National experience in the formation of the digital educational environment in 1980-1990

The domestic educational system is constantly undergoing various changes and innovations. In the context of the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial society, the issues of digitalization (informatization) of the educational process are becoming increasingly relevant. In this article, based on a historical retrospective, the problem of the formation of the information educational environment over the course of two decades is considered. This approach will allow us to identify not only the features of the development of informatization of education in the specified period, but also compare them. The materials presented in the article also characterize the main stages of the "information revolutions" that took place in the history of mankind. Each subsequent "revolution" simplified the preservation and transmission of information not only from person to person, but also from generation to generation. The role of these revolutions in the formation and development of digital education is also explained. Due to the fact that for the first time digital technologies began to be used in the education system of foreign countries, the article provides a brief description of foreign experience in the implementation of this issue. The materials presented in the article will be useful not only for historians, teachers, but also for a wide range of people studying the issues of digitalization of the educational system.
