Efficiency of digital education: from goals to results (based on the XIII summer school for Teachers-2023)

More than 3,000 people from 333 cities and 1,039 educational institutions participated in the next Summer School for Teachers-2023, organized by Yurait Publishing’s educational platform and held in webinar mode from June 26 to 30, 2023. 75 speakers gave presentations and panel discussions on the following topics: the effectiveness of digital education, the quality of digital education, the strategic goals of universities, the choice of the goal of an educational program, youth in Russia: demographic situation and prospects, evidence-based education based on digital data, rational management (analytics in educational management), storytelling and development of educational cases, use of ChatGPT by students in educational activities, personality in the digital reality of the virtual world: from Homo Sapiens to Homo Digital, digital educational environment: shared resources and individual paths, psychologically comfortable educational environment, digital scientific environment (current risks and new opportunities), ChatGPT for the teacher (free tools and digital activity of teachers, students), consideration of personal achievements as a path to student success, technological entrepreneurship (engagement, training, support). As a result of XIII Summer School for Teachers, we note that digital education is not a substitute for traditional education but is necessary for working with today’s youth. Digital technologies will not replace live communication with the teacher; they will become the most important tool for shaping the individual educational path; individualization will become the sign of quality education. The digital transformation of education should consider the best practices and provide the teacher with a wide range of technologies, services, and content to choose from because variability and flexibility are more important than standardization at this stage. It is necessary to update legal and ethical standards in the context of changes in the digital education and science environment and the development of artificial intelligence. It is necessary to develop teachers’ digital literacy, introduce hybrid learning models, and develop educational effectiveness assessments; the assessment system should move from learning assessment to the development of student’s analytical skills and systemic thinking. Artificial intelligence and ChatGPT are a serious challenge for the levels and the education system as a whole. The educational institution of the future should become an engine for the socio-economic development of the country.In this review, we will focus on individual topics and speeches.
