Introduction. The speed and quality of digitalization in the educational sphere is determined by the level of competence of teachers in matters related to the multidimensional creative transformation of information presented in digital format. Modern studies state the lack of readiness of specialists in the field of education to organize productive activities in these conditions, which causes technological problems of interaction in the "teacher-student" system. The solution to these problems is possible through a qualitative restructuring of the model of the modern teacher, the integration of the work of specialists in the humanities and mathematical and information fields, as well as appropriate advanced training courses based on the concept of lifelong learning (F. A. Popov, 2018). The
purpose of the study is to determine the degree of readiness of teachers and students for digitalization in physical education.
Methodology and organization of the study. As part of the study, a survey of teachers and students of the 1st year of the Volgograd State Academy of Physical Culture was conducted.
The results of the study and their discussion. The analysis of the survey data allowed us to conclude that teachers have the most general ideas about the concepts of "information technologies "and" digital technologies", as well as about their identification of the concepts of" informatization "and"digitalization". The attitude to the process of digitalization in education does not have an age gradation, in contrast to the results of data analysis of the last decade. In this regard, a detailed comparison of these concepts was carried out and the main difference is the dominance of the technical component of information processing from the standpoint of informatization, while in the conditions of digitalization, the creative creation of new forms and content of information prevails.
The analysis of the data of the survey of 1st‑year students of the VGAFK on their readiness for training in the conditions of digitalization allowed us to draw the following conclusion: the results do not have significant differences either by gender or by specialization; the total presence of two or more mailboxes was established; 78 % of respondents have early (at the age of 10-15 years) registration in social networks; multiple registration of respondents in one social network is due to the possibility of dosing/protecting information; 63 % of first-year students do not experience difficulties when working with files of various formats and large volumes.
Conclusion. Future specialists in the field of physical culture and sports are ready to use digital learning tools in the aspect of performing operations for the exchange and transformation of educational information, but there may be problems in organizing a comfortable digital space. It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of training specialists in the field of physical culture: digital technologies in this case are an effective tool that does not exclude the contact work of the teacher and the student, which confirms the relevance of the task of determining their optimal combination in the educational process of the university.
