At the time of their appearance, they seemed controversial and provocative to the majority of the scientific community. Today, these ideas are more relevant than ever in the light of the focus of our education on the preparation of a new modern personality. Therefore, everything that will be discussed today, all the ideas that will be presented, are of interest to the pedagogical community, ”explained Inna Golovanova, Associate Professor of the Department of Pedagogy of the Higher School of IPO KFU.

Therefore, the theoretical part presented in the plenary part of the conference is so important. - The topics of the reports of the plenary session were quite extensive and diverse, but the unifying of all the presented works was the fact that their designs used a creative approach. The priority issues for discussion by the participants were new perspectives of the creative self-development of the individual in the digital world, as well as the improvement of the innovative educational system, the renewal and transformation of teacher education.
