CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF A HYBRID EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS OF A TOURIST UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The line between digital and non-digital is increasingly blurred. Everyday life and the environment around us are permeated with technologies that have affected everyone in one way or another. A number of authors call this stage “post-digital” and characterize it as a period of reflection on the ongoing changes in all spheres, including education. The article substantiates the author’s concept of a hybrid educational environment model for training personnel in the tourism sector. The limitations of the hybrid form of the educational process organization do not allow creating a unified model that meets the requirements of all areas of training. As a result, a humanitarian, in particular a tourist training area, was identified, which meets the objectives of the National Tourism and Hospitality Industry Project. The analysis of the experience of implementing hybrid learning identified the components of digital didactics and allowed us to formulate a model of hybrid learning that implements two submodels: “station rotation” and “flexible learning”. The synergistic effect of using two submodels meets the principles of sustainable development of education in conditions of hybridization.
