Teaching staff of GSEM UrFU took part in the international conference

The digital economy poses new challenges for business to create innovative technologies, products, and services, which requires highly qualified specialists with a unique set of competencies. In the conditions of rapid change of technologies and as a result of the steady obsolescence of knowledge, enterprises are forced to pay special attention to regular professional development of their specialists and continuously review the requirements for the professional competencies of university graduates.

Teaching staff of the UrFU Graduate School of Economics and Management took part in the 13th annual International Conference in the Field of Education and New Educational Technologies (EDULEARN2021). Due to the limitations associated with the pandemic, the conference was held entirely in a virtual format. The conference was attended by more than 800 scientists from eighty countries of the world. EDULEARN2021 publications are freely available in the IATED electronic library and are part of a huge database of innovative projects in the field of education and technology. The researchers of GSEM UrFU presented at the conference their works related to the assessment of the experience of implementing project-based learning in the university's educational programs and the development of an adaptive learning model.

The relevance of the work lies in the fact that the digitalization of all spheres of human activity, which is a necessary condition for the sustainable growth of a high-tech economy, requires competent personnel. For their training, it is necessary to properly modernize the education system, bring educational programs in line with the needs of the digital economy, widely introduce digital tools of educational activity and integrate them holistically into the information environment, provide opportunities for lifelong learning for citizens. Such education should be built on the basis of individual educational trajectories, since each student has his own experience and an input set of competencies, his own learning speed, his own learning style and a request for learning results.

 

The conference materials will be published in the journal indexed in the international scientometric database Web of Science.
