The Quality of Training Staff for the Digital Economy of Russia within the Framework of STEAM Education: Problems and Solutions in the Context of Distance Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems of quality training of personnel for the digital economy of Russia during the pandemic within the framework of STEAM education and to identify their solutions with the help of the most effective distance learning tools. The research is based on a survey of 138 respondents (students of the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the Yelabuga Institute of the Kazan Federal University), who have mastered professional competencies in a distance learning format during the pandemic. The results of the survey confirmed the conclusion that distance learning tools such as Moodle, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams have shown their effectiveness and can be successfully used not only in the context of extreme situations, for example, a pandemic, but also as elements of blended learning while bringing variety to the forms of learning, and thereby strengthening the process of training STEAM education specialists. The scientific novelty of the study lies in a deep analysis of the distance learning tools used for training specialists for the digital economy of Russia, namely STEAM education specialists, based on the collection of information from students during the period of transformational changes in the pedagogical education system.

Assessing the Quality of Learning Materials in a Learning Management System (LMS): Its Impact on Learning Outcomes

“…The results of Partial Least Squares analysis indicate that project team interaction, guidance, feedback, and the quality of materials in the Learning Management System (LMS) significantly contribute to developing critical thinking skills and lifelong independent learning. These findings align with research by (Anisimova et al, 2022), emphasizing the crucial role of the quality of learning materials in the LMS in enhancing critical thinking skills. Essential thinking ability also aids in seeking feedback, self-assessment, and improving learning motivation (Jones et al, 2023).…”

A Systematic Review of STEAM Education’s Role in Nurturing Digital Competencies for Sustainable Innovations

“…Venturing into game development, a quantitative analysis of virtual reality applications underlines the integration of emerging technologies into pedagogy [58]. Digital literacy, navigated through distance learning tools such as Moodle and Google Classroom, spearheads the training of specialists for the digital economy, underlining the significance of digital literacy in educational landscapes [59].…”

Application Research on Enhancing the Learning Effectiveness Level of Engineering College Students Based on STEM Education

“…Therefore, engineering quality in engineering vocational students professional quality is particularly important, good engineering quality in vocational students in the face of various engineering problems or actual production problems, not only help engineering vocational students based on the understanding of the practical problems, also can complete the engineering model logic assumptions and preliminary build engineering model to solve practical problems.There are various classifications of learning effectiveness levels. Based on the model of classical learning theory, this article proposes a brief model for the learning effectiveness level of engineering college students, etc [6][7][8].…”
