Abstract

This paper examines the problem of cyberspace, which is becoming a field for discussion of both political, economic, social problems and issues related to personal life, learning and development processes. The process of spontaneous socialization, where the agents have traditionally been the institutions of family and education, is complicated by modern global information computer technology, which has naturally led to cyberevolution. The necessity of entering cyberspace in the sphere of education is considered. The authors describe the need to include the student community in the learning process through online technologies using modern learning platforms (Moodle, Microsoft Teams, etc.). The paper considers cybersocialization phenomenon as the main factor of socio-pedagogical adaptation of students with the need to exit to a positive cybersocialization. Particular emphasis is placed on the positive aspects of cybersocialization of students, and the problems of students adaptation to distance learning conditions are studied. The paper presents the results of the development and implementation of socio-pedagogical program of students adaptation to distance learning conditions. The conducted research showed the orientation of students to distance learning format, where a certain role is given to curators of study groups and teachers in solving the problems of students cybersocialization. At the same time, the independence and motivation of students in solving this problem is important. The obtained materials can serve as a basis for understanding the process of socialization of modern students to the conditions of distance education.
