Digitalization of Education: Save the Human

Abstract

The article substantiates the need for a transition from an eclectic postmodern education paradigm to a humanistic one, rooted in the foundation of Russian culture and suggesting the development of a person and increasing his personal potential. The educational process immanently contains moments that are not reducible to technology and require direct subject-subject communication and interaction between teacher and student. Education issues are mainly related to student motivation, not digital literacy. In this regard, the authors believe that the priority direction of state policy in the field of education should be the training of highly qualified teachers, improving the level and quality of their life, as well as increasing the prestige of teacher work.

Digital Humanization of Education in the Light of Geopolitical Challenges

“…The above-mentioned authors claim for a new human-oriented pedagogical paradigm that concerns innovations, technological expansion and irrevocability of a mixed online-offline learning. There is no doubt digitalization is observed as one of the most crucial forces for the educational development, that implies the necessity of its humanization (Polikarpova et al, 2020). In addition, humanization of education addresses the most important economic requests caused by current agenda on climate, ecology, social inclusion, fair market relations etc (Shanks, 2020).…”
