Digital Technologies and Artificial Intelligence in Cooperation between Educational Institutions and Museums: Ukrainian and European Perspectives on Educational Process Modernisation

Abstract

The article examines educational modernisation in the context of digital transformation and military challenges. It emphasises the need to ensure educational quality while preserving cultural specificity. The article identifies pan-European trends in education, including lifelong learning and competence-based approaches. Cultural awareness, self-expression, and sustainable development competences are central among these trends. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of information and communication technologies in developing interactive learning environments. Their contribution to expanding access to cultural resources and strengthening intercultural dialogue is also highlighted. Cooperation between educational institutions and museums is conceptualised as a mechanism for integrating theoretical knowledge with practice, as well as reinforcing cultural identity. Museum culture is interpreted as a strategic resource for socio-cultural development, nation-building, and value formation. Furthermore, the article analyses the potential of artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and data analytics. These technologies enhance the efficiency and personalisation of collaboration between educational institutions and museums. The educational dimension is considered a key factor in shaping values, motivation, and professional worldview during socialisation. The integration of technological innovation with humanistic paradigms supports holistic personal development. Ukrainian and European experience demonstrates that inter-institutional cooperation improves educational quality and facilitates integration into the European educational space. The emphasis is placed on the transition from a traditional exhibition model to a participatory one. The necessity of actively engaging visitors in interaction with exhibitions through interactive forms of activity, which involve participation, dialogue, and co creation of content, is substantiated. Finally, the article outlines prospects for development in the context of digitalisation and highlights the necessity of balancing technological advancement with educational objectives.
