EDUCATION IN THE MODERN INFORMATION SOCIETY

The article examines the concept of «information society» and personality as a value component of the information society. Education should be built in such a way that a person acquires not only basic knowledge to apply this knowledge in the process of work, but is able to «extract» new knowledge using modern training technologies

On the Assessment of e-Banking Websites Supporting Sustainable Development Goals

The main aim of this article was to test the authors’ proprietary method (i.e., the conversion method applied to evaluate e-banking services that support sustainable development goals in households, communities, and society). The authors’ conversion method can be applied with the aim of maintaining a balance between households, producers, and public administration services in line with the principles of sustainable development of the information society in Poland. To achieve this goal, the authors identified the differences between the results obtained using the conversion method and the results produced by other methods such as TOPSIS, Promethee II, and PROSA involving the same group of respondents. A hypothesis was made about the existence of significant differences in the results obtained as part of the studies. The research was carried out on a sample of nearly 830 ratings concerning the 27 most popular electronic banks in Poland. As part of the survey, the respondents assessed 18 characteristics (attributes) of the selected banks using a simplified Likert scale. The study was conducted during the pandemic in Poland in 2020. The authors compared the results achieved in the case of the TOPSIS, Promethee II, and PROSA methods and the ones obtained with the application of the conversion method. Then, the ratings of the e-banking websites were arranged in descending order, and the distances between the positions in the rankings obtained by the conversion method and other methods were calculated. In addition, the R2 correlation coefficients were calculated for all combinations of the results received using individual methods. The results showed the greatest differences both in the absolute distances between the positions obtained in the ranking and the lowest value of the R2 correlation coefficient in the case of the conversion method in relation to the other methods. The limitation of the present research resulted from the fact that the study sample included respondents who were all members of the academic environment. The students analyzed in the study were part of a group supporting globalization processes where e-business solutions are widely used. However, the purchases of goods and services both local and foreign made by this group were often limited in scope and value due to a lack of funds. The research results indicate a potential need for improvement of the conversion method.

Leading Trends in Innovative Development – Identification using Marketing Research

Access to information has become extremely easy these days. Hence the common belief that we have established an information society in which knowledge is treated as the greatest wealth and which at the same time constitutes the basis for innovative development of enterprises, countries, regions.

CURRENT CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER LEGAL EDUCATION

The article discusses the problem of improving the quality of legal education and its compliance with modern challenges arising in the context of the development of the information society. The main trends and processes that need to be considered in the organization of higher legal education, and as a result, new requirements are presented to the training of a lawyer in modern conditions, in particular to the educational process and the content of educational programs. Such characteristics of legal training, as flexibility and variability, interdisciplinary, multistage, continuity, profiling, personalization, innovative and scientific orientation, practical oriented legal education are considered. The need for adequate transformation of legal education using all the achievements of information technologies is substantiated. The impact on the legal education of the trends in globalization and internationalization is investigated. Qualities of a lawyer have been defined, which come to the fore alongside classical professional skills.

Legal policy and legal culture

Problem setting. The current stage of world development is characterized by the deepening of the processes of integration of political, economic, cultural life of the world. The term “globalization” has come into wide use as a characteristic of the formation of a single planetary society. Target of research is to highlight the main provisions of the dynamic system of knowledge about the information society, the legal policy of the country as a tool for legal development of modern society. Analysis of resent researches and publications. The issue of correlation between legal policy and legal culture has been analysed by V.D. Zorkin, A.V. Malko, V.A. Zatonsky, I.V. Yakovyuk and others. Articles main body. The article states that the implementation of effective legal policy at the present stage of development of Ukrainian society is one of the defining conditions for its further democratic reform, strengthening the rule of law, information society, digital competitive market economy, ensuring human and civil rights and freedoms. It is emphasized that the social dimension of globalization is studied in terms of the possibility of building a global civil society with common values and ideological attitudes, a high level of social mobility, the emergence of global culture and the globalization of public consciousness. The concept of digital society and its principles are analyzed. It is determined that legal policy is a reflection of the fact that the law itself should act as a way of building, arranging the modern world. The connection between legal policy and legal culture is emphasized Conclusions.and prospects for the development. It is concluded that legal policy, which is based on the legal culture of society and the individual, is an effective means of organization, a way of organizing the legal life of society. It is the state that must take on the roles of leader and experimenter, regulator and defender and promoter of digital transformations in Ukraine.

Balancing interests of authors and broad public

The authors investigate into the rules contained in the international treaties, Russian existing laws and judicial routine related to exclusiveness of authors’ rights. The character of social changes in the digital era were specified. Several types of legal relations remain traditional, however in today’s information society has to revise existing laws in which authors rights dominate over information user interests. At the same time, the authors re underprotected from piracy. Legislators have to prioritize in the first place who and from whom must be protected in the information society: the authros from pirates, intellectual property from plagiarism, or the users from actualaccessible information. Secondly, the rights of new knowledge have to be managed and efficient ways to righ t-ful transfer of accumulated knowledge to users have to be found. Implementation of information technologies into libraries and access to digital information resources change radically the quality of library services. The authors challenged themselves with attracting attention to the problems of information society in Russia.

