Abstract

Today’s modern society is developing quite dynamically due to the use of the latest technologies and their implementation in quotidian life. The same trends are characteristic for the development of higher education and all participants involved in this process. The purpose of the article is to analyze the mutual influence of the professional training of future scientific and pedagogical workers and the trends of education digitization. Particularly, the importance of acquiring digital competence was established – the importance of this process was confirmed by the use of content analysis of the literature: search engines found 60 most concerning articles for the years 2015–2023. In the results, materials of empirical and theoretical content were elaborated. It should be noted that students in Ukraine are not enough competent in the use of digital technologies, but some of them have not completely realized the essence of the responsibility and academic integrity regarding the use of various sources. The results also show that there are a number of difficulties (for example, lack of motivation and knowledge about digital competencies) in the professional training of future scientific and pedagogical workers using digital technologies. The conclusions summarize that digital skills will become especially relevant in the future, so the training of teachers and scientists should pay great attention not only to the use of digital technologies and resources in teaching, but also theoretical counseling, the formation of students' ability to critically perceive the digital content. Therefore, the system of professional training of future scientific and pedagogical workers should focus on the formation of digital literacy, critical thinking, and information competence of students. At the same time, the mutual influence on the digitalization of education is possible. Thanks to the cooperation with employers, teachers will change the content of training in accordance with the current requirements of the labor market, so digital training mechanisms will also need an improvement.
