The leading trend of our time is the ever deeper penetration of digitalization and informatization into various areas of the life of today's society. In this regard, there is a need to supplement the traditional learning process with the use of electronic educational resources, as a necessary component of the formation of information culture and information competence of both teachers and students. This article describes approaches to determining the essence and features of the development and use of electronic educational resources.

The analysis of the state of digital transformation of education is carried out. The possibilities of virtual tools in expanding the range of educational tasks and strengthening the practical training of students are shown. The trends of educational changes in pedagogical practice are outlined.

Digitalization of education has been relevant for the last 15-20 years. A new round in the development of this idea happened during the pandemic, when it was important to learn how to work (train and educate the younger generation) at a distance, without leaving their homes. Modern documents also reflect the need to use various Internet resources and digital tools in the framework of educational work with students, for example, in the "Strategy for the development of education in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025". This problem is currently relevant, which is reflected by numerous studies in this area. The purpose of the study was to verify the statement that the implementation of some educational technologies would be more effective when using digital means, since virtual space is the same part of life as reality for the younger generation. The leading method is experimental work and methods of statistical processing of experimental data. As a result of the conducted research, the following conclusions can be drawn: digitalization of education is really an urgent problem of the educational process as a whole; work on the creation of digital content for the education of the younger generation is being carried out in many educational institutions, but in different directions; students are more willing to take part in virtual excursions than to go on real ones; motivation in learning the information that classmates have created independently is higher than the similar one proposed by the teacher. The theoretical significance of our research is presented by the analysis of the problem of using various digital tools in the framework of educational activities when working with students, substantiating the positive and negative aspects of using digital tools. The variants of application of some educational technologies (activity organization technology, goal setting technology) and methods (educational situation, persuasion method, example) in the digital aspect are also proposed. The practical significance of the research lies in the application of certain technologies and methods of education within the framework of digitalization of educational activity, which have shown their effectiveness (within the framework of our experiment) and can be used in the development of educational work programs.

An important element of the educational process in a modern pedagogical university is the methodological component of the future primary school teacher training, since the qualitative selection of the educational content ensures a high level of graduates’ readiness for professional activity. In this regard, the search for updated effective tools and the content of methodological training with a focus on the modern digital educational environment becomes relevant. The purpose of the article is to consider the technology of modeling the process of methodological training of future primary education teachers, to consider the potential of methodological training of students in the context of digital transformation of the education system at the Mordovian State Pedagogical University named after M. E. Evseviev. To achieve this goal, principal methodological approaches were used, among which an important place is given to systemic, personality-oriented and reflexive approaches. The article provides a detailed theoretical analysis of the stated problem, characterizes the structural components of the model of methodological training of future primary school teachers, identifies the problems of methodological training of bachelors through experimental research, and develops a theoretical justification for modeling methodological training of students in the context of digital transformation. The main results of the study will ensure the actualization of scientific knowledge in terms of the content and methodological training of students, taking into account the specifics of modern education. The theoretical significance of the article is in determining the main directions of modeling the process of methodological training of a future primary school teacher in the context of digital transformation. The practical significance of the article is determined by the possibility of using digital tools and organizing communication in the modern digital world as a part of classical training of future bachelors at the Faculty of Pedagogical and Art Education of the Mordovian State Pedagogical University named after M. E. Evseviev.

The relevance of this article is due to the problem of insufficient speed and efficiency of the education system development in the context of digitalization and its consequences: rapidly growing information flows, which create the problem of student orientation, as well as the rapid development of digital technologies. The aim of this article is to justify the effectiveness of backward design technology in planning the educational process of a university in the context of the digital transformation of society. It is noted that changes caused by digitalization affect not only the goals of the educational process, but also its components, however, the dynamism of changes should not disrupt the systematic nature of the educational process. In the article, the educational process at a university is considered as a dynamic system with changing parameters and the influence of external conditions, and the concept of backward design is proposed to be used for planning and developing educational programs and educational materials, since it allows you to build changes in individual elements depending on changes in the result. The author notes that backward design should be considered as a strategic approach for the development and implementation of innovative teaching methods and models based on digital technologies. The article also examines the basic principles and stages of backward design, including defining learning objectives, developing effective assessment methods, creating content, and selecting appropriate technologies. The advantages and challenges associated with the introduction of the concept of backward design into the educational process are considered. The need to develop the competences of participants in the educational process, including teachers and students, for the successful implementation of this concept is noted. Particular attention is paid to the problem of uncertain formulation of terms in pedagogy during the transition to the digital environment. The author notes that the digital environment requires a clear and structured description of objects, especially when using algorithms and machine learning. In conclusion, the importance of applying the concept of backward design for the effective transformation of the educational process of a university in the context of digitalization is emphasized and several practical recommendations and resources are proposed that can be used to support the process of implementing backward design in educational institutions.
