Sociocultural trends in the development of digital education

The article substantiates the thesis that didactics is an integral part of society; therefore, the transformation of didactics and the socio-cultural changes in society represent a single, interdependent process. An analysis of national and foreign research on the transformation of elements of the traditional didactic system in the context of digitalization is presented. Based on the conducted analysis, four key foundations for the formation of digital didactics are identified: ideas, rules, actions, and goals. Their implementation manifests itself in the reformatting of learning systems, changes in the content and forms of education, the discretization of educational elements, as well as in the transformation of goal-setting processes. The identified socio-cultural trends indicate that the integration of digital technologies into the educational process – an inherent feature of digital didactics – serves not only as a technical condition but also as a factor in enhancing the quality of education.
