ADAPTATION OF EDUCATIONAL PROCESS PARTICIPANTS TO DISTANCE EDUCATION DURING THE PERIOD OF MARTIAL STATUS

Abstract

Problem statement. The forced change in the form of education in higher education, which was first caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and then by the introduction of martial law, requires all participants in the educational process to respond effectively to the emergence of new challenges. The process of adaptation to the forced transformation of the form of education is complex, both from the point of view of the technical possibilities of ensuring the quality of education, and from the point of view of the psycho-emotional state of students and teachers. It is impossible to create a comfortable educational environment without monitoring the needs of students. These needs are dynamic due to constant changes in the forms of education. Adaptation of students to new forms of education (without loss of quality) will depend on understanding their attitude to innovations in the organization of education and taking into account their opinion when planning further changes. Purpose of the article. Determining the attitude of students to the organization of education in a higher educational institution in the conditions of martial law, taking into account psychological aspects. Conclusion. The results of an online survey among students of higher education indicate the gradual adaptation of all participants in the educational process to various forms of education. In general, students are satisfied with conducting online classes according to the schedule (synchronous mode using the Zoom platform). From a psychological point of view, there are problems with concentration of attention when studying, associated with threats to health and life. The results of the survey indicate that more attention should be paid to psychological support. This can be done by offering students to study a separate elective discipline, which is aimed at obtaining skills to ensure personal protection during armed and/or informational aggression, or add to the list of mandatory topics for curatorial hours. In general, students positively evaluate the changes in the distance learning method that took place after its introduction since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The majority of students are satisfied with the organization and conduct of education in a distance format. After the abolition of martial law in the country, the majority of master's students would choose distance learning, most bachelor's − mixed.
