Abstract

This article presents the results of a study examining the organizational and educational component of digital competence among researchers and academic staff in Ukraine. The research was conducted as part of a professional development course organized by the Institute for Digitalization of Education of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine in August-September 2024, involving 344 respondents. The study analyzes the level of adoption and usage patterns of four key digital tool categories: cloud storage services, video conferencing platforms, messaging applications, and online collaborative boards. The findings reveal an extremely high level of adaptation to digital communication tools, with nearly 98% of respondents using cloud storage services (predominantly Google Drive), virtually 100% utilizing video conferencing platforms (led by Zoom at 93% and Google Meet at 85%), and almost complete coverage of messaging applications (with Telegram and Viber each used by 93% of respondents). However, online collaborative boards showed significantly lower adoption rates, with 41% of respondents not using any such tools. The research also identified knowledge gaps in the organizational and educational component of digital competence, with approximately one-third of respondents unable to name additional services or formulate specific questions regarding the development of this component. Particular interest was expressed in artificial intelligence integration in organizational work, digital ethics, security, netiquette, and effective implementation of digital tools in educational management. The results indicate a high level of adaptation to basic digital tools for communication and data sharing, but insufficient utilization of specialized collaborative functions. There is a clear demand for comprehensive knowledge about effectively integrating various digital tools into administrative and educational processes, as well as guidance on selecting the most efficient services for different aspects of organizational and educational activities. The study provides valuable insights for developing targeted interventions to enhance the organizational and educational component of digital competence among academic professionals, which is particularly relevant in the context of forced acceleration of digital transformation in education due to the current challenges facing Ukraine.
