Abstract

The article presents a relevant study devoted to the formation of readiness of students of economic specialties for learner autonomy using digital technologies in the context of the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 – “Quality Education”. It is emphasized that the use of digital tools contributes to increasing the accessibility, quality and inclusiveness of education, allows adapting the educational process to the individual needs of students, in particular those who have limited access to traditional resources or require special learning conditions. The use of digital technologies also contributes to the development of professional skills necessary for successful employment in the conditions of the modern labor market, and improving the qualifications of teachers. The study has an interdisciplinary impact and is related to the achievement of other Sustainable Development Goals - such as SDG 8 “Decent work and economic growth”, SDG 9 “Industry, innovation and infrastructure” and SDG 10 “Reduced inequality”, the development of innovation and technology, as well as reducing inequality in access to education. The formation of digital literacy and autonomous learning increases the competitiveness of students, contributes to the development of innovative educational infrastructure and overcoming social and territorial barriers. Thanks to the ability to independently navigate the information environment, work with digital platforms and educational resources, students have the opportunity to study at a convenient pace, develop critical thinking, analytical skills and acquire relevant knowledge for the real professional environment. This is especially important in the conditions of the dynamic development of the digital economy, which requires future specialists to be flexible, adaptable and capable of continuous learning. Prospects for further research in the direction of improving educational approaches, integrating modern digital solutions, developing human capital, implementing innovative methods and expanding international cooperation are outlined. The presented study is a significant contribution to the modernization of higher education, the formation of digitally literate and independent specialists capable of functioning effectively in a globalized economy.
