ACTIVITY-BASED METHODS OF FORMING DIGITAL SKILLS IN ECONOMIC UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The digital transformation of education leads to the modernization of existing teaching methods. The activity-based approach, now firmly established in pedagogical practice, requires adaptation to the new digital possibilities. The aim of the study is to present a methodology for the application of activity-based learning technologies in the context of digitalization of vocational education, the object is activity-based learning methods in the digital educational environment of a university, and the subject is the formation of digital skills of first-year students of an economic university. When adjusting existing approaches to learning and creating new ones, it is necessary to take into account the psychological characteristics of modern students: multitasking, existence in digital content, pragmatism and non-linear perception of the world. The article discusses examples of teaching methods for various types of activities: the perception of information, its use and obtaining results. The authors describe their experience in the implementation of activity-based technologies for the formation of digital skills within the discipline Digital Mathematics for first-year bachelor students of the Financial University. The authors consider the need to flexibly combine the traditional fundamental approach to learning at Russian universities with modern digital and technical capabilities to be an important challenge. Such interactive forms of teaching are offered: processing real data on the example of creating a table in RStudio; creation of digital educational content the development of a digital glossary of the discipline in the R language and creative practice-oriented tasks using the example of creating a scoring form in MS Excel. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is confirmed by a survey conducted among students. The scientific novelty and theoretical significance of the study lies in the adaptation of activity-based learning technologies to the digitalization of education and the expansion of opportunities for activity-based learning in modern universities. The practical significance of the work lies in the development of methods for teaching intellectual actions in the formation of professional digital skills for bachelor students of the University of Economics.
