Effectiveness Of Distance Learning Research Articles

The pandemic period in Russia: overcoming the problems of the rapid transition to distance learning in the system of higher education

The article tests the hypothesis about the need to change the methodology concept for training economists in the higher education system when switching to distance learning. The authors use the empirical method of students and teachers’ survey in Russian universities, statistical methods for processing results, and an analysis of research results published by Russian scientists on the effectiveness of distance learning. The lack of proposals from specialists and scientists to overcome the problems of distance learning predetermine the need for this research. The authors divide problems into four groups: software-technical, socio-psychological, organizational and methodological. The analysis of systematized problems made it possible to propose a transition to an active interaction between a teacher and a student, which is of theoretical importance. Implementing this concept contribute to the restoration of social communication in the educational environment, creation of methodological support in the conditions of distance learning. It is of great practical importance for organizing the distance educational process. Keywords: higher education, distance learning, problems, socio-psychological, organizational, methodological.

Motivation to Study During COVID-19 as a Function of Parent Marital Status

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the learning process into the home and family space, such that parent marital status can affect the student’s studies. These circumstances might pose a challenge for students in general and in particular for those coping, in addition to COVID-19, with family difficulties such as their parents’ divorce. Hence, it is necessary to examine how family situations affect students’ functioning and motivation to study. The current study seeks to address the issue of motivation to study among children of divorced parents versus children of married parents, particularly following the effects of distance learning during COVID-19. This is a pilot study that explores the association between motivation to study in a time of crisis (COVID), which requires a new (digital) study skill, and familial status, family support. In order to relate to this issue, we conducted a study among 148 respondents, school children aged 12-18. Forty-three percent of the respondents were children of divorced parents, while 52.7% were the children of married parents. Through questionnaires, these respondents addressed their parents’ marital status and their attitude to distance versus face-to-face learning. The study also addressed the motivation of these teenagers to study and the association between the different learning methods and parent marital status. The research findings indicate that children of divorced parents have lower intrinsic motivation than children of married parents. It was also found that the variable most influencing motivation to study is learning in the face-to-face method, at 17.1%. A decline in motivation in general, and higher extrinsic motivation among children of divorced parents, derive mainly from parent marital status and the complexities stemming from parents’ divorce. The unstable psychological state of children of divorced parents, both in general and during COVID-19 in particular, affect the level of motivation to study. The findings of the current study indicate the complexities experienced by students during distance learning, their preferences for a certain study method, whether face-to-face or online, and their motivating factors, whether extrinsic or intrinsic. In addition, the study indicated the significance of family support, with its complexities. The research findings may have considerable consequences for the coping of students from different types of families, in normal times in general and in times of crisis in particular.

LITERATURE ON SCREEN - PROBLEMS AND STRATEGIES OF ONLINE LEARNING

The article talks about the transition from reading fiction on screen to teaching literature through the screen of online educational platforms. The peculiarities of "vertical" screen reading do not lead to durability and depth of reading, but it saves time and allows for multiple returns to the text. Constructive changes as a result of online learning are mainly related to the acquisition of new digital competencies for teachers and students, which support in different ways the reading and understanding of fiction. This opens the prospect of hybrid education with the best of face-to-face learning and the effectiveness of distance learning.

IMPACT OF DISTANCE LEARNING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

This article describes a new method for identifying the impact of distance learning during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the teaching and learning environment and for developing teachers’ technical skills and attitudes toward distance learning. It is based on a relevant questionnaire filled in by 453 teachers in the Jordanian capital of Amman during the second semester of 2019/2020. Using the two parts of the questionnaire, one of 22 items on the effectiveness of distance learning and one of 15 items on the teachers’ attitudes toward distance learning, the authors have found that distance learning was moderately effective and that the teachers’ attitudes toward distance learning were positive. More particularly, statistically significant differences at a level of α ≤ 0.05 existed between the teachers’ mean scores on the distance learning scale in favor of humanities (t = 13.19). From our findings, we propose establishing a comprehensive assessment system for the distance learning program to monitor its implementation in computer labs; assisting teachers in using the program; implementing tutorials and training lessons for teachers to share their experiences; and providing tablets, computers, or smartphones to students from vulnerable social groups.

Distance Learning: Does it Have an Impact on the Readiness of Physical Education Teachers in Coastal Areas?

Study purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an effect of distance learning on the readiness of physical education teachers in coastal areas.
 Materials and methods. This study used an experimental method with one group pre-test-post-test design. The research participants were physical education teachers in junior high schools in coastal areas (n = 60). Primary data collection to measure teacher readiness was the Online Teaching Readiness Survey consisting of 41 questions with a validity level of 0.76 and a reliability of 0.91. Secondary data collection was performed using literature study.
 Results. The results of the paired sample t-test showed 0.754 > 0.01, indicating the data variance was the same. By looking at the assumed equal variances, the significance result shows that .000 < .01 (confidence interval = 99%), then H0 is rejected. Based on the data, there are 10 teachers or 16% who are ready to carry out distance learning, 36 teachers or 60% are not ready, and 14 teachers or 24% are unprepared.
 Conclusions. There is an impact of distance learning on the readiness of PE teachers in coastal areas. The effect in question shows the unpreparedness of PE teachers in implementing distance learning. The recommendation from the findings is that teachers need virtual learning training and adequate support to succeed in distance learning.

