Methodological Foundations of Digital Transformation of the Educational Environment in the Context of the Continuous Learning Paradigm

In the context of rapid digitalization of society and the transformation of educational paradigms, this article is devoted to the analysis of the methodological foundations of the digital transformation of the educational environment within the framework of the paradigm of lifelong learning. The study is based on the systemoriented approach developed by E.I. Kazakova, which conceptualizes the educational system as a selfdeveloping subject capable of self-organization and adaptation under conditions of digital change. The article examines key concepts of digital didactics, including personalized learning, interactivity, and the integration of formal and non-formal education, as tools for implementing lifelong learning. Particular attention is given to the concepts of lifelong learning and lifewide learning, which emphasize the necessity of continuous knowledge and skill renewal across diverse life contexts. Contemporary challenges, such as the rapid evolution of technology and changes in employment structures, are analyzed as factors necessitating ongoing competence development.
