Transformation Of The Teacher’s Role In Digital Age (Russia & France)

Abstract

Rapid changes in the country’s socio-economic development and the adoption of digital technologies as its main component are two aspects that the education system cannot ignore. In order to increase the country’s competitiveness in the field of education, it is necessary to train highly qualified specialists who will be able to take responsibility for operating modern technologies and new methods of education in the digital age. In addition, future specialists must be ready for continuing education, and this requires a high-quality information and communication base. Current conditions in the digital age dictate new requirements for the organization of training, changing the content, forms and methods of teaching. School education management is gradually being digitized. All this leads to the fact that the role of the teacher in timely conditions is fundamentally changing. In addition, in the context of globalization, there is an interest in foreign practices in education. The article contains a comparison of the evolution of Informatization of education in Russia and in France. Attention is drawn to the formation of digital competencies in future teachers and the emergence of new teaching professions, such as e-learning tutor, distance learning teacher consultant, etc., which arose in response to the needs of society and are associated with the spread of digital technologies in the educational process.
