Abstract
The aim of the study is to identify the optimal parameters of the open online course (SPOC) “Basic Russian” and a lesson as its structural unit in relation to the conditions of Russian as a foreign language (RFL) hybrid teaching in a Chinese university. The paper briefly outlines the features of the higher education reform in China due to the development of society digitalization and the introduction of the concept of creating a national base of high-quality educational resources. As exemplified by analyzing the experience of implementing the specific SPOC in Russian as a foreign language (levels A1-A2), an attempt is made to describe the most important characteristics of the SPOC and the lessons included in this online course, to justify the expediency of identifying parameters that determine the effectiveness of the online course in general and individual lessons in particular. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that a set of certain parameters has been formulated and substantiated. Based on these parameters, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of the RFL SPOC as a whole, as well as its structural components, i.e. lessons, and their potential in the organization of hybrid learning. As a result of the study, the specifics of RFL hybrid learning in the conditions of a Chinese university have been determined. It has been proved that the optimal parameters of the online RFL course and each lesson as its structural unit include: 1) the variety of means of involving students in educational activities presented in each lesson of the online course and the degree of their effectiveness; 2) the depth and diversity of the content of each lesson of the online course, as well as the clear structuring of the course in general and its structural components in particular; 3) the correlation of the course content with traditional textbooks and programs; 4) the presence of intellectually stimulating and/or advanced content and expanded task banks to ensure individualization of learning; 5) a parameter that determines the characteristics of the assessment system and the forms of reflexive response for students in each lesson.
