Abstract

It has been proved that in the perspective, the way out of the digital crisis will be conditioned by the development and approbation of new models of organizing scientific and educational activities adapted to the implementation in an open information and educational environment in the conditions of war. It will also be determined by design of information systems ensuring the collection and processing of data on educational systems and processes in times of war; development of an advanced model of research activities in the sphere of pedagogical education, which ensures high productivity of all educational and research practices in the context of digital transformation of the educational space in the conditions of war; development of psychological and pedagogical support of educational activities at all stages of lifelong learning, taking into account the psychological features and mechanisms of influence of digital learning on representatives of students’ different categories in the context of the typology developed in the theory of generations (baby boomers, generation Y, generation Z, generation alpha, or iGen) in the conditions of war; a comprehensive analysis of all pros and cons of digitalization of educational environments, as well as forecasting potential risks and situational limitations of the application of digital educational technologies in the context of an interdisciplinary approach from the perspective of various social and humanitarian disciplines – psychology, pedagogy, philosophy of education, sociology of sciences, etc. It has been pointed out that further analysis of the tendencies, features and challenges of the digital transformation of pedagogical education may be useful not only in the context of developing pedagogical science and practice but also in the broader civilizational aspect, if one considers digital transformation as a global process at the stage of establishing the information society in the conditions of war.
