Application of the smse digital learning ecosystem in the training of automotive transport professionals

Abstract

The article explores approaches to transforming the educational process in higher technical education within the context of digitalization and the demands of Industry 4.0. The feasibility of implementing a Smart Ecosystem of the Digital Learning Environment (SMSE) is substantiated. This ecosystem integrates modern digital tools, adaptive technologies, and innovative pedagogical methods to support student-centered and competency-based learning. The proposed approach was tested using courses in the "Automotive Transport" specialty, taking into account the levels of cognitive activity based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. The findings show that the implementation of the SMSE promotes the development of critical thinking, practical skills, and student motivation, while also ensuring flexibility and personalization of the educational process. Key challenges related to digital transformation in education are outlined, along with directions for further research related to the integration of specialized software, adaptive platforms, and overcoming digital inequality.
