Creative directions in digitalization of education in Russia

Abstract

The article deals with the issues of improving the efficiency of education in Russia. To this end, a set of measures in five areas was formulated and a list of tasks for the implementation of the proposed measures was compiled. Recommendations on the organization of continuing education are formulated in the following sequence: school; University (professional education); additional vocational education; mass online education.

Two forms of continuing education are considered in more detail: additional vocational education and mass online training. The organization of additional vocational education is based on the state system of personal digital certificates and other programs for the development of digital literacy. Depending on the level of training, available skills, work experience and availability of free time, potential students can choose the course that they need to develop competencies for work in the field of digital economy. The online education market in Russia is actively developing. In 2016, it amounted to 20.7 billion rubles, and in 2021, experts expect it to increase to 53.3 billion rubles. The concept of continuing education can be implemented in the best way if the structure of online education is developed and approaches to motivation in education are improved. Self-assessment of the level of professional qualification, the desire to obtain a new profession, change of residence are the motivations of readiness for training. It is only necessary to provide citizens with conditions for learning, depending on each age group.
