A course in political science in higher education is often taught largely as a theoretical course and involves studying issues and problems in the formation and development of political institutions, processes, and technologies. The focus is usually on the history of politics, the state as the central institution of the political system, political parties, political consciousness, culture, political relations, etc. However, it is very important that, when students take a political science course, they understand the contemporary political processes going on around them. Some of these are well-established, democratic processes, such as the electoral process. Others are related to the impact on the political sphere of the society of modern innovation processes. And in this case, political science as science once again demonstrates its value in an applied format. For a deep understanding of these kinds of political processes, additional aggregated information is needed, the knowledge that should be distinguished by such characteristics as relevance, novelty, and relevance to current developments. In today's digital age, it is necessary to master further the digital transformation of political institutions, processes, and technologies, including types of public policy, the most important of which is social policy. And it's not just the digital economy. This is primarily the digitalization of public administration (State Web): Big Date management, blockchain, etc., and the digitalization of business: the emergence and development of digital enterprises, etc. Obviously, the use of digital technologies will be possible for the development of predictive political science. This article is largely a translation of German publications by scholars concerned with the development of modern political science education in the European Union, in Germany particularly. The focus is on the impact of digitalization on the teaching of theoretical and applied political science.
