Abstract
Introduction. The relevance of the research of digital technologies in education is due to their increasing integration into the educational process. Researches in this area often focus on the views of teachers, which highlights the need for a more in-depth analysis of students' experiences and their perceptions of digital learning.
The Materials and methods: review of literary sources; statistical analysis of the results of an online survey conducted from November 1 to 15, 2024 at the Kuban State Medical University.
The Results. Most respondents positively assess the available digital resources, expressing interest in specialized courses. The average satisfaction rating indicates a high level of approval of the use of information and computer technologies in teaching. The overwhelming majority of students use digital tools on a daily basis; however, problems with internet connection and sound quality during online lectures were identified.
Discussion. Distance and hybrid learning formats were the most preferable due to their flexibility. Students emphasize the importance of saving time and the ability to record lectures for later study. Despite the overall positive perception, the study identified existing problems, such as a lack of practical skills, data privacy issues, and decreased concentration.
Conclusion. The study of students' attitudes towards digital technologies in education reveals both the advantages of digitalization and the disadvantages, which will allow to develop strategies for optimizing digital learning.
