Abstract
Individual educational strategies formation, experience acquisition in digital tools in constantly changing digital infrastructure is an important component of modern human’s life activity. The ways of forming individual digital educational strategies depending on people’s digital competence in the conditions of the Russian society digitalization have been determined. The empirical basis of the study was the results of a questionnaire survey conducted to determine digital competence and identify ways of forming digital educational strategies of the adult population in Volgograd. The empirical data show that the majority of respondents from 18 to 59 years old are interested in improving digital competence and predict to take refresher courses to improve digital skills and further self-education. Adults from 60 and older are significantly inferior to all age groups in their use of digital technologies. Depending on digital competence, respondents build individual strategies to improve digital literacy. The study results provided an opportunity to distinguish formal and informal ways of forming personal educational strategies and to design a matrix of multilevel and integrality of digital individual educational strategies. At the personal level, the integral character is manifested in the process of assessing digital competence without inclusion in the digital environment, and at the institutional level - in digital multilevel educational infrastructure development. The designed matrix contributes to a convenient and accessible digital infrastructure construction for all age groups and to digital strategies development at the institutional level in accordance with the population needs.
