Implementation of innovative technologies in out-of-school education: opportunities and prospects

Abstract

In the context of globalisation trends and the overall digitalisation of the education system, out-of-school education is becoming an important tool in the development of learning environments. The purpose of this paper is to describe the main innovative tools in out-of-school education, based on the analysis of key challenges and opportunities. The study is based on a qualitative analysis of pedagogical literature and individual legal documents. Content analysis of literature and comparative analysis became important methods in this study. The data collection was formed only on the basis of modern literature in the range of 2012-2024. The obtained results highlighted various innovative solutions used in extracurricular education and described the basis of the possibility of their effective implementation. Special attention is paid to the difficulties of their implementation. Given the challenges and opportunities for the successful implementation of innovations, the main mechanisms for the effective implementation of innovative technologies in out-of-school education institutions are developed. The conclusions note that the current challenges are the lack of material and technical resources for the active use of out-of-school education opportunities. In addition, the availability of appropriate professional training for teachers is also important. Thus, this study has demonstrated the importance of out-of-school education based on innovative technologies.
