In the context of digitalization of the preschool education system, there are reasonable risks in the field of psychological safety of the child's personality. The widespread use of digital resources in the process of teaching, upbringing and development of preschoolers undoubtedly contributes to a deeper realization of the personal creative potential, intensive cognitive development, stimulates cognitive interest and motivating component of children's activities. At the same time, the problem of the negative impact of digitalization on the emotional sphere of a preschooler actively immersed in the digital world remains relevant. The purpose of the article is to identify the specific features of the use of electronic content in the education, upbringing and development of preschool children in terms of ensuring their psychological safety using the example of the work at the Pelican educational center of M. E. Evseviev Mordovia State Pedagogical University. The research used the following methods: theoretical and comparative analysis of sources, experimental and mathematical methods. The study used several methodological approaches and principles: personality-oriented, activity-based approaches, principles of expediency, polymodality, adaptability, which allowed us to consider digital resources and tools as effective and safe means of teaching, upbringing and development of a child. Understanding the psychological safety of a person as a certain state of the psyche, manifested in the integrity, sustainability of development, adaptability and flexibility of a person, the ability to control oneself, led the authors to the idea that psychological safety is possible only in a comfortable educational environment, as well as under the condition of developing proper requirements for the use of digital tools in working with preschool children. Based on these requirements, its content includes various software and digital products selected in accordance with the training areas of preschool education and relevant areas of additional education for children: cognitive, artistic and aesthetic, socio-communicative and speech developing, physical development, sports and health protection, the development of natural scientific thinking and technical creativity. The authors have identified positive dynamics in the level of emotional intelligence development, anxiety and negative emotional states of children. The results obtained show that it was possible to ensure the psychological safety of preschoolers with the active use of digital resources and technologies. The theoretical significance and novelty of the study lies in identifying the methodological foundations and specifics of the use of digital resources in working with preschoolers without compromising psychological safety. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the results and conclusions obtained will contribute to improving the process of digitalization of preschool education, ensuring the personal psychological comfort of the children with the active use of digital resources.

The development of students' sustained interest in physical education and sports (PES) is one of the key tasks of modern higher education. The student period is characterized by intensive development of physical abilities, active processes of socialization and professional self-determination, which objectively emphasizes the special importance of physical education at the university. At the same time, practice reveals significant problems: there is a low level of student involvement in sports events, and traditional methods of physical education demonstrate insufficient effectiveness. In the context of digitalization of education, there are both certain challenges and new opportunities. On the one hand, the widespread use of digital devices contributes to a decrease in physical activity. On the other hand, innovative forms of digital content and technologies are emerging that open up prospects for the natural integration of physical activity into everyday life and the learning process. In this regard, a comprehensive study of the pedagogical conditions that contribute to the development of interest in physical education, motivational factors that determine student engagement, as well as the potential of modern digital solutions in the field of physical education is of particular relevance. The aim of the work is to identify the pedagogical conditions and motivational factors that contribute to the development of students' long–term interest in physical education and sports at the university. To achieve this goal, a set of research methods was applied, including the analysis of scientific literature on the problem of students' motivation to engage in PES, questionnaires, organizing a pedagogical experiment with students, as well as mathematical processing and comparative analysis of the data obtained. In the course of the research, the authors made a comprehensive analysis of the works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the issues of students' motivation to engage in PES. An important stage was the empirical experiment, which clearly demonstrated the high effectiveness of innovative technologies – VR training, dance simulators Just Dance and RPG adventures Ring Fit Adventure. The theoretical significance of the conducted research lies in the expansion of scientific ideas about the pedagogical conditions that contribute to increasing students' motivation to PES. The practical significance of the work is determined by the fact that its results can be used to improve the educational process and foster sustainable physical education and sports interests among students, which is especially important in today's educational environment.
