This work is devoted to the study of the mechanisms of developing the educational independence of junior schoolchildren in the conditions of a digital educational environment, the analysis of its advantages, as well as the identification and proposal of ways to overcome the difficulties that arise.

The advantages of using DER, such as the activation of perception, the increase of motivation and the individualization of learning, are considered. At the same time, the potential risks associated with the dependence on external stimuli, the deterioration of concentration and the negative impact on the physical health of children are outlined. A list of key recommendations for the effective implementation of DER in the educational process is given, aimed at maintaining a balance between traditional teaching methods and modern digital tools.
