Abstract

In the context of the federal experiment on the development of digital educational environments (Decree Government of Russia N ), the issues of fundamental and applied developments in pedagogical anthropology and didactics of digital educational environments are being updated. The aim of the study was to analyze the digital educational environments created in the regions participating in the federal experiment. Teachers and heads of educational organizations from the regions included in the federal experiment on the introduction of digital educational environments took part in the study. Teachers and leaders were participants in the monthly interregional webinar of the Russian Academy of Education “Digital Educational Environment for Human Development”. The participants of the webinar were offered a structured interview, which included  questions to assess the elements of digital educational environment, its opportunities for human development, individualization of education, self-determination in terms of choice, the possibilities of analyzing and refl ecting on personal educational results, the possibilities of productive interaction between participants in educational relations. As a result, a structural and functional analysis of digital educational environments in  regions is presented. Essential changes in the practice of pedagogical activity, ways to organize educational process and cognitive activity of students, ways to construct the interaction of participants in educational relations are revealed. The results are signifi cant for the development of the methodology of modern didactics, for the development of the theory and practice of expertise in education: the assessment of the developing functionality of digital educational environments. To evaluate the developmental functionality of digital educational environments, a special methodology is needed. The model of such methodology has been developed and is currently being tested.
