SOCIAL AND NETWORK COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE AS AN ELEMENT OF DIGITAL LITERACY OF GENERATION Z // Pedagogical Review. 2020. Issue 1 (29). P. 129-136

The key approaches to the conceptualization of the concept of digital literacy in foreign and Russian research discourse are considered. Along with the classical interpretation of P. Gilster of digital literacy as the understanding and use of information using a computer, the author analyzes functionalistic and cognitive approaches to the interpretation of digital literacy. There is a shortage of approaches to the analysis of competencies associated with effective communication and adaptation to the social network communication culture of youth. New conceptualization proposed social and network digital literacy as an element of network digital culture and digital literacy of generation Z. Based on the estimates and opinions of representatives of the digital generation identified as a result of a series of field studies in the framework of a research project devoted to the study of the network culture of generation Z, the content of the following complex is revealed, communicative and pragmatic competencies that form social network digital literacy: linguistic competency in the production of multi-genre social network content and effective feedback; communicative competencies in organizing contexts of social network communication with various user audiences; practical and normative competencies to comply with ethical standards and etiquette requirements and to maintain conflict-free social network communication; the competencies of social network self-presentation. It is concluded that a discussion of the need to educate and acquire competencies related to adaptation to generation Z network communication culture can serve as a key to bridging the digital divide between generations.

DIGITAL LITERACY OF TEACHERS // Pedagogical Review. 2022. Issue 5 (45). P. 39-47

It is noted that the transition to a distance learning format during the pandemic revealed a low level of digital literacy of teachers, which hinders the effective organization of the educational process with online tools. Attention is focused on the lack of development of criteria and indicators of digital literacy among teachers, the lack of its monitoring in general education organizations. The approaches of foreign and Russian researchers to the definition of the content of the concept of digital literacy as a benchmark for the digital transformation of the education system are analyzed. The authors adhered to an expanded interpretation of digital literacy as an element of mastering the culture of the digital age, which implies the presence of broad competencies in the field of search, production, communication and distribution of digital content and information, as well as the conversion of digital skills into pedagogical technologies. In order to identify the understanding of the structure of digital literacy by teachers in the context of limited remote interaction using digital means, the authors used the focus group method in an online format to conduct the study. Based on self-assessment of teachers, deficits in digital pedagogical training of teachers are determined in the context of organizing distance learning in the system of general education based on an analysis of the situation in the Siberian Federal District. A preliminary comparative assessment of the structure and level of digital literacy with students, obtained on the basis of self-analysis of the adaptive educational practices of teachers during the pandemic crisis, is proposed.

The problem of artificial intelligence technology acceptance in the educational environment: Pedagogical resistance and implementation strategies // Pedagogical Review. 2024. Issue 5 (57). P. 154-166

The article analyzes the problems of AI technology acceptance in the educational environment. The study is based on the AIDUA adoption model and includes empirical data on digital acceptance/ resistance to AI adoption by the pedagogical community. The authors identify the socio-psychological and organizational roots of pedagogical digital resistance, offering recommendations for acceleration of AI adoption in teaching practices. The results of the empirical study allow to characterize the attitudes of digital resistance to the introduction of AI technologies. Primarily, these are related to the underestimation of social influence and expectations arising from the speed of technology diffusion, concerns about the potential of using AI technologies and the possible replacement of the educational staff due to the non-anthropomorphic nature of digital assistants, and fears of losing the emotional and personal component of education. The authors also investigate the relevant factors of restraint at different levels of the pedagogical community due to the inaccessibility of necessary resources, the lack of common approaches and protocols for the use of AI technologies, resistance on the part of the pedagogical community based on the preservation of traditions and values of classical education. The proposed strategies and organizational approaches are aimed at reducing resistance and creating a favorable environmental climate conducive to the successful introduction of new technologies in the educational process. The article highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach and integrated strategy for the effective use of the potential of artificial intelligence in education.
