a fundamental transformation of the modern
educational system.
The
widespread
organization
of
the
digital
environment and digitization in today’s world is being
applied to key aspects of societal development,
including growth, stability, security, and their
implementation in the economy. Scholars emphasize
that “Digitization constitutes a powerful tool with
great potential and a forward-
looking perspective.”
The new opportunities created by digital technologies
are leading to changes in worldviews, requiring the
integration of emerging transformations into a unified,
holistic system, as noted by T.S. Akhromeyeva, G.G.
Malineskiy, S.A. Posashkov, and others.
According to the American researcher Naomi De La
Tour, from this perspective, digital pedagogy can
mainly be associated with higher education, while
online learning can be linked to technologies used in
higher education. In digitization, teachers have more
freedom than students in choosing the educational
path. She points out that there are three main
positions transforming education through digital
technologies, and these could not be implemented
before the start of integration.
First, we talk about the flexibility of learning, which
refers to the ability to change the place, speed, and
method of learning. To support her position, the
author focuses on the increasing use of blended
learning, hybrid, and fully interactive distance learning
courses, which provide students with the opportunity
to integrate their education with other aspects of their
lives. This represents a radical shift in education
through digital technologies.
Second, there has been a sharp change in the
acquisition of knowledge, skills, and qualifications,
which are based on their app
lication in students’ future
work in the digital world. This is related to the attitude
towards forming digital competencies, and, in this
regard, teachers need to receive, search for, refine,
comprehend, differentiate, classify, and develop large
volumes of information.
Third, due to the capabilities of digital technologies,
students can communicate with others around the
world, which promotes cultural awareness and
supports the globalization of professional activities.
In the context of the integration processes of higher
education and digital technologies, it is necessary to
turn to philosophical concepts and categories that
explain the changes in the interactions of educational
process participants and uncover the specific
characteristics of these interactions. The positions of
science on understanding human life, interaction, and
educational processes under conditions of digital
technology implementation have become significantly
more complex in terms of theoretical justification and
practical application.
In our opinion, the characteristics of digitization are
reflected in the following positions:
1.
All types of components are transitioning from
analog, physical, and static states to the digital
environment and, at the same time, into the
process of data mobilization. At the same time,
individuals gain the ability to manage their
personal activities, send information requests,
and form an individual trajectory of
information activities.

2.
The transition to simple communication
technologies is occurring, where the main
characteristic of devices and technology is the
convenience of the management process.
3.
Communications are becoming differentiated:
vertical, hierarchical communication is losing
its relevance, and communication is shifting to
a networked system.
Digitization is, in our opinion, one of the key factors
that transforms today’s state of general mass culture
into a culture of collaboration. The pace of changes in
the education system has not only accelerated, but the
mechanisms of teaching have also changed. Traditional
classroom students have also transitioned from being
consumers of culture to its producers. Social networks
have made it possible to collaboratively create
intellectual products with cultural value.
Digital education is a learning strategy that uses
technology to deliver the entire curriculum and allows
students to learn more quickly. Students use laptops,
tablets, and similar technological or internet-
connected gadgets. Instead of merely recording what
the teacher teaches, most of the curriculum is
delivered to students in an engaging and interactive
way online. To better retain what they have learned,
students solidify their understanding of the material
through quizzes and tests taken on computers. The
internet has led to the emergence of new
communication
channels,
which
expand
the
opportunities for transmitting and using educational
information. Digital technologies create opportunities
for distance learning, such as studying prestigious
university programs in other countries and acquiring
knowledge. Achieving digital economy indicators is
based on developing a key model of competencies for
various scientific fields. In education, the main model is
the unity of digital economy competencies based on
tasks solved by the teacher as a social subject. The core
competencies include the activity component of
solving general (“non
-
specific”) tasks.
According to F. Anarbaeva and A. Korayev,
“Digitalization of education, on the one hand,
promotes the development of online communication
integration between students and teachers, and on the
other hand, fosters students’ independent learning
skills using advanced educational technologies. This is
essential in applying the new trends of digitalization to
the education process during the current development
stage.”
Digital education is crucial for future leaders as it
enhances their creativity and ability to work with new
ideas. Using distance learning technologies, students
gain quick and easy access to information, which helps
them make rapid decisions. The interactivity of the
educational process and the ease of managing
information facilitate knowledge sharing and increase
students’ enthusiasm for learning while strengthening
their socio-cultural competencies.
N.G. Muravyeva notes that the established approaches
to studying socio-cultural competence have not
sufficiently considered its specific nature under the
conditions of education digitization. In particular, the
process of transforming socio-cultural competence has
not been fully examined. With the help of computers
and multimedia technologies, students develop the
following competencies: language competence, as the
computer significantly simplifies the process of
learning foreign languages, and socio-cultural
competence, as it allows students to engage in socio-
cultural communication with representatives of other
cultures through the internet, thus creating

