PRESERVATION AND PROMOTION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ HEALTH WITHIN A DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The paper addresses an issue of preservation and promotion of university students’ health within a digital learning environment. It presents an analysis of pilot research findings that provide a scientific rationale for this process. Significant lifestyle changes experienced by university students necessitate a deeper understanding of their health potential, the importance of health preservation, rational management and sustainable development of its capacity. Successful adaptation of students to education in a digital learning environment is achieved through the development of a system of knowledge and skills related to health preservation and promotion, active engagement with the new digital infrastructure, and cultivation of a health-oriented culture. The author outlines the regulatory framework, principles of promoting and preserving university students’ health in the new realities, offering a comprehensive overview of the digital learning environment and its potential positive and negative impacts on a student’s health. The findings are particularly beneficial for bachelor’s, master’s, and postgraduate students, as well as university faculty members studying health preservation and involved in fostering a health-conscious attitude among students.
