Trends of Development of Higher Education in Generations Theory in Digital Global Economy

Abstract

The article studies the tendencies of the development of higher education in the era of the digital global economy on the basis of the interdisciplinary approach. A method of critical analysis is used to promote the disclosure of contradictions between the trends in the development of the digital global economy and the state of higher education at the present stage, as well as the method of interpretation that allows us to come closer to understanding the tasks that the higher education system must solve through studying the characteristics of the current generation of students. An interpretation of the features of the modern educational process in the era of digital economy through the prism of the theory of generations (The Strauss-Howe Generational Theory) is given. The problem of search for actual models of higher education is investigated, and the necessity of finding ways of adapting higher education to the global challenges of modernity in the situation of reducing the influence of traditional teaching technologies on the younger generation is proved.
