In the next seven years, the Russian economy will have to switch to digital technology and digital product. The purpose of the article is to establish general recommendations to develop and implement digital competencies. The subject of the research is the set of necessary digital competencies and their ranking. To make it easier for people to adapt to the digital economy, the authors of the article conducted a survey among the chief executives of leading enterprises in Nizhnevartovsk to predict which digital competencies need to be taken into account in professional training. In addition, the research revealed additional features that a person should possess, e.g. the information consumption culture and decisiveness. The modern Russian professional education framework is setting a new educational paradigm for students and lifelong learning. This includes fundamental changes in the professional objectives of higher education. Therefore, the training must adapt to the new contextual requirements. The article provides reflections on building a profile of digital competencies for areas of higher education training that correspond to the current context and new scenario, including those that are a cross-cutting axis for other professional competencies that become relevant in the educational domain. Our research and analysis revealed areas for the further development of digital competencies, as well as three basic principles that are crucial for the successful design and advancement of new programmes in professional education. Standardized mass education in the field of digital economy is no longer relevant. Now taxonomy defines the skills that need to be included into the digital economy through a wide range of professions. This article provides a new insight into the role of competence transition from education to the labor market. To understand today’s demand for new skills and elaborate on how it might change over the next 5-10 years, we recruited employers to identify the competencies that they consider essential.

Digital Competencies

The need for developing a teacher’s digital competency requires the creation of a fundamental scientific base for the process of training teachers and their professional development to enable them to work in the context of digitization of general education. In the Covid-19 pandemic, global transformations are taking place in the field of education. All regions of Russia have switched completely into remote mode. According to Interfax, based on the research of the Higher School of Economics NRU, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is the best in Russia in terms of technical equipment for teachers and schoolchildren today. This study covered 22,600 teachers in 73 regions of the country. In Yakutia 61% of teachers conduct online learning, while the average in Russia is 25%. However, the common problem across all regions is that teachers, schoolchildren and their parents lack psychological readiness for a complete transition to digital education. This explains the emerging situation of conflict, background stress, as well as frequent cases of imitative distance education and e-learning. In this regard, there is a need to discuss the problems facing education in the digitization process and the need to overcome them. This paper analyses the current situation in school education in the context of digitization and a universal transition to online learning. Graduate students of the NEFU Institute for Continuing Professional Education conducted a survey of teachers and school leaders. This was aimed at identifying attitudes towards the process of digitization of school education and ownership of ICT, and some digital competencies of teachers and educational leaders. The results confirmed the relevance of the research problem and revealed the most acute contradictions associated with the lack of digital competencies among teachers in Yakutia. The study examined modern conceptual approaches to the digitization of education, the identification of digital competencies of teachers, and the development of objective measurement tools. A digital teacher competency map is being developed, with a toolkit that integrates key competencies of the digital economy and digital competencies, together with tester program (a digital simulator) to identify the formation of: (a) a set of the teacher’s core competencies in the digital economy and (b) a set of teachers’ digital competencies. The following factors were taken into account in developing the tools: conceptual approaches in modern scientific and pedagogical research to identify, identify and assess the level of formation of digital competencies of a modern teacher; methodological substantiation of cognitive modeling of the competencies studied; assumptions of the most optimal combinations of key and digital competencies for teachers of different subject areas and levels of education; interconnection and interdependence of some professional deficits associated with a deficit of key and digital competencies.

From the beginning of the 21st century, digital competencies are perceived as a "requirement and right," as a "life/basic skill". The purpose of this article is to justify the creation of a blitz-survey, designed and conducted to determine the level of digital competence of students. The completed research will try to answer the question of how training in Faculty of Engineering and Technology develops the digital competence of students - future engineers, which factors influence the development and attitudes to improve this type of competence. The spectrum of components in the digital competencies is defined when developing the conceptual model of the study. The research model also reflects European documents in this area, the needs, and requirements of the labour market related to the training of engineers and the new approaches and paradigms in higher education. The questions were provisionally divided into seven sections, which also have connecting links. At this stage, the study was carried out with 280 students. The end goal of the scientific research is to suggest strategies for adapting the training of the students to the European requirements and the needs of the labour market in order to improve their employment status, their adaptiveness, and their professional development.

The digitalization of the education system imposes certain circumstances not only on the organization of the educational process and the training of specialists in demand in the modern world, but also on the skills of a teacher in the field of information and communication technologies. Within the framework of this article, an analysis of Russian and foreign approaches to defining a set of digital competencies necessary for a modern teacher of higher education is carried out. The purpose of this study is to determine an objective diagnostic toolkit for identifying the level of digital competencies among teachers of higher institutions. Based on the analysis of Russian and foreign experience in the development of digital competence among teachers, including a higher education teacher, an internal questionnaire was developed to assess the level of formation of the necessary digital skills. Data collection was carried out through an online survey of teachers using a structured questionnaire. A survey of university teachers was conducted in order to identify the readiness to use digital technologies in the educational process. The data obtained during the survey made it possible to obtain objective information about the level of formation of digital competencies among teachers and their readiness to use digital tools and technologies in the educational process. University teachers have demonstrated high results in such competencies as the use of digital solutions for effective communication of students on academic assignments; creating your own digital resources; creation and modification of digital educational materials, inclusion of students in group work using the Internet, including online services for joint project activities; taking into account the individual characteristics and needs of students in the educational process; exchange of ideas and materials with colleagues from other educational organizations, including through cloud systems, advanced training through online training.
