EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES OF COLLECTING AND ANALYZING DATA FROM THE DIGITAL FOOTPRINT OF SCHOOLCHILDREN

The article substantiates the relevance and feasibility of analyzing the digital footprint of schoolchildren, reveals the essence of the concepts of “digital footprint” and “digital footprint in education”, its types, sources and components. The purpose of the work is to analyze Russian and foreign studies devoted to studying the role and possibilities of using digital footprint data in school education. The research methods used include analysis and comparison of psychological and pedagogical literature, scientific articles, the inductive method, and the systematic method. The authors describe in detail the leading practices of digital footprint analysis in school education, identifying those Russian and foreign studies that do this most comprehensively (extract and record data on key components of the digital footprint). It is concluded that the practice of using digital footprint data in school education in order to study the types of activities of schoolchildren on the Internet prevails in foreign sources. Foreign authors are interested in high school students’ awareness of their digital footprints, their management, the impact of the digital footprint on the present and future, and the role of the digital footprint in the psychophysiological field is explored. Among the key areas of using the digital footprint in the research of Russian scientists, the study of the role of the digital footprint as a regulator of the educational process clearly stands out. Digital traces are used in the process of assessing the effectiveness of the educational process and making decisions about its optimization, predicting the results of educational activities. There are a number of works devoted to the use of the digital footprint in career guidance work with applicants. In conclusion, the found relationships between the data from the student’s digital footprint are listed and conclusions are drawn about the main possibilities for using information extracted from the digital footprint in school education.
