| description | Introduction. The article analyzes the process of digitalization of modern education. The relevance of the study is determined by the special role of education in the life of modern society, based on the principles and values of the post-industrial era. The quality of human potential and people's readiness to face natural and social challenges largely depend on the effectiveness of the education system. In the process of improving national education, modern technologies are becoming more and more important every year, the introduction of which contributes to the modernization and development of education, as well as improving the quality of training of future specialists and bringing education closer to science.

In this regard, the study of the digitalization of education and its social consequences is a very relevant area of research. The purpose of this study is to identify the main problems and determine the prospects for digitalization in education.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, we used methods of dialectics of social cognition, analysis of philosophical, sociological, and pedagogical literature, and synthesis and modeling of socio-cultural processes.Results. The conclusions identify the main problems of digitalization of education: the dehumanization of educational, and then all other social relations, the possible deepening of the crisis of people's intellectual culture, their ability to create, the growth of pragmatism and individualism based on the values of personal comfort and selfish consumption. Prospects for the development of digitalization in the education system are outlined: instrumental - equipping educational institutions with high-quality software, information systems that provide access to educational resources, the introduction of information (distance) technologies, online learning, changing requirements for teachers and students, the formation of new organizational educational structures, inevitable changes in the usual forms and methods of training and value-semantic – finding a harmonious unity with the best traditions of domestic education.Discussion and Conclusions. These conclusions are aimed at solving practical issues related to the implementation of the state policy of digitalization of various spheres of public relations. They can help coordinate the efforts of scientists, politicians, and civil society institutions to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of our society. The results obtained allow us to approach the fundamental problems of managing the cultural policy of modern society more objectively and meaningfully. They are designed to stimulate the creation of new forms of culture based on the priorities of harmonizing national cultural characteristics and the specifics of the world's techno-scientific processes. |
