Digital Educational Environment, Health Protecting Aspects

Abstract

The priority project “Modern digital educational environment in the Russian Federation” focuses on widespread introduction of modern ICT into the educational system. At the same time, there is a notable imbalance between the number of students using modern technologies and the number of teachers willing to conduct such training. Only 16 % of teachers are prepared to create and use digital resources for educational purposes. Moreover, only digital environment of educational organization is evaluated, although in digital education actual training also occurs outside of it. We have attempted to assess the current situation based on learning process in high-tech information educational environment, including the educational organization and students’ place of residence or stay, since such environment is likely to impact students’ health but is also the only environment that enables educational process accounting for health conditions of the students. However, availability of digital educational resources and teachers able to utilize them does not guarantee success. Parents’ ability to use technology to oversee educational process and maintain information security / protection of personal data of the student outside the educational institution is essential. Results of the study can serve as basis for development of a program for formation of students’ digital educational environment, accounting for contents of the educational organization, students’ place of residence and level of information culture of all participants of the learning process
