Abstract

The digital transformation of processes and technologies in the economy, society, and, of course, education is a fact. The new reality is inexorably conquering whole areas of life, turning privacy into a ghost of the past, completely blurring
statuses, borders, and distances between people, «compressing» time, and making almost any information available for learning, work, and recreation. «Digital solutions»
to help educational establishments’ development have their origins in the problem of
the introduction of information and communication technology, as well as the even
earlier problem of the use of technological tools in educational establishments. In a
sense, it is one of the directions of technological progress.
In the aftermath of the education pandemic, some events have not yet been fully
studied and understood by us - the real and virtual «flow» of students from schools
to the online space, the transformation of teaching methods, ambivalent attitude to
gadgets, the collapse of «traditional» learning and memorization of learning material
by children, the saturation of educational establishments with electronic tools and
resources.
The purpose of the study was to determine the role of distance learning in the
modern educational process. A survey was conducted among teachers and students to
determine regional readiness for digital learning. According to the results of the survey, it was found that the educational sphere of Kazakhstan is ready to adopt distance learning and use Blended learning in learning.
Key words: digital technology, online learning, educational systems, culture,
modern information space
