The relevance of the topic is due to new require-ments for society and for a person.

The purpose of the study was to identify the degree of readiness of young people of the "digital generation" to adapt to the new educational environment, the perception of new formats for the digital transformation of the education system. The analysis of the results of this study can contribute to the development of new didactic principles in the field of the use of digital technologies.
