Smart-education as the Factor of Sustainable Development

Abstract

The following modern trends in the development of society (high rate of world variability, informatization of living environment, global communication) raise the problem of quality of training of university students. At the same time, the development of an education strategy for sustainable development is of great importance. The essence of the strategy is to build a willingness to live and act in a changing environment, to plan socio-economic development, considering the limitations of activities and the consequences of decisions for us and future generations. The article examines the impact of the Smart-education concept on formation of strategic guidelines of education for sustainable development in relation to quality of university graduates training. The discussion of this issue is due to the ambiguity of the content of theoretical provisions and the difference in results of the practical application of Smart technologies in education. The authors identified the principles of education for sustainable development. The role of the principle of informatization in the context of improving the quality of education is shown, which is impossible without development of a technological base for interpersonal communications in the global information educational space.
