Digital transformation of the educational space: new tools and technological solutions

Abstract

Introduction. The digital transformation of the educational space of a pedagogical university provides great opportunities for improving the quality of education and at the same time requires a radical change in methodological approaches to the organization of training; search, development, and application of new technological solutions and tools. The purpose of this article is to search for and analyze new tools and technologies for the digital transformation of the modern educational space. A fundamentally new approach is laid in the design of the educational and scientific electronic service "Pedagogical map of the world". The electronic scientific and educational service of the new generation "Pedagogical map of the world" makes it possible not only to broadcast but also to generate new knowledge, as well as to form readiness for transferring it to other social and humanitarian subject fields of science. Materials and methods. In the course of the study of the effectiveness of the electronic resource "Pedagogical map of the world" as a tool for the digital transformation of pedagogical education, a survey was conducted among students (1837 students) and scientific and pedagogical workers (211 employees) of higher education institutions in various regions of the Russian Federation. Results. The study among the university students aimed at determining the level of students' satisfaction with the functionality of the electronic service showed that a significant number of respondents (90.7 %) noted a positive trend in their attitude towards the study of the historical and pedagogical space when using the electronic service. The positive dynamics affected not only classroom studies but also the area of students' independent work and their personal development. A survey among the professional community also confirmed the effectiveness of the electronic resource. Discussion and conclusion. The modern electronic service "Pedagogical map of the world" incorporates a database, a "live textbook", an analytical simulator, and social networks. The possibilities of the "Pedagogical map of the world" include "Sets of tasks", developed on the basis of a four-dimensional model of a set of exercises for developing historical and pedagogical space.
