Abstract
In the modern higher education system, the implementation and development of educational technologies has become a priority, generating both great opportunities and significant challenges.
This article addresses the urgency of implementing new educational technologies in the learning process of higher education institutions and the issues of future demand for classical education. The development of innovative approaches in education is dictated by current requirements, supported at the state level and by labor market needs.
Currently, there are no clear answers to the question of what education should be like to meet the requirements of future needs. Many universities are transforming the structure of teaching and the organization of the educational process. However, the question of the right choice and combination of technologies and forms of learning remains relevant.
Practical orientation, an individualized approach, continuity, digitalization, online education, and ensuring interdisciplinary connections — or a combination of all these forms and technologies applied in the educational process are important conditions for the formation of educational service offerings in response to the changing labor market.
Among the main issues in the development of educational technologies in higher education are financial constraints that hinder the formation of necessary infrastructure. Insufficient professional development and training leads to a lack of digital skills among faculty. Resistance to innovation and adherence to old conservative methods is also often noticeable.
Digital inequality remains a pressing issue — the difference in access to digital tools and skills among students. Ensuring technical quality, cybersecurity, and data privacy also remains a challenge. However, several main trends are currently observed: the spread of hybrid and blended learning models, the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools for personalized educational experiences, and the growing role of virtual and augmented reality technologies in practical training. Therefore, effective management of these changes will play a decisive role in the future of higher education.
