Digitalization of education in the context of digital inequality
https://doi.org/10.15372/PEMW20190403
Abstract
The problem of forming digital literacy of society is considered through the created socio-cultural prerequisites for the implementation of digitalization programs in different countries. It is shown that the existing methods for the analysis of digital involvement allow fixing the existing «digital gap», but do not answer the question of ways to preserve human capital in peripheral regions. In particular, it is shown that the implementation of the «knowledge society»concept becomes a reality only for those countries whose management system has been coordinated at the state and regional levels, and has been able to implement the principles of openness and accessibility in the field of education and information technology. The implementation of these principles makes it possible to build a more flexible education system, which will create socio-cultural prerequisites for remote and less developed regions to solve the country»s new tasks of creating universal digital literacy and neutralizing social problems caused by increasing digital inequality. The interdisciplinary research uses institutional, functional and socio-cultural approaches. The conclusions are illustrated by the results of quantitative assessment of the main parameters used to determine the level of digitalization of society.
