The Impact

The digitalization of the economy and society requires not only technical and technological changes, but also the transformation of employee competencies in accordance with modern requirements for the professional qualification level of employees of the digital economy. The purpose of the work is to study the institutional and organizational factors of formation and development of digital competencies in the context of digitalization of the economy and society. The research uses an abstract-logical method, a systematic approach and methods of institutional analysis, a hypothetical method and deductions. The paper examines the approaches to the definition of “digital skills”, “digital competencies”, “digital literacy”, which are key in the Concept of digital competencies. The assessment of the consistency of the action plan for the implementation of the Concept of development of digital competencies with the declared tasks for the formation and development of digital competencies of citizens is given. Approaches to the classification and separation of levels of digital competence are considered. Emphasis is placed on the need to update the competency models of workers in all industries in connection with changes in labor functions, objects and means of work, requirements for knowledge, skills and abilities of staff under the influence of digitalization of the economy and society. Conclusions are made about the inconsistency of professional and educational standards with the needs of the modern labor market, which causes the mismatch of competencies of graduates of educational institutions to the needs and requirements of employers. The impact of digitalization processes on the transformation of key competencies and their combination, the emergence of new professions requires constant monitoring and consideration in regulations in order to harmonize digital, labor and educational development.

The Impact

University students are expected to have the appropriate digital competence to face the demands of the changing educational model and to meet the challenges of the future work. This paper describes university students’ perceptions of digital competence and analyzes the impact of personal factors on digital competence in a sample of 5164 students from all majors in the first and fourth year of their studies at Gansu Agricultural University (China). A quantitative methodology was followed, employing a non-experimental method and the survey technique to collect data. The results obtained show that students’ perceptions of digital competencies in terms of information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, and safety were positive. Furthermore, there were significant differences in students’ self-perceptions of digital competence related to gender, grade level, area of residence, and prior relevant training in the DigComp framework-based instrument. The development of key competency areas for digital competence, such as the creation of digital content, should be promoted, along with helping students to gain knowledge when dealing with everyday technological issues. The need for training related to the use of ICT and digital competencies was also highlighted, as well as supporting the promotion of female students in selected areas of digital competence and assisting lower grade students and students from rural areas in digital competence development.

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.

The new era creates new opportunities and poses a number of challenges for education to adapt to the emerging prospects of digital transformation of educational activities. The article provides a brief analysis of domestic and foreign works on the problems of digitalization in education. It is shown that, along with the benefits offered by the digital space, there are many problems of its use in educational activities. The solution of these problems is primarily associated with the training of teachers to use new opportunities for the organization and implementation of distance learning forms, the development of their digital competencies. At the same time, it has been shown that in both foreign and domestic universities, students in their majority prefer contact forms of classes and want a live dialogue with teachers, despite their rather high digital literacy. Therefore, the emerging digital didactics is very important to determine the ratio of traditional and distance learning will be able to provide a comfortable learning environment and a high level of training of future specialists. These and other questions can be answered by digital didactics, which has not yet been developed by scientists and educational practitioners.

Objective - Developing self-regulated actors in digital transformation of pre-digital organization is a critical and strategic issue. This article aims to examine and explain the historical development of self-regulated actors from an organizational behaviour perspective. By testing the impact of digital skill individually, digital leadership as group factor, and digital culture and digital mindset as organizational factors on self-regulating actor development, this article will gain insightful understanding in leading digital transformation. Methodology/Technique - This article is based on a cross-sectional study which involved 321 permanent staff or employees of the leading state-owned company in the Indonesian pharmaceutical industry. The collected data is structured and analysis with SmartPLS version 3. 0 as PLS-SEM application. Findings - The analysis results explain that self-regulating actors are influenced by digital skills, digital leadership, and digital culture directly, but are influenced by digital mindset indirectly. Digital mindset of top management teams will impact on self-regulated actor development, if it is directed to strengthen digital culture, then digital culture will impact on digital skills. Novelty - Digital culture impacts self-regulating actor development more directly than digital mind set of top management team in the pre-digital organization. By impacting digital culture, digital mindset of top management will impact self-regulating actor development. Type of Paper: Empirical. JEL Classification: L16, M14.

Digital Competency

In the context of public administration digitalization the importance of human resources and their quality increases, which requires state employees to possess new digital competencies (knowledge and skills), and often to master new professional functions that enable them to function effectively in the new digital environment. However, under these conditions, in the process of their professional socialization, a number of problems emerge. The purpose of the research is to determine the conditions and factors affecting the digital competency formation required in the transition to digital public administration of the civil servants digital competencies, as well as to identify contradictions that emerge in their formation process. The study was conducted on the basis of the information society concept, E-Government and the paradigm of the new public administration. The main research methods were documents analysis and statistical data analysis. The study has fixed that one of the factors hindering successful professional socialization in the context of public administration digitalisation is the uncertainty in the content of servants’ digital competencies they need, including taking into account future development prospects. The existing vocational education system cannot form digital competencies at the required level for several reasons (closed access to basic digital services and platforms, a variety of departmental digital services and workflow systems available in only one department, etc.). Civil servants are forced to master digital technology is more on its own. The main contradiction emerges in the process of creating digital competencies is the lack of officially fixed requirements for the availability of state and municipal employees’ digital competencies and the lack of mechanisms for their assessment in the selection or certification process. Moreover, the need to master the relevant digital competencies follows from regulatory documents.

The article analyzes the main factors influencing the digital competence formation of the Ukrainian population, which involves the acquisition of knowledge, abilities, character, and behavior that are compulsory for a person in order to use information and communication and digital technologies to achieve goals whether in personal or professional life. In the environment of forced isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the principle of continuing education ("lifelong learning") receives new characteristics in the light of new realities, in which access to information, continuous learning and revising of knowledge become driving force in the formation of a new model of education. The article summarizes the experience of European countries in implementing the basic principles of digital literacy and providing citizens with opportunities to master the skills of working with information and communication technologies, communication and cooperation in the digital space, digital content, digital security and more. Based on the analysis of the urbanization impact on the access of the population to high-quality Internet, it was found that the urban population has a higher level of digital knowledge and skills compared to the population living in rural areas. A system of digital competencies for citizens "DigComp 2.1" is proposed to be integrated and used in Ukraine as a tool for the implementation of strategic priorities for the formation of digital literacy of the population, which is already implemented in the European Union. Overall, the acquisition and development of digital competencies in the XXI century is mandatory in all spheres of the national economy and in everyday life of the population. In this context, it is necessary to create infrastructure and institutions that will deal with the implementation of innovative solutions and digital literacy training of all segments of the population throughout life.

The Impact

The present research featured the readiness of university and high school students for distance learning as a means of improving their digital skills. The survey was conducted in October 2020 and involved 807 students from schools and universities of Nizhny Novgorod aged 14–24 (M=18, SD=2.22; 62.6 % female, 37.4 % male). Six focus groups included 63 students aged 17–24 (M=18, SD=1.83; 65 % female, 35 % male). The study showed that the readiness of young people for distance learning depended on their awareness of how digital technologies changed human life during the pandemic. The research revealed four types of young people with different attitudes to distance learning. Awareness of the impact of digitalization appeared to be a powerful motivator for the use of distance learning to develop digital competencies. The constraining factors included emotional and volitional immaturity, orientation to hedonistic values, confidence in one’s own digital competence, and skepticism regarding the ability of distance education to promote professional development.
