Abstract

Introduction. Neuro-digitalization of education is the process of introducing, testing and improving digital technologies in education and the principles of learning and devices based on them, that plays an important role in the modern development of both school and university education. It includes also implementing of the principle of subjectness and related principles of modern education (individualization, humanization, activation). Purpose setting. In modern psychological and pedagogical science and practice, the tasks of studying and ensuring the subjectness of students in the process of neuro-digitalization of education have been set and solved, however, there is no systematic study, an integrative model of the subjectness of students in the process of neuro-digitalization of education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the phenomenon of students’ subjectness in this process. Methodology and methods of the study. The methodological basis of the study is a systematic approach to understanding the phenomenon of students’ subjectness in the process of neuro-digitalization of education. The main research method is a theoretical analysis of discussed phenomenon in this process. Results. Some personal, interpersonal, educational and professional competencies and the subjectness of students themselves are not fully formed and developed (many not only schoolchildren, but also students find it difficult to openly declare their needs / states and positions / goals and values (self-disclosure), it is also difficult to evaluate / reflect on their activity, bear or assign responsibility, present themselves and the results of their educational and professional work (self-presentation), self-determine and identify themselves as future specialists and individuals. Thus, it is important to note the importance of transforming the academic environment and relationships in it in accordance with the objectives of ensuring the subjectness of students, including in the process of neuro-digitalization of education. Conclusion. An integrated understanding of the main, typical conditions that contribute to and hinder the formation and development of students’ subjectness in the process of neuro-digitalization of education is an important step towards ensuring the quality of education. The prospects for the study are related to the development and testing of a system-activity model of students’ subjectivity in the process of neuro-digitalization of education.
