“…It is also important to adapt the learning strategy to the needs and limitations of the target audience, and the use of digital tools is aimed at overcoming the transactional distance. According to Namestyuk et al (2020), in the context of digitalisation, it is important to take into account the perceptual and communicative gap between the teacher and the student when designing courses and classes.…”

The purpose of the presented study was to analyse the implementation of digital systems in higher education in the digital age. Such transformations have to meet several goals, such as reducing costs, increasing efficiency, equity and quality of learning. The methods used to collect data included a thorough review of the cultural theory literature, original texts, and secondary literature research from SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Research Gate. The findings indicate that while online learning has its advantages, it is also important to consider the limitations that depend on the specific methods of use. In the context of the digital transformation of higher education, students enjoy a variety of opportunities and autonomy, but face limitations that largely depend on the form of learning. The role of a trainer or facilitator becomes important to ensure the quality and effectiveness of learning, especially in a virtual environment where the relationship between teacher and student is of particular importance. Given the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, a combination of face-to-face and distance learning is becoming key to ensuring flexibility and avoiding the effects of the crisis. E-learning includes the creation of digital platforms that are becoming an integral part of digital transformation, which is being intensified by the need for remote work and study. We conclude that successful e-learning requires a careful analysis of the student's context and a shift from teacher-centred to student-centred pedagogy. As the choice of the best digital tool is complex, it is important to analyse each tool repeatedly and critically. All of these aspects point to the complexity of the modern educational environment and the need to implement optimal pedagogical approaches that take into account the technological capabilities and needs of modern students.

“…Digital technology-and at its core computing-is not just technology, it is also science, industry, and now culture (Mykhailyshyn, Kondur & Serman, 2018). It is for this reason that modern education seeks to enable every educator to become a developer and not just a consumer of this transformation, to enable every educator to realize themselves in the new educational environment (Namestyuk, Smolikevych, Bytsko, Zaitseva & Orlova, 2020). Langset, Jacobsen & Haugsbakken (2018) offer their contribution to digital learning in the context of current educational issues and challenges.…”

Education is an indicator of societies socio-economic and cultural development provides the national interests of the country in all areas of its activities in the world arena. The process of integration of cultural, educational, scientific, as well technical spheres – the introduction of modern norms and the standardization of education, the development of science and technology, the culture’s expansion, and the dissemination of scientific and technological achievements. Contemporary professionals face the recent year’s scientific and technical developments problems. The solution of these problems is conditioned by the need of their professional skills continuous development even after having obtained the higher education and the specialization diploma. The penetration into all fields of professional activity of the skills traditionally characterized by high technology leads to the emergence of new trends. The current axiom “digital humanities” is gaining popularity. In this context, the implementation of combined scientific, cultural-educational, and other projects and the involvement of scientists and specialists in research programs are particularly important. The COVID-19 pandemic affected more than 169,015 students in Azerbaijan (Valiyev & Valehli, 2022). This fact forced educators to develop new methods of teaching, with the introduction of distance learning as a single alternative to the desire for pedagogical continuity. Such a situation led to many difficulties, such as lack of experience, technical problems, and difficulties with technical equipment. In addition, many teachers realized that they required digital skills. This paper presents the trends of education with the use of closed survey among teachers in the field of philology. The university community had to develop new ways of teaching and learning, particularly the introduction of distance and online learning that kept students connected and offered different perspectives. Search engines found 457 articles between 2018 and 2022. Relevant articles were searched in the Scopus and UpToDate databases, relevant articles for 2018-2022 were selected and processed by the title and abstracts, 20 scientific works were presented in this study. As a result, the situation of education in Azerbaijan was identified, one highlighted negative trends and prospects for the development of philological education in the context of digitalisation. The highlighted trends and forecasts give a new outline of the impact of digital technologies and the problems of changes in learning, knowledge sharing, and transformation in philological education. The findings open new perspectives on the relationship between science and society and the role of philological research in the context of digitalisation.
