| Annotation: | The paper presents a historiographical analysis of the genesis of the definition of the teacher’s digital culture within the context of the technological transformation of Russian education (1980-2025) and the evolution of its determining categories, aiming to identify the core characteristics of the concept. The methodology comprised historical- genetic and comparative analysis of conceptual constructs, which enabled the examination of continuity and interdependence between successively evolving concepts. Three stages in the definition’s evolution are identified and synchronized with shifts in technological paradigms (computerization, informatization, and digitalization). The teacher’s digital culture is defined as a metacategory formed through a non-linear process of substantive expansion and synthesis of four key determining categories: computer literacy, information literacy, information culture, and digital literacy. Factors of semantic volatility are established: technological determinism, changes in the regulatory framework, and socio-cultural challenges. The scientific novelty lies in developing an original periodization and systematization of the concept’s evolution, linked to the stages of technological development in Russian education from 1980 to 2025, and in identifying the factors of its semantic volatility. The conducted analysis confirms that the evolution of the concept reflects a general logic of transition from instrumental mastery of technologies to the value-semantic integration of digital practices into professional pedagogical culture. This conclusion is crucial for designing modern programs for teachers’ professional development. The research creates a theoretical foundation for overcoming methodological contradictions and creating models to develop digital culture among educators within the framework of additional professional education. This will contribute to achieving a qualitatively new level of readiness among teaching staff for effective activity within the continuously evolving digital educational environment. | ||
