Formation of remote education as a means of restoration of Russian recessive regions’ economy

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to substantiate the perspectives of using remote education as a means of restoring Russian recessing regions’ economy and develop framework recommendations for this. Design/methodology/approach The set goal is achieved by finding the dependence of the values of indicators of socio-economic development on the level of development of education in Russian regions. The methods of regression and correlation analysis are used for that. Findings The findings showed a moderate direct connection between the development of education and socio-economic position of the region if found. Qualitative analysis allowed substantiating large perspectives of using remote education as a means of restoring Russian recessing regions’ economy, which have two manifestations. The first one is related to the increase of accessibility of educational services in Russian regions. Due to this, the potential of development of region’s human potential is better realized. Being one of the key resources in the conditions of knowledge economy, human resources stimulate the activation of entrepreneurial activities, growth of labor efficiency and innovational activity of region’s companies. The second manifestation envisages the formation of entrepreneurship in the sphere of remote education as a growth vector and source of competitive advantages of recessing region’s economy. This opens possibilities for the formation of knowledge economy in region and supporting its high competitiveness. Low capital intensity of entrepreneurship in the sphere of remote education makes it accessible for development even in recessing regions, stimulating the growth of the volume of tax revenues into the regional state budget and formation of its positive balance. Originality/value For the practical implementation of the determined large perspectives of using remote education as a means of restoring Russian recessing regions’ economy, authors’ framework recommendations are offered, which are aimed at the improvement of normative and legal conditions for the conduct of entrepreneurial activities in the sphere of remote education, information support for this entrepreneurship and its marketing support and promotion as a basis of region’s economy’s competitiveness.

Proposal of a remote education model with the integration of an ICT architecture to improve learning management

“…In Fig. 4 , the proposed architecture for a remote education model is presented ( Akopova et al, 2019 ). Architecture maintains the teacher as an actor through which all learning passes, this is important to define because it is not proposed to define an online or virtual education ( Salmerón-Manzano & Manzano-Agugliaro, 2018 ).…”

Proposal for the Analysis of the State of Learning in University Students with the Inclusion of ICT in the Classroom

“…The first phase of the method was responsible for the validation of surveys. The use of these instruments aimed to determine what the feeling of the students was regarding the use of ICT in the classroom [20]. To meet this requirement, it was necessary to comply with an initial step, which focused on identifying the study population.…”

“…If the survey is developed as part of the LMS, the data is accessed from the database, or the download option must be found in the files. To obtain adequate data quality, it is necessary that all questions require a mandatory answer [20]. Configuring the survey in this way does not allow responses to be skipped, which means it is not necessary to create an extensive cleanup and transformation phase.…”
