The phenomenon of education in the era of digitalization

Abstract

Introduction. The relevance of the article is due to the problem of a new trend in many areas of activity – «digitalization», the complexity of understanding which lies in the systemic understanding of the phenomenon that has emerged. Purpose setting. The purpose of the study: to identify the regulatory framework for digital technologies and their application. Methodology and methods of the study. The study includes a review of bibliographic and regulatory sources on the problem of the formation and functioning of digitalization as a principle of pedagogical science, as a means of enhancing the quality of the implementation of educational processes of development, education and training. Results. The results of the work include a description and analysis of the problem associated with the disclosure of the concepts of «digitalization», «digital environment» of an educational institution; generalization of information on the regulatory framework of the Russian education system. The ideas about the benefits of digitalization in education, as well as the problems and negative impact on the results of educational processes are revealed. It is shown that digital technology in any of its qualities is not capable of capturing the subtleties of the human psyche, and a computer with any of its modifications is not able to turn values into meanings, and information into knowledge. Conclusion. The final part of the work states that the problem of studying the possibilities of digitalization as an educational tool is of a practice-oriented nature, but digitalization is not a replacement for the traditional format of educational processes in which there is a teacher and live interaction with him, but only a tool for strengthening the traditional format through new computer capabilities and equipment.
