On the development of didactic systems in the context of digital transformation of vocational education (part 1)

Problem statement. The widespread use of modern digital and network technologies in the educational process of professional school has led to the need to analyze innovative experience from the standpoint of general theory and didactics of vocational education and development of relevant areas of pedagogical theory in the context of digital transformation. The tasks of improving the training of highly professional personnel in engineering, technical and technological areas and specialties are becoming most relevant in sanctions conditions. To this end, the theory of didactic systems of technical education in the context of digital transformation is being developed, and formulation of a model didactic system of higher education has begun in groups of subject areas of knowledge that provide training for oil and gas industry. Methodology. The authors identify the differences and interrelation of the concepts of “didactic theory” and “didactic system”, and formulate the main methodological provisions of didactic systems in higher education and approaches to the development of specific systems. The conceptual provisions of use of digital technologies in construction of didactic systems and the features of development of didactic systems for technical education are considered. Results. Methodological foundations for the construction of didactic systems in higher technical education in the context of digital transformation have been developed, a number of methodological provisions of the theory of digital and network transformation of education have been formulated, and the development of a model didactic system has begun. Conclusion. The results of methodological research allow us to move on to the development of methods and techniques for the formation of didactic systems in higher technical schools. Many provisions are important for the entire system of general and vocational education and allow for the deployment of similar studies in the system of secondary vocational education.
