IMPLEMENTATION EXPERIENCE OF DISTANCE LEARNING UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PANDEMIC

The modern information society formulates tasks for the education of professionals who are able to adapt quickly to life situations, acquire the necessary knowledge and apply them in practice without assistance. Problems with the provision of education, which arose during the establishment of quarantine and the introduction of enhanced anti-epidemic measures in areas with a high prevalence of acute respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, required in real life to find ways to solve them rationally, using modern technologies. The situation made teachers work with information properly, be communicative, work on the development of their own IT competence by themselves. The development of modern technologies has diversified the methods of communication between teachers and students. This article presents an analysis of the implementation of distance learning in the Zaporizhzhia region and focuses on the difficulties faced by teachers, students, their parents, and ways to reduce the problems of introducing distance learning environment in particular. Monitoring the activities of various participants in the educational process provides opportunities to systematize information and provide recommendations for overcoming such difficulties. The experience of 2020 and the results of the survey showed that there was almost no separate distance and e-learning. An online survey was conducted during March 2021 in order to determine the opinion of teachers in the Zaporozhzhia region on the organization of educational and cognitive activities of students in the form of distance learning. The effectiveness of distance learning in educational institutions of the Zaporozhzhia region depends on the technical support of the educational process, the skill of teachers involved in this process, the use of effective communication. Survey participants believe that teacher motivation has less impact on the effectiveness of distance learning than the motivation of the learner. According to many respondents, the schedule of lessons has not changed, but the usual schedule of life has changed dramatically. Many educators emphasize that they work at a computer for more than half a day. Analysis of statistical data and freely expressed opinions of teachers, participants of the survey, suggests that no effective solutions have been found for the organization of "distance" learning, but there are teachers who respond positively to the existing situation and are in innovative search.

Conditions of blended learning implementation in H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University: experience of Physics and Mathematics Faculty

The entire education system of Ukraine in the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 found itself in a situation of the challenge for the immediate implementation of distance learning in educational institutions of all levels. Despite the presence of a relatively large number of scientific studies on the features of distance education, they were not enough for its practical implementation. A blended form of learning requires a combination of asynchronous and synchronous modes of distance learning, finding optimal tools and ways to interact with students, adapting traditional methods of studying disciplines to new conditions, overcoming inequality of participants in the educational process in technical support, mastering digital technologies. Analysis of the experience of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University showed that the conditions for the introduction of blended learning in institutions of higher pedagogical education are: advanced training and appropriate retraining of teaching staff; building a model of blended learning as a starting point for distance learning; development of educational and methodical support of educational disciplines taking into account the requirements of blended learning; implementation of all elements of the educational process in blended learning; providing participants of the educational process with organizational, methodological, technical and psychological support.

Social media for learning: perceptions and behaviors

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a particular interest in integrating social media as an educational tool to support the distance learning process. The main problem with this study is the way students invest in networking opportunities for learning. Special emphasis is placed on the Everyday Informal Learning. An electronic questionnaire was distributed to 284 students registered at the University of Sharjah and King Saud University. The results indicate that the participants' extensive use of social media pushes them to easily experience Everyday Informal Learning; The sample appreciates the role of social media in facilitating communication and interaction among colleagues, and acknowledges its usefulness despite some perceived limitations such as the occasional lack of credibility and the ease of switching from educational to personal use; These results are in line with the concept of Online Cooperative Learning Theory as it confirms that the best way to learn through these networks is through collective participation methods. Given these results, the authors consider the idea of including social media as a Formal tool for Learning in educational institutions has become very suggestive, especially in this era in which the efficiency of online space has been demonstrated to preserve education in times of epidemics. Besides, the cost of integrating some advanced educational platforms like Learning Management Systems in some countries in the world makes social networks a better alternative; some countries like Bulgaria have turned to learning via social media during times of quarantine due to the Coronavirus. Therefore, the authors recommend that more research should be done on social media as Formal Learning tools to ask about their suitability for the courses and programs offered by universities in the world, in various disciplines.