Medical students’ views on the distance education practices of the neuroanatomy course during the pandemic

Background/Aim: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in late 2019. This highly contagious and pathogenic coronavirus causes acute respiratory disease pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). More than 1.2 billion students in 186 countries are currently affected by school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Educational activities, including clinical medical education, were also stopped during the pandemic. To maintain the continuity of medical education, distance learning approaches were developed, including online/offline teaching methods. Within the scope of this training, the effect of distance learning on students’ experience of neuroanatomy teaching was investigated.
 Methods: The study sample included 61 students who agreed to participate. The data of the students who accepted to participate in the study were obtained via a questionnaire form created using the “Attitude Scale towards Distance Education”. The questionnaire was uploaded to the forms section of the Microsoft Teams program, and the link address was sent to all students who took the Neuroanatomy course from the International Faculty of Medicine 2nd year students via e-mail.
 Results: Most students (n = 44, [72.1%]) stated that they could access the internet without any problems, while others had problems. Some students (n = 10; 83.6%) had to share their remote connection devices with their family members during distance education. Some students (n = 9, [14.8%]) had to use mobile phones for homework and exams. Less than half of the students (n = 27, [44.3%]) responded that 3 h per week neuroanatomy teaching was sufficient; most (n = 34, [55.7%]) responded that this was insufficient (P < 0.01). Many of the students who took the distance learning neuroanatomy course (n = 27, [44.3%]) believe that the course has contributed to their professional development (P < 0.01). During distance education, active participation of the classmates – by turning on their microphones – increased the students’ motivation (n = 53, [88.3%]).
 Conclusion There were difficulties in understanding the neuroanatomy lectures delivered by distance education. The Turkish students had greater problems in understanding relative to the international students, who were much more focused. Students will likely derive greater benefit from doing the neuroanatomy course face to face.

DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS OF COMMUNICATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF THE INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The organization of the educational process with the use of digital tools is a priority of a modern higher education institution. Such tools significantly increase the effectiveness of distance learning. Teachers must use a variety of digital tools to choose the most effective means, style and format of communication with students. Google Apps enables educators to integrate digital communication and collaboration technologies into their educational activities. Padlet is one of such innovative tools, which can be used for sharing information, images, audio or video files on virtual walls. The study outlines the use of an interactive Padlet board to support learning. The main advantages of this interactive resource are accessibility, multimedia, easiness, mobility, interactivity and creativity. Examples of possible options for using the interactive Padlet board in the organization of the educational process during the teaching of the discipline “MIT in the educational process” have been considered and given. These boards can be used to gather information, communicate, work together, solve problems, organize project activities. Interactive boards can be used at different stages of the lesson and for different purposes. Examples of using interactive boards before the lesson, for publishing tasks and guidelines for their implementation, for collaboration and communication, for presenting by students their own project results have been given.

The Effect of Distance Learning on Children's Moral Development

Moral is the foundation of a person when behaving and carrying out his role in society. In today's digital era, we can see a lot of decline in the values and morals that used to be embraced by society. Advances in the digital field do not necessarily bring moral to a more advanced level, especially during this pandemic which also exacerbates moral decline. The lack of direct interaction during learning makes students indifferent to moral values. The decline in the "price" of morals in the eyes of society can be a big threat to the harmony of a society. Therefore, many actions need to be taken to patch and repair this damaged, faded, and abandoned moral, for example, through learning in Social Sciences (IPS) subjects in collaboration with parental education at home during distance learning. In this article, the author discussed what can be done and what we can hope for to improve moral. The research applied mixed methods.

Specificity of physical activity of students in the conditions of distance learning

The recent changes in the Ukrainian education system related to the forced transition to distance learning have caused an urgent need and provided an opportunity to analyze the effectiveness of distance learning. The transition of students to distance learning technology has already caused adverse changes in the functional state of students due to low motor component and significant mental stress. This situation requires improving the rational organization of motor activity of students in distance learning. Due to two complex factors - the long pandemic and the full-scale war currently being waged by Russia in Ukraine, all disciplines taught by the Department of Physical Culture (both lectures ("Physical Culture and Sports") and practical (elective physical culture)) are held in a remote format. The article analyzes the features of physical education of students in distance learning. There is a tendency to reduce the motor activity of students, as most of the time students spend on gadgets. The ways and methods of involving student youth in physical exercises in the conditions of distance learning are offered. The role, place and opportunities of distance learning in physical education for students and teachers are determined. It is established that the optimal type of physical activity at home - various types of fitness, which involve performing general developmental exercises that do not require special inventory and equipment, can be performed in a limited space, allow individual dosing. In addition, such classes are attractive to young people.

