Formation of Digital Competence of State Servants in the Conditions of Government Digitalisation: The Problem Statement

In the context of public administration digitalization the importance of human resources and their quality increases, which requires state employees to possess new digital competencies (knowledge and skills), and often to master new professional functions that enable them to function effectively in the new digital environment. However, under these conditions, in the process of their professional socialization, a number of problems emerge. The purpose of the research is to determine the conditions and factors affecting the digital competency formation required in the transition to digital public administration of the civil servants digital competencies, as well as to identify contradictions that emerge in their formation process. The study was conducted on the basis of the information society concept, E-Government and the paradigm of the new public administration. The main research methods were documents analysis and statistical data analysis. The study has fixed that one of the factors hindering successful professional socialization in the context of public administration digitalisation is the uncertainty in the content of servants’ digital competencies they need, including taking into account future development prospects. The existing vocational education system cannot form digital competencies at the required level for several reasons (closed access to basic digital services and platforms, a variety of departmental digital services and workflow systems available in only one department, etc.). Civil servants are forced to master digital technology is more on its own. The main contradiction emerges in the process of creating digital competencies is the lack of officially fixed requirements for the availability of state and municipal employees’ digital competencies and the lack of mechanisms for their assessment in the selection or certification process. Moreover, the need to master the relevant digital competencies follows from regulatory documents. Keywords: digital competency of civil servants, digital competencies, digital literacy, professional socialization, digitalisation of public administratio

Interactive technologies in the teaching of theoretical disciplines

Автором предложен взаимосвязанный последовательный комплекс использования интерактивных технологий в процессе преподавания теоретических дисциплин. Образовательные технологии интерактивного характера позволяют решить исследовательскую проблему, которая заключается в отсутствии образовательных технологий, позволяющих студентам с доминирующим типом «клипового» мышления, усваивать «статичные» теоретические знания и понимать их применимость в повседневной личной и профессиональной жизнедеятельности. Использованные ресурсы помогают «геймифицировать» и «визуализировать» образовательный процесс, мотивировать и вовлекать студентов в каждое отдельное занятие. Теоретическая освоенность (категориальный аппарат, теоретическая осведомленность и т.д.) также совершенствуется, приобретаются необходимые в будущей профессиональной деятельности навыки.The author offers a coherent set of interactive technologies which is used in the teaching of theoretical disciplines. Educational technology can solve the interactive nature of the research problem, which is the lack of educational technologies for teaching students with the dominant type of “clip" thinking, assimilate 'static' theoretical knowledge and understanding of their applicability in daily personal and professional life. Resources that are used to help “gamification” and “visualize” the educational process, to motivate and engage students in every single lesson. Theoretical assimilation (categorical apparatus, theoretical knowledge, etc.) also improved, to acquire the necessary skills for future professional activities

THE CULTURE OF COMMUNICATIVE PARTICIPATION OF YOUTH IN POLAND, ARMENIA AND RUSSIA FOR THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT: RESEARCH RESULTS

The subject of the study is the impact of the development of information and communication technologies, the digitalization of social space on the culture of social participation of young people in post-communist countries (Poland, Armenia and the Russian Federation). The central concept of the implemented research is that today's youth, who have ample opportunities for social participation in the development of the territory of their residence, are poorly included in these processes due to the uneven formation of a culture of information participation. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the results of a sociological study of student youth in Poland, Armenia and Russia, the national specificity in the formation of a culture of information participation of students in the development of cities is shown, general factors determining the level of this participation are identified. Based on the results of the study, the authors proposed a classification of the levels of youth participation in the information promotion of their city: zero, elementary, advanced and professional

DIGITAL UNIVERSITY: APPROACHES TO THE CONCEPT DEFINITION

Introduction. The modern period of development of higher education is directly related to the ongoing digital transformation of public relations. The changes that occur in universities, in their external interactions and functions, basic principles and value-normative foundations, require methodological analysis and research. Aim. The aim of the research is to analyse the theoretical approaches to disclosing the concept and essence of digital universities. Methodology and research methods. The mix-method was used as a research design: qualitative analysis (studying the content of theoretical sources and context, analysing the content of a concept) and quantitative analysis (scientometric analysis of publications and keywords in databases). Results. The study showed that in the methodological terms, there is a problem of defining the concept of “digital university”: there are several theoretical approaches based on different understanding of the phenomenon and its role in the digital development of the university. The methodological problem is complicated by the urgent need to systematise the practical activities of modern universities, which classify themselves in one way or another in the “digital” format; therefore, this is much more difficult to do without a coordinated approach to the concept itself. Scientific novelty lies in an attempt to systematise theoretical approaches to defining the concept of “digital university” and the problem of the absence of a holistic interdisciplinary approach has been identified. Practical significance of the study is associated with the need to develop a regulatory model of a digital university based on a holistic concept for the subsequent analysis of the activities of universities. The results of the analysis can be used in scientific discussion to further define the concept of “digital university” and develop a general model of a digital university. © 2022 Authors.
