Abstract

Digitalization is an important innovative approach to the development of the entire education system. The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly intensified it, and now, despite all the global challenges, it continues to develop actively. Therefore, this problem is relevant and requires a thorough study of the peculiarities of introducing digital technologies into the education system. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to study the digital transformation of education through the prism of analyzing innovative technologies that contribute to its development. A quantitative research approach was used for this purpose. The participants of this study are 211 teachers and students from different educational institutions. The selection procedure was purposeful and based on several inclusion criteria, including experience in using technology. The main tools for the study were questionnaires and focus group interviews. Data processing was carried out in stages with the appropriate use of scientific methods of knowledge: content analysis, cluster analysis, factor analysis, and comparison method. The results of the study demonstrated the wide awareness of modern teachers and students of innovative tools. Based on the interviews, it was determined that the use of digital technologies in the learning environment has a number of advantages, including the speed of providing initial information, flexibility and accessibility. It is established that the use of digital technologies in education improves students' perception, increases the level of motivation and interest in learning. The conclusions summarize the main opportunities for the development of the digital education system and characterize potential ways to improve it. In particular, it is established that important issues that need to be addressed are ensuring a safe learning cyber environment, improving the material and technical base, and further developing the digital literacy of teachers.
