Digitalization of the modern educational process in a risky environment

Abstract

The use of digital technology is a major requirement in many professional fields, particularly in education. Teachers now understand more and more the benefits that come with the proper use of digital technologies in the organization of modern learning processes. New trends require teachers to be digitally literate. Therefore, there is a need for teachers to develop their own skills in using information technologies. The majority of digital literacy skills are related to the use of modern computer equipment, working with the Internet and others. However, the most important features of digital education are the teacher’s ability to freely use information and communication technologies to organize the learning process at all stages of education. However, certain risks may arise in the digitalization of modern education. The paper provides a typology of risks of digitalization of modern educational process. Sociological research was also conducted: a survey of students of the humanities university LSPU n.a. P.P. Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky, content analysis of the expert interview of the general director of VCIOM V.V. Fedorov, and an interview with Voronin Kim (head of of online course “PowerPoint Ninja”).
