Adapting Curricula to the Needs of the Modern Digital Society in Ukraine

Digital technologies are a complete social fact, covering all aspects of human activity, including economic, administrative, social and political contexts. The education system is no exception. However, questions remain about the optimal implementation of digital technologies in school and higher education. The purpose of this study is to analyse the potential for adapting curricula to the requirements of the modern digital society in Ukraine. The study used the Web of Science, Google Scholar and Scopus databases to search for relevant literature. The criteria for selecting literature included publications that were published in periodicals over the past 5 years and contained keywords related to the chosen research topic. The search algorithm involved entering keywords into the search bar of each database, filtering the results according to the specified criteria, and analysing the titles and abstracts to further select relevant studies. To analyse the data, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software was used for statistical analysis of the survey results. Correlation and regression analysis methods were also used to establish relationships between various factors. Reliability and validity of the methods were verified by testing the instruments on a small pilot group before the large-scale study. The results of the study showed that the real value of digital technologies is gradually becoming a subject of debate, but remains little known and difficult to generalise. Questions about the presence of digital technologies in education cause concern and sometimes opposition both among the educational community and in public discourse. In addition, defining the future competences expected of teachers is a complex task. It is likely that they will increasingly focus on collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. Thus, developing adaptability and adapting curricula to digital trends remains the main preparation for future challenges. Despite the growing prevalence of digital tools, there are significant differences in equipment, network access and digital skills among the population. Consequently, there is a significant gap between personal use of digital tools and their school, university and professional use.
