The Current Challenges of Online Education in Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to carry out theoretical analysis and synthesis of prospects for the development of distance learning in Ukraine, to consider the main current problems of distance education in Ukraine, to analyze the main factors hindering the introduction of distance learning, to draw attention to the need for computer literacy distance learning methodologies, in particular a unified, systematic, nationwide approach to organization, coordination and control in this area. The research methodology consists in analytical method, method of structural-functional analysis, phenomenological method, method of content analysis, method of general philosophical reflection, basic sociological methods (questionnaires, interviews). The scientific novelty of the research lies in clarifying the current state of integration of distance learning in Ukrainian schools and clarifying the features of the process of introducing distance learning in general. The article also analyzed the works of foreign fundamentalist scientists in the field of distance learning and partially substantiated the feasibility of their implementation in the domestic system of distance learning. Based on the study, innovative hypotheses have been put forward regarding the factors (individual, collective and social) that inhibit the introduction of distance learning and often lead to its inefficiency and formalization, which in the future can be a reference point for future scientific research.
