The authors describe the main results of their pedagogical experiment on the possibilities of using smart-technologies of virtual reality in the educational process of professional preparation of students-managers. The results of the experiment are substantiated by statistical calculations, formulas, tables. It is proved that the usage of smart-technology of virtual reality helps to increase the level of quality of future managers' professional preparation and their readiness to professional work.

Digital Resources and Technologies for Improvement of Educational Process in Ukraine

“…The research oriented towards the assessment of the impact of digital resources and technologies on the educational process is especially important since they improve the educational process through creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences (Haleem et al, 2022), facilitation of collaboration and communication among students and instructors (Morze et al, 2022;Panchenko et al, 2020), and personalize learning experiences (Van Schoors et al, 2023).
