training digital economy personnel and improving their qualifications as a precursor to the design of production processes, consumption, market and financial processes occurring in a digital environment. The conducted studies make it possible to obtain scientific results in the field of structuring the socio-economic processes of virtualization, namely: a dichotomy of virtualization processes in the digital economy is proposed, taking into account the factor of education; the positive and negative consequences of virtualization for the economy and society as a whole are identified. It was concluded in the course of the study that the system analysis of digital economy virtualization processes should be based on the development of the educational component and reflect the environment of virtualization processes, including digital platforms, which, first, form the global infrastructure of the world economy; second, they contribute to the development of entrepreneurship; third, they provide production, consumer, market and financial functions and corporate governance; fourth, they are a source of network externalities that create new social and economic problems. The prospect for further research is the development of a model for assessing the impact of the structure of virtualization processes on economic growth in the digital economy.

The Impact

In recent decades, almost all areas of human activity are undergoing rapid digitalization and the introduction of artificial intelligence, which fundamentally affect social relations within society. In addition to the obvious benefits of using human-like intelligence in the modern digital world, there may also be negative consequences associated, first of all, with the processes of making important, large-scale management decisions by the cyber-management of a digital society. The problem of the impact on social security of decision-making by artificial intelligence in a digital society has not been sufficiently studied. The article considers the main social aspects of the problems related to the consequences of artificial intelligence making decisions. The main focus is the impact of decisions made by cyber managers on the social stability of a digital society. Some features of the emerging social relations “human – artificial intelligence”, “Manager – Cyber-manager” are considered. Based on analyzing the impact of the consequences of decision-making by artificial intelligence on social relations, a number of changes in the training system for digitalization processes are proposed, and requirements for the competence of specialists in developing and operating human-like intelligence are formulated. Based on the practical requirements of the modern IT sphere, the author has developed and introduced into the educational process a number of cycles of interdisciplinary lectures and practical seminars for future IT specialists in a digital society. A number of solutions to pedagogical problems related to the development of the analytical and creative abilities of future specialists, of architects and developers of cyber-systems and of managerial decision-making are proposed.

Training Of Personnel

The article considers the aspects of organizing targeted training of personnel for mining enterprises in the region in the context of its innovative development. Based on the analysis of various approaches to the diversification of the region’s economy, two main ones are identified: process and cluster, a reasonable combination of which can provide the required potential for innovative development of the coal industry and related sectors of the region’s economy. Special emphasis is placed on the training of personnel, without which it is impossible to introduce innovations in all key areas and at the main stages of the activities of coal companies. At the same time, globalization and the emergence of a new digital world and information society have created new perspectives in understanding the essence of adult education, which in the digital economy has its own characteristics, and new approaches are required to solve the problems of training personnel in a high-quality way. In these conditions, the education system appears as a network of active participants with a variety of educational practices, the presence of which is determined by personal and professional needs. It is necessary to ensure the transition from general, technological and algorithmic adult educational practices to unique and individual ones. The point of such a transition is not to discover new ones, but to select individual combinations of existing practices, strategies, and technologies. Individualized selection of sets of practices and educational strategies is becoming the dominant trend in adult education in the modern era. Practical implementation of the considered aspects will allow us to build the educational process in a different way and mutually beneficial interaction of organizations of additional professional education with consumers of educational services, which will ensure the practical implementation of models of harmonization and “economic rebranding” of the resource-intensive region, the creation of an institutional infrastructure for its harmonious development.

The Impact

Background: The wide use of digital tools in teaching requires a hygienic assessment of their impact on the health and lifestyle of students. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of the digital environment on the health and lifestyle of adolescents, depending on the duration of use of electronic learning tools in educational and leisure activities. Methods: An anonymous online questionnaire-based survey of 111 high school and college students was conducted to establish their screen time in the educational process, when performing homework and at leisure, as well as indicators of wellbeing and lifestyle and health complaints. In addition, learning conditions in college computer classes, such as illumination, microclimate, air ionization, levels of electromagnetic fields, airborne concentrations of phenol and formaldehyde were assessed. Modern statistical methods (Student’s t-test, chi-squared test) and methods of evidence-based medicine were applied. Results and discussion: Almost 66 % of the respondents reported using electronic teaching aids (a computer or laptop) at school three or more times a week and severer symptoms of fatigue after such classes. Complaints typical of adult professional users were not common in adolescents, except for visual impairment over the past year (48.6 %). In computer classes, microclimate parameters were far from being optimal: illumination was lower than the regulated values; the levels of electromagnetic fields, ionization, and indoor air concentrations of phenol and formaldehyde were comparable to the appropriate standard values. We observed a high involvement of adolescents in the use of digital tools at home for educational purposes and especially at leisure. The intensive use of Internet (more than 4 hours a day) was associated with frequent complaints of headaches, visual impairment, sleep disorders, and poor self-assessment of the physical shape that may be attributed to the established decreasing number of teenagers engaged in physical culture and sports. Conclusion: The length of time spent in the Internet space for homework and leisure activities affects students’ health and lifestyle. This indicates the need to develop and implement preventive and educational programs for adolescents in order to minimize health risks posed by digital environment and confirmed by outcomes of distance learning.
