The pedagogical tools of digital didactics. Education & Pedagogy Journal. 2024;4(12):5-17. DOI:

This article provides a theoretical analysis of two didactic methods: classical didactics and digital didactics. Classical didactics, as a branch of pedagogy, explores basic principles and teaching methods and emphasizes the role of the teacher in conveying given content and developing essential skills and competencies in students. In contrast, digital didactics is an emerging field that deals with the organization of educational processes in the context of the digital transformation of society. The primary goal is to craft learning experiences that leverage modern information technologies, emphasizing active, independent student engagement. The article highlights the key principles, pedagogical tools, and educational outcomes that differentiate classical from digital didactics. At the center of the article is an explicit description of the pedagogical tools of digital didactics. It contains verified examples of the implementation of digital didactics in the Russian education system. It is stated that digital didactics is a comprehensive approach to organizing the educational process. This approach encompasses personalized learning, broadening the academic context, gamification, online learning, the application of artificial intelligence, and the ongoing enhancement of the digital learning environment.