Service in the conditions of using digital technologies

Problem setting. The information society needs to form such a model of legal regulation of service provision, which will allow to ensure the appropriate level of quality of digital service provision, using the latest information technologies. Target of research. To analyze the current legislation to identify the impact of the development of information technology on ensuring proper regulation of relations for the provision of services in the context of digitalization. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Many scientists have studied the problem of providing services in the domestic scientific literature, in particular, O. V. Sibilova [1], A. A. Telestakova [2], N. A. Fedosenko [3], N. V. Fedorchenko [4], Yu. E. Khodiko [5]. However, in the information society, digital services are becoming relevant, the problem of the legal regime of which needs to be studied. And although recently this type of service has become the subject of research by some scientists, namely G. K. Nekit [6], I. I. Svitlak [7], N. Yu. Filatova [8], we will try to highlight our views on digital services. Article’s main body. The article considers the issue of defining a service as an object of turnover in the conditions of using digital technologies. Discussion issues that arise when defining the concept of digital service are resolved. The current legislation of Ukraine, scientific researches, the conclusions which have both theoretical, and practical value concerning the outlined question are analyzed. Conclusions and prospects for the development. After analyzing the above regulations, we can conclude that the service is an action (activity) performed by one party to the contract at the request of another, aimed at obtaining a useful result not related to the creation of material goods. Among the main features of services in the development of digital technologies are the following: 1) the service is always expressed through the active actions of the parties; 2) the service provided by the contractor is able to meet the needs of the customer; 3) lack of material nature; 4) synchronicity of provision and receipt of services (consumed in the process of their provision); 5) the service must meet the requirements specified in the contract or regulation; 6) the possibility of remote provision of services – the use of information and telecommunications systems in the provision of services.

OS OBJETOS DE APRENDIZAGEM COMO FERRAMENTAS DE ENSINO: potencialidades e fragilidades sob o olhar da Ciência da Informação = LEARNING OBJECTS AS TEACHING TOOLS: strengths and weaknesses under Information Science view

A explosão informacional e a ubiquidade das tecnologias de informação e comunicação, aspectos inerentes à Sociedade da Informação, remodelaram a dinâmica social de forma irreversível. Nesse contexto, surgiram os objetos de aprendizagem, ferramentas tecnológicas utilizadas para o ensino, seja ele remoto ou presencial. Porém, é preciso que a Ciência da Informação discuta de forma mais lúcida o uso desses instrumentos na atualidade, apontando seus benefícios e limitações. O objetivo geral buscou analisar as vantagens e desvantagens do uso de objetos de aprendizagem como ferramentas de ensino sob o prisma da Ciência da Informação. Os objetivos específicos são: identificar aspectos negativos e positivos das tecnologias de informação e comunicação na atualidade, utilizando principalmente o embasamento teórico da Ciência da Informação; apontar o conceito de objeto de aprendizagem, bem como seu uso no ensino; detectar as potencialidades e limitações dos objetos de aprendizagem e sugerir os contextos em que eles devem ser ou não utilizados como ferramenta de ensino considerando o âmbito da Sociedade da Informação. Por meio de um levantamento bibliográfico, foi possível apontar até que ponto os objetos de aprendizagem possuem limitações que devem ser seriamente consideradas, evitando-se sempre a adoção de discursos tecnocráticos que elegem essa tecnologia como a solução para todos os problemas educacionais existentes. As considerações finais relatam que o uso dos objetos de aprendizagem precisa refletir os contextos educacionais, culturais e as limitações físicas dos sujeitos, além de possibilitar a capacidade de reflexão do aluno.AbstractThe informational explosion and the ubiquity of information and communicationtechnologies, inherent aspects of the Information Society, have irreversibly reshaped the social dynamics. In this context, learning objects emerged, technological tools used for teaching, whether remote or in person. However, it is necessary that Information Science discuss more lucidly the use of these instruments today, pointing out their benefits and limitations. The general objective sought to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using learning objects as teaching tools from the perspective of Information Science. The specific objectives are: to identify negative and positive aspects of information and communication technologies today, using mainly the theoretical foundation of Information Science; point out the concept of learning object, as well as its use in teaching; detect the potential and limitations of learning objects and suggest the contexts in which they should or should not be used as a teaching tool considering the scope of the Information Society. Through a bibliographic survey, it was possible to point out the extent to which learning objectshave limitations that must be seriously considered, always avoiding the adoption of technocratic speeches that elect this technology as the solution to all existingeducational problems. The final considerations report that the use of learning objects needs to reflect the educational and cultural contexts and the physical limitations of the subjects, in addition to enabling the student's capacity for reflection.