intercultural dialogue. However, we must not forget
that the computer alone does not form communicative
and socio-cultural competencies. It is merely a tool, and
its potential provides teachers with a broad scope of
activities to increase the efficiency of the entire
pedagogical process and develop the main educational
strategies and competencies.
One of the factors in increasing the effectiveness of
digital technologies in education is the creation of an
efficient system capable of determining the quality of
the educational process and providing an objective
assessment of the institution’s educatio
nal activities.
Quality education is an educational process organized
on the basis of modern pedagogical and digital
technologies, where the joint motivational and
intellectual activities of both the teacher and the
learner are understood as part of a single goal.
Teaching and educating through computer and
multimedia technologies is always a part of digital
education. By digital education, we mean a
systematically organized structure where all conditions
are created using multimedia that promotes education
and upbringing. According to our research, digital
education is, in our opinion, an ideal source of various
socio-cultural information. The conditions of digital
education encompass a wide range of mass media and
auxiliary tools. Moreover, digital education encourages
engagement with the outside world, which particularly
stimulates the learning process. The conditions of
digital education are based on the awareness of being
part of a consciously organized social world, relying on
students’ activity and int
ellect during the learning
process.
Thus, over the past decade, a series of studies have
been conducted in economically developed foreign
countries regarding the issue of creating a digital
learning environment. In the last five years, this issue
has also become relevant in Uzbekistan. The COVID-19
pandemic has made this problem even more urgent.
Therefore, Uzbekistan’s higher education institutions
have gained initial practical experience in organizing
online education. Today, the structure of classrooms
and the process of preparing future leaders have
changed significantly, as effective preparation in a
digital environment is now required. Classrooms are
equipped with computers, iPads, tablets, smart
boards, and other types of educational technology.
Like in other parts of the world, Uzbekistan is seeing an
increase in the “seven
-
screen generation”—
students
who are accustomed to using televisions, computers,
tablets,
tablets,
phablets,
smartphones,
and
smartwatches. Due to the dense digital environment
and constant interaction with it, the way students
process information today is fundamentally different
from previous generations. Today’s students, including
future leaders, have grown up in a multi-screen
environment, and their thinking and information
processing are different from earlier generations. They
require educational processes that are adapted to
modern information and communication technologies
and innovative educational models based on didactics.
This process helps to prepare competitive and modern
leaders.
The wide implementation of digital technologies in
education increases the quality of the educational
process, making it more effective and engaging. The
use of new digital tools in teaching strengthens the
interaction between students and teachers, enhancing
interactive approaches in education. Moreover,
students acquire the skills to work in a digital
environment and gain the opportunity to learn on a
global scale. At the same time, the effective use of

digital technologies plays an important role in
preparing modern leaders and developing their
creative potential. In Uzbekistan, the development of
digital education and the expansion of distance
learning are also playing a significant role in adapting
the national education system to international
standards.