The Effect of Distance Learning on the Kanji Reading Ability of 4th Semester Students

Distance learning that works during the covid-19 pandemic changed the student's ability to receive or understand the learning content. Kanji is one of the difficult lecture materials for Japanese language students. A very large number of kanji letters and students' study habits are only made before a test becomes an obstacle in mastering kanji, so persistence, interest, and motivation are needed to learn kanji during distance learning. The preliminary study results show that students' motivation and interest decreased during distance learning. This study aims to determine whether there is an effect of distance learning on the ability to read kanji in fourth-semester students. The instrument used was a questionnaire distributed online with 47 students of Japanese Language Education class 2019 involved as respondents. The study results show that distance learning affects students' kanji reading skills by 22.4%. A student's ability to read kanji is influenced by external and internal factors, including a lack of support from friends and family during the study from home, lack of interest in learning kanji during distance learning, lack of time to practice and learn kanji every day, and students still tend to learn kanji only when there is an exam

Integration of Social Media into Daily Activity of Adolescents and Self-Regulation Characteristics

Introduction. Diverse domains of life become more digitalized, social media (social networks, blogs, and information sharing services) have become an intrinsic element of daily life and activities such as education. Positive and negative consequences of social media use were discovered, which increased the awareness of their involvement in adolescents’ and young people’s psychological well-being and socializing. However, the characteristics of self-regulation in the context of increased social media usage remain unexplored. The study examined the association between self-regulation characteristics and the degree to which social media is integrated into adolescents’ everyday activities. Materials and Methods. The study included 336 teenagers (12–17 years old). Self-regulation features (the SSPM-2020 V.I. Morosanova questionnaire) and social network activity (The scale of integration of social media into daily activity, time spent on it, the numbers of social networks) were assessed. Correlation, comparative, and cluster analyses were used to process the data. Results. The integration of social media into an adolescent’s everyday activities varies according to their level of self-regulation. However, formal factors (time and quantity of social networks) do not change between self-regulation levels. Throughout adolescence, social media use is relatively consistent. Girls showed a stronger behavioral and emotional attachment to social media and deeper integration into daily routines. Discussion and Conclusion. Self-regulation development can lead to academic performance and increased self-control in the digital world. When examining the effects of distance learning and developing programs to enhance online learning, meaningful parameters for measuring adolescentsʼ social media integration into their everyday activities may be required.

Prospects for distance learning in Kazakhstani universities in the context of active digitalization due to the COVID–19 pandemic

During the COVID–19 pandemic, the Kazakhstani education system completely switched to online education. The so-called digitalization has embraced all spheres of social and economic life. Online learning has come to be seen as an alternative to traditional one. The restructuring of the education system took place with the help of digital technologies, which contributed to an increase in its competitiveness. Technological advances in Artificial Intelligence have become part of everyday life. The use of online learning technologies has helped to preserve the educational infrastructure. At the same time, learning from home and, as a result, unequal conditions in access to the Internet affected the quality of education, academic integrity, and motivation. The research aims to analyze the effects of distance learning on students and understand whether blended learning will become an effective education paradigm in the post-academic era. An extensive literature review of articles based on Elsevier, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases using keywords such as “digital technologies in education”, “blended learning”, “learning in the context of the COVID–19 pandemic” was carried out. A comparative analysis of the results of quantitative research among students of the Kurmangazy Kazakh National Conservatory, Turan University and Al-Farabi KazNU is conducted. The research results demonstrate the attitude of students towards e-learning. There is a request for the introduction of blended learning, regardless of the educational programs.

Distance Learning at University Mastering Modern Technologies

The main goals of the education system are the formation of a versatile, creative personality with a high level of cognitive interest. At present, it is important for society to follow global information processes on the basis of their informational nature. Therefore, the attitude to the types and methods of Education began to change. Informatization of education and the use of information technologies in the educational process are becoming one of the most important issues in the education system. As you know, one of the biggest tasks of today is to master modern technologies. In the article, the authors give an overview of the history of distance learning of the educational process in universities due to the suppression of the epidemic around the world. According to international organizations, the views of Western scientists on online education were studied. In the process of Distance Learning, Microsoft has made sure that it is possible to increase the activity of students in a wide audience using various methods on the platforms «Teams», «Bandecam», «Canva Com», «LMS». When using the Microsoft Teams platform in the learning process, you can name its advantages and disadvantages. The university was able to use various methodological approaches to teaching using information technologies. The effectiveness of distance learning is determined and explained by the pedagogical meaning embedded in it. Distance learning technologies are designed to create an educational space that promotes students' self-determination by organizing elective courses, information work, and profile orientation.
