Abstract

Introduction. The use of digital technologies is now an important part of the educational process. This process is constantly changing due to various factors and the emergence of new digital tools. Such changes are significant in the context of the quality of education and require constant monitoring. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the use of digital educational tools and the tasks that teachers solve using digital tools. Materials and Methods. A total of 594 teachers between the ages of 20 and 76 participated in the study. 93 percent of respondents were women. The questionnaire “Digital Technologies in the Educational Process” was used for data collection. Results. Electronic gradebooks or diaries are a popular digital tool, while digital educational resources and communication systems with students and parents are used less frequently. E-textbooks proved to be an unpopular digital tool. Educators more frequently use digital technologies for communication with colleagues and students, and less often for planning extracurricular activities and implementing project-based learning. Comparative analysis shows that young specialists frequently use lesson planning systems, while teachers with over 30 years of experience more often use digital technologies for attendance tracking. Primary school teachers utilize digital technologies more often than others. Educators in larger population centers use digital technologies for attendance tracking, extracurricular activity planning, and communication. Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study indicate a high level of integration of digital technologies into the educational process and a transition from routine to innovative use. The results of the study can be used both to clarify or expand the functions of existing digital educational tools and to provide more targeted professional development for teachers. © Руднова Н.
