Epidemiological Situation

This paper examines various aspects of distance learning (DL) for medical students in the spring semester of 2020. Provides general data on the peculiarities of the educational process of medical students, as well as on the experience of introducing an electronic educational environment – «moodle» into it. This environment is constantly being improved and modified. Over the years of use, it has become a kind of assistant for university teachers, complementing the educational process: allowing students to gain knowledge of the subject, remotely monitor the material they have passed, make an appointment for a consultation with a teacher, etc. A real «test» for «moodle» was the transition of students to preschool education, due to the unfavorable epidemiological situation caused by the new coronavirus infection. The aim of the work was an attempt to study some aspects of DL in this new and difficult period for the university. The objects of research were 200 students of VSMU named after N.N. Burdenko: 100 students of the 2nd year of dental and 100 students of the 3rd year of medical faculties, who were divided into 2 subgroups, depending on gender. The study was based on a questionnaire survey of students on a number of aspects of DL. The online activity of students was studied, followed by an assessment of their progress; determined the very attitude of respondents to the moodle system and DL in general; identified the main negative points (according to students) associated with this form of education. Most of the respondents were, on the whole, satisfied with the educational process at the university and the introduction of the electronic educational environment into the complex learning process. However, many recognized the «moodle» as somewhat «not ready» for the full transition to DL. Also, the most frequent reasons for «absence» of classes by students were identified and the most significant negative aspects of DL were identified. Based on the results, the educational process at a number of departments of the university was corrected in a timely manner. The data obtained are of interest to employees of various departments of medical universities.

Во второй декаде ХХІ века внедрение электронно-цифровых устройств во все звенья общественных отношений достигло выдающихся масштабов, что отмечено и на образовательном процессе учреждений высшего образования. Развитие современной образовательной среды вуза невозможна без использования цифровых средств обучения (ЦСО) таких, как: платформы дистанционного обучения (EQUITY MAPS, GOOGLE CLASSROOM, MOODLE), мобильно-цифровых приложений (CLASSTIME, LEARNINGAPPS, QUIZIZZ) и платформ онлайн связи (GOOGLE MEET, ZOOM, WEBEX). Особое место в контексте внедрения ЦСО принадлежит медицинском образовании, где уровень личной подготовки соискателя (теоретической и практической) очень важен в контексте спасения человеческих жизней. Цифровые средства обучения позволяют использовать  особенности современного соискателя с его постоянными пребыванием в цифровом пространстве с целью обучения до введения ограничительных мер, вызванных пандемией COVID-19. Образовательный процесс не должен останавливаться, и соискатели должны получать качественное образование, но нужно сохранять баланс между аудиторной и дистанционной формой передачи знаний и умений. На помощь участникам образовательного процесса может прийти образовательная технология смешанного обучения. Эта технология обучения достаточно новая и динамично развивается, она незаменима при очной форме обучения. Данная образовательная технология предоставления образовательных услуг сочетает в себе лучшие аспекты и преимущества преподавания в аудитории и интерактивного или дистанционного обучения, создает доступные курсы для соискателей образования, при которых учебный процесс представляет собой систему, состоит из разных частей, которые функционируют в постоянной взаимосвязи друг с другом, образуя целостную образовательную среду вуза. In the second decade of the XXI century, the introduction of electronic and digital devices in all links of public relations reached an outstanding scale, which was also noted in the educational process of higher education institutions. The development of the modern educational environment of the university is impossible without the use of digital learning tools (CSOs) such as: distance learning platforms (EQUITY MAPS, GOOGLE CLASSROOM, MOODLE), mobile digital applications (CLASTIME, LEARNINGAPPS, QUIZIZZ) and online communication platforms (GOOGLE MEET, ZOOM, WEBEX). A special place in the context of the introduction of CSR belongs to medical education, where the level of personal training of the applicant (theoretical and practical) is very important in the context of saving human lives. Digital learning tools allow you to use the features of a modern applicant with his constant stay in the digital space for the purpose of training before the introduction of restrictive measures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The educational process should not stop, and applicants should receive a high-quality education, but it is necessary to maintain a balance between classroom and distance forms of knowledge and skills transfer. The educational technology of mixed learning can come to the aid of participants in the educational process. This training technology is quite new and dynamically developing, it is indispensable for full-time training. This educational technology of providing educational services combines the best aspects and advantages of teaching in the classroom and interactive or distance learning, creates accessible courses for educational applicants, in which the educational process is a system, consists of different parts that function in constant interrelation with each other, forming an integral educational environment of the university.

