EXPERIMENTAL MODELS FOR DEVELOPING SKILLS IN USING DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION PROCESS
Abstract
This study explores experimental models for developing students’ skills in using digital educational resources in higher education. It examines how digital transformation in education influences the formation of digital competencies and enhances learning outcomes. The research analyzes several pedagogical models, including competency-based, adaptive learning, blended learning, and project-based approaches, emphasizing their role in improving students’ digital literacy, autonomy, and critical thinking skills. The study also highlights the importance of integrating information and communication technologies (ICT), learning management systems, and interactive digital platforms into the educational process. Findings indicate that structured experimental models significantly improve students’ engagement, academic performance, and ability to apply digital tools effectively in academic and professional contexts. The research concludes that successful implementation of digital educational resources depends on institutional support, teacher preparedness, and adequate technological infrastructure.References
