DIGITALIZATION OF EDUCATION IN UKRAINE: FOREIGN EXPERIENCE AND DOMESTIC PERSPECTIVE OF IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Over the past 50 years, human civilization has been developing at an incredible pace. A special role is played here by technological progress which made an improbable jump. Progress led to the fact that along with the evolution of people, also technologies evolve, at the same time gradually being ahead of the creators. Rather natural it is possible to consider the fact that technologies take root in all spheres of human activity today, thereby it is qualitative them improving. The process of implementation of technologies, in the different public relations, has the name digitalization. It should be noted that though it also is directed to improvement and simplification of human activity in various spheres, at the same time itself the world order becomes more difficult, despite high-quality transformations, now for everyone there is a need to understand the difficult principles of work of the latest technologies. It is also promoted by the fact that innovations every day become more difficult and available. Digitalization became one of the basic elements of the world process of globalization what for example statistics of the UN according to which, in 2019 about 4.1 billion people what makes more than 53% of all population of the planet, are Internet users confirms. Also, various researchers predict that in the next 10 years a large number of professions, in the most various areas, will disappear, and work will be performed by smart mechanisms. However, the emergence of new professions, in the fields of science, creativity, management, and other spheres in which the person will always be a necessary component is also predicted. Against the background of so innovations, the fact of the increase in demand for education is logical and quite justified. Also, requirements for quality, availability, and compliances of education to modern needs of mankind grow. It is important that education is a question of mainly state competence today, for example, Article 53 of the Constitution of Ukraine guarantees everyone the right to education. Considering it and the corresponding trends of development of humanity, a digitalization of education is a logical and natural vector of development of this sphere that experience of the leading countries of the world also testifies to. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate whether really the digitalization of education is necessary for Ukraine, having the analyzed process of technical improvement and the experience of other countries that already have considerable achievements in this sphere.
