Abstract

The rapid development of technology and its integration into various spheres of life encourages students to develop both digital competence and personal skills from the time they are students, as this is an important characteristic for all participants in modern digital society. Today, the level of digital competence, including digital communication, collaboration, and interaction skills of future professionals while studying at a higher education institution, determines their successful employment and career development in the future. This article analyzes the content of the disciplines of the university training program for future specialists, which can help to develop digital competence skills. In the example of one of the components of digital communication, cooperation and interaction skills, the stages of formation, indicators for different levels of formation, content, and examples of presentation of educational materials are demonstrated. An approach to the formation and development of skills in digital communication, collaboration, and interaction is proposed within the framework of studying the relevant content module "Microsoft 365 Services for Digital Communication, Collaboration, and Interaction" and performing individual and collective tasks during laboratory work in the discipline "Economic Informatics" and "Information Technology". The results of an experimental study of achieving the levels of formation of digital communication, cooperation, and interaction as a component of the digital competence of future specialists are presented. A statistical analysis of the results of the experimental study is carried out and their significance is proved.
