FEATURES OF THE DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE

Abstract

This paper examines the features of the digital learning environment and its impact on pedagogical practice in preschool education. The study highlights the growing necessity of digital transformation driven by global educational reforms and the accelerated adoption of technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings reveal that digital tools not only modernize management processes within preschool institutions but also enhance educators’ professional competencies, promote the use of artificial intelligence in organizational tasks, and foster a learner-centered approach. Furthermore, the digital environment expands opportunities for interactive learning, creativity, gamification, personalized educational trajectories, and the development of children’s cognitive and socio-emotional skills. Overall, the research emphasizes that digital technologies have become a strategic component of contemporary education, contributing to quality improvement, transparency, flexibility, and environmental sustainability in pedagogical processes.
