Introduction. The article deals with the problem of digital education on the example of natural science disciplines, in particular Mathematics, when training students of Nizhny Novgorod Academy of Russian MIA (Ministry of Internal Affairs) – future specialists in the sphere of ensuring economic security.

Purpose of research is to highlight specific features of training students in the conditions of digital educational process at the Nizhny Novgorod Academy of Russian MIA on the example of teaching “Mathematics”.

Methods. Analysis and synthesis of psychological, pedagogical and didactic-methodical literature; generalization and systematization; monitoring, interview, pedagogical diagnostics, pedagogical experiment.

Research results. This work deals with specific features of digital contemporary vocational education, advantages and disadvantages of educational process when using modern digital technologies. It represents the experience of using elements and resources of distance training system Moodle to deliver classes in natural science disciplines, in particular Mathematics, in order to realize the basic programs of vocational education. Apart from, the specificity of both planning and adoption of e-learning courses in electronic educational environment of higher school is determined in the article; it shows possibilities of how students can master specific knowledge, skills and necessary competences when training disciplines that are taught by teachers of Maths, Computing and Information technologies department and possibilities of further development of successful practice work in the sphere of economic security.

Field of applying results. Research results can be the basis for drafting and using e-leaning courses in other disciplines as the tool for realizing digital education in various higher schools.

Conclusions. The research work highlights the fact that traditional education in the conditions of digital technologies development is less effective especially if it concerns distance training. In order to improve its efficiency it is necessary to implement digital education elements, in particular the resources of SDE (System of Distance Education) LMS Moodle, to deliver classes in mathematical disciplines. The results of experiment and interviewing of both students and higher school teachers allow to identify both advantages and disadvantages of transformation from traditional to innovative education format. Digitalization has a lot of advantages but in order to get highly-quality education and a set of necessary competences when learning a discipline, it is important to consider both traditional and digital education as a single purposeful process of training and upbringing. The model of digital education is in need of training a highly-qualified specialist that would include in its system substantial aspects of training process; pedagogical methods and technologies; organization and management arrangements; all necessary facilities have to be created; and when training all possible ways of solving upbringing tasks should be highlighted.
