Abstract

 The relevance of the article is caused by the influence of digital transformations on all spheres of human life. A new layer of socio-cultural interactions and relations is being formed, associated with the transfer of many processes to the digital space, the regulation of which cannot be subject to any general laws, since it has a global socio-cultural format. This determines the issues of positioning the role and place of a person in the digital space, his/her positive behavior, associated in the authors' view with the digital culture of all participants in the process. The purpose of the article is to identify the components of the digital culture of students and to justify the pedagogical toolkit of its formation in the educational activities of university students. As a research methodology, the humanistic paradigm of education is considered, aimed at preserving the importance of a person in the digital world, and creating a digital space exclusively for the benefit of a person. The authors reveal the main provisions of the socio-cultural approach, the main idea of which is the integration of social and cultural spheres of human professional activity in the digital space. The essence of digital culture is defined as a set of spiritual priorities and social values distributed in the space of digital technologies as an artistic field of modern life activity and its main functions (informational, communicative, socialization and personal sustainability) and components (axiological, cognitive, communicative and technological) are highlighted. The results of a pedagogical experiment to test the mechanisms of digital culture formation are presented. The article is intended for teachers, researchers involved in the formation of students' digital culture.
