Abstract
Background. A critical important condition for the country's informatization is the integration of new information technologies into the educational process, which is declared by the federal educational standards of higher education of the latest generation. This is largely due to integrative processes in education and to the global trends in the genesis of the information and educational environment of modern society. The relevance of the research described in the article is due to the increasing activity of using the electronic information and educational environment in the educational process. The authors, based on the results of the survey, conduct a comparative analysis of the attitude to the digital educational environment of Russian and foreign students of higher educational institutions.
Purpose. Comparison of attitudes towards the electronic information and educational environment of domestic and foreign students studying at Russian universities.
Materials and methods. To achieve the research objectives, the university's COS assessment scale was used (Scale for Assessing University Digital Educational Environment – AUDEE Scale). The research methodology is based on a set of scientific knowledge methods: analysis, comparison, methods of mathematical statistics
Results. The use of digital technologies is one of the dominant areas of modern higher education, ensuring the effectiveness of the formation of universal competencies of graduates. After analyzing the results of the survey, the authors came to the conclusion that, in general, there are no pronounced differences in the assessment of the digital educational environment of the university by Russian and foreign first-year students. At the same time, stress in foreign students is higher than in Russian and, as a result, they need more support when using digital resources in the educational process. The results obtained can be applied to the organization of the educational process of higher education.
