Abstract

The purpose of the research is to present the results of a survey of the attitudes of students in economics, administration, and management at the “D. A. Tsenov” Academy of Economics and to discuss possible approaches for managing the digital transformation of education in the context of the general framework for a digital future of society. Data from an empirical study conducted for two consecutive years among students using an e-survey (N2021 = 105, N2022 = 118) were used. The results show not only an improvement in students’ attitudes toward remote forms of synchronous and asynchronous learning, but also a need to invest both in hard measures—new communication channels, applications, and technical solutions, as well as in pedagogical skills for working in a hybrid environment.
