Abstract

Russia is on the way of radical changes in the political and economic sphere. One of the key directions of the country’s transformation is the development of information and communication technologies and increasing the efficiency of their use. This determines the future place of Russia in the global system of Information Society. The article presents the results of a pilot sociological research of the level of informatization and informationalization of the personal environment of students in Russia. The basic statistical data on the technical, program and communication provision of the personal and working environment of students are analyse on the example of the Bratsk State University. Based on them are formulated conclusions about a high level of informatization in Russia, and rather low efficiency of using information and communication technologies. Was propose a hypothesis that a low level of informationalization is determined by the low level of relevant education and training.
