Continuous learning, the use of VR and AR technologies, gamification in learning and open online educational platforms - we will talk about these and other changes in the near future in the article.

Continuous learning process
Thanks to technological progress, the world is changing rapidly, information is constantly updated, professional spheres are improving, new directions are emerging and the need for new specialists is increasing. One of the main trends is tracking current data and constantly learning new knowledge and skills.

Gamification
Already, foreign language learning apps offer learning through games that help learn words and grammar, and develop communication skills. And cartoon characters that act as a curator and assistant in learning have become a real trend in online education. In the future, gamification will be introduced into almost all disciplines to increase student motivation and change attitudes toward mistakes, which should be perceived as part of the process, not a failure.

VR and AR technologies
Boring theory from textbooks will be replaced by visual examples from on page seo service virtual reality. Students will be able not only to learn about a historical event from a book, but also to directly visit it using VR glasses. And VR and AR technologies may also help solve the problem of “live communication” in a remote learning format.

Adaptive learning
To improve the quality of knowledge, it is necessary to study according to an individual program that will take into account the needs of the student, his cognitive abilities and existing knowledge. Such programs exist now, but they cannot be applied in all areas yet.

Free online educational platforms
Every year, education becomes more accessible, free online courses, webinars, knowledge bases appear. In the future, it is predicted that an educational platform will open, which will collect lectures and practical classes from universities, colleges, various webinars, courses, master classes, a library - all in one place. Educational materials will be openly available.

By the way, our country already has such a platform “Russia — the Country of Opportunities” , it hosts 26 competitions, projects, Olympiads for schoolchildren, students and specialists, more than 100 online courses and webinars on a variety of topics, from the development of leadership and communication skills to financial and digital literacy. Participation in projects and training is free for everyone.

Changing Role of the Teacher
If earlier the teacher was the only source of knowledge, now almost any information can be found on the Internet. This means that the role of the modern teacher is gradually being transformed into the role of a mentor who sets the direction, involves students in learning, teaches logical and critical thinking. And homework will be checked by chatbots, with the help of which the educational process is automated.

We also asked Petr Sergeevich Cheremukhin, director of the Municipal Educational Institution “Engineering School of the City of Komsomolsk-on-Amur”, to talk about trends in education.



“The article outlines promising trends in the development of education, the relevance of which is dictated to us by the level of development of technologies and means of communication around us.

The continuity of the learning process is associated with constant changes in the requirements for the competencies of specialists, the emergence of new professions and the introduction of breakthrough technologies in various areas.

Gamification is a modern and effective tool for increasing learning motivation, which is closely related to the change in the role of the teacher. The teacher is gradually turning into a mentor, which means that the tools for such a transformation can be gamification, project activities and other practice-oriented forms that are interesting for children.

VR and AR technologies are one of the best visual aids today and not only. For example, when preparing for high-tech NTO Olympiads, students use VR technology to perform practical tasks on nanotechnology in a virtual laboratory.

Adaptive learning and individual educational trajectories are one of the leading ideas for transforming education today, and free online educational platforms are one of the important tools for such transformation.”

To summarize: in the near future, education will become even more accessible, the main lessons will be more engaging due to elements of gamification, VR and AR technologies, the learning system will acquire an individual format, and teachers will transform into mentors helping to create a development track.