Digital Competencies

The article considers the issues of digital transformation of higher education. The approaches to the definition and content of the term “digital transformation” are analyzed, the specifics and conditions of digitalization of the economy and the development of higher education are investigated. As prerequisites for the digital transformation of higher education, one can designate not only the penetration into the educational field of various information technologies that have changed the learning process itself, but also a number of regulatory legal acts. The reasons for the digital transformation of universities are identified. There are considered the issues of the modern content of digital technologies in higher education and a set of digital competencies that a university teacher must master. The experience of individual universities (Tyumen State University, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Toliatti State University) in building a digital educational environment has been analyzed. The digital transformation of higher education involves the restructuring of all areas of activity based on information and communication technologies. Changes should take place in technologies and training programs, methods and means, forms of educational activities, planned educational outcomes, and assessment results. It is noted that digital competencies are a set of skills and knowledge necessary to carry out professional activities using digital technologies. There have been listed the digital competencies that the future university graduates should master: working with applied programs, digital equipment, digital information, communication skills in a digital environment, self-writing software, creating their own digital products, working in various programs, etc. Retraining the teaching staff implies developing advanced training programs aimed at mastering digital competencies that are in demand by the digital economy, and which must be formed among university graduates. It has been inferred that the totality of information systems, digital devices, sources, interfaces, services, which are developed and aimed at implementing the educational process and university management, constitutes a digital educational environment.

The problem of research. The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a sudden transition to distance learning and an intensive development of the university's digital environment, and therefore it is important to assess how successful the rapid digital transformation has been from the point of view of students as one of the stakeholders. The study raises the question of students' understanding of the digital university phenomenon and assessment of interaction with teachers and administration. Materials and research methods. The aim of the study was to identify students' attitudes towards digital transformation at the university and assess the digital environment of their university. Anonymous survey was conducted among 2-3 year students of bachelor's degree in pedagogical areas of training of Moscow State Pedagogical University and Udmurt State University on November 2-14, 2020. 126 respondents took part in the survey. Results and discussion. The study showed that students interpret the concept of “digital university” differently. Comprehension can be classified into four blocks: learning format; digital environment; digital resources; web portal (digital platform). To the question "Can you say about yourself that you are studying at a digital university?" 40% –answered negatively, 33% – positively and 27% – gave their own answer. The survey revealed an generally acceptable level of student satisfaction with the experience of force majeure transition to distance learning during a pandemic. Among the most frequently used digital technologies in the learning process, students noted: Zoom, the information and analytical system of the university, Google Classroom, Moodle, online educational resources of third-party platforms, etc. Students believe that universities need to strengthen technological equipment to improve the quality of educational interaction in the digital environment educational process – 60%; to ensure the continuity of the digital qualification improvement of teachers – 60%; to create an accessible digital educational environment – 49%. 85% of respondents in the future associate their professional activities with the active use of digital technologies. Findings. The results of the study allow us to formulate a number of conclusions. First, students have different understanding of what a “digital university” is, which leads to discrepancies. Secondly, the attitude of students to the digital environment of the university is at a satisfactory level, since only a third of the respondents answered that they can state that they are studying at a digital university. Third, students rate the digital skills of teachers more highly than university administrators. Fourthly, among the most important difficulties faced by students during the period of pandemic distance learning, there were reasons related specifically to the educational process: an increase in the volume of independent work; the unpreparedness of teachers for the transition to full-fledged digital technologies; insufficient educational and personal self-realization in the context of digital learning; decrease in team-group work skills.

The Impact

Evolving digital technologies are infiltrating schools wave after wave. The changes taking place are viewed as the schools’ digital renewal process (SDRP). The SDRP is complex (multidimensional). It includes changes in the educational environment (physical and virtual), the educational process, and the way the school operates. The SDRP goes uneven, with individual schools at different stages. One-time observation of the SDRP allows you to fix its current state (statics). The longitudinal observations allows you to see changes in the schools’ digital renewal (kinematics). The connection of the observed changes with the impact on the general education system makes it possible to discuss the development of digital renewal under the influence of individual control actions (dynamics). The stages of penetration of digital technologies into the work of the school: computerization, early and mature informatization, digital transformation (transition to the “Smart School”) can be considered as the stages of maturity of the SDRP. The article discusses a framework for describing the processes of digital renewal of schools in an evolving digital environment and an assessment of the SDRP’s maturity.
