Integration of the educational process in higher education with digital technologies

Purpose. To estimate the possibilities and prospects of integrating the educational process in higher education (EPHE) with digital technologies (DT), identify prerequisites and challenges, establish directions for integration, assess the availability of changes in the spectrum of student competencies to the dynamics of labor market requirements; indicate the directions of educational process modification in the conditions of digitalization. Methodology. General scientific and dialectical methods are used: argumentative-deductive method – for identification of disproportion between scope of specialist training and needs of the market; inductive method – formation of an inseparable trajectory of competencies; logical generalization – establishment of integration training areas for the specialist to acquire multi-potential; analysis and synthesis – establishing the permanence of integration process; system analysis – identification of prerequisites, directions, stages, problems of integration. Findings. Prerequisites and directions of methodical, organizational and structural changes in the higher school, the stages and problematic issues of the integration of higher education institutions were identified, a platform structure of the digital educational environment of higher education institutions was proposed and directions for the modification of the educational process in the conditions of digitalization were determined. Originality. The permanent nature of the integration of EPHE with DT is indicated. The trend of integration of the main areas of acquiring educational skills and the need for the formation of fundamental education in all areas of study are indicated. The need to ensure an unbreakable trajectory of student competencies is indicated. Practical value. The proposed direction of the integration of the EPHE with DT on the formation of the specialist’s multi-potential will increase their adaptation to the requirements of the labor market. The developed recommendations can be used by scientists and practitioners in the integration of EPHE with DT.
