ЛЕГІТИМАЦІЯ ЦИФРОВИХ ОСВІТНІХ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЙ: ФІЛОСОФСЬКО-ПРАВОВИЙ ВИМІР

The article уточнює several aspects of the philosophical and legal analysis of the phenomenon of legitimising digital educational transformations in Ukraine. The digitalisation of education is conceptualised not merely as a process of technological modernisation, but as a complex socio-normative transformation that reshapes the ontology of the educational space, epistemological models of knowledge, communicative practices, and mechanisms of socialisation. The understanding of legitimation is further developed as a multidimensional process that integrates legal regulation, public recognition, ethical justification, and value-based consensus. Particular attention is paid to the role of social trust, communicative rationality, and institutional responsibility in the formation of the legitimacy of digital educational strategies. It is demonstrated that the sustainability and effectiveness of digital reforms in education depend on their alignment with humanistic and democratic values.
