Use Of Distance Education Technologies Research Articles

Devising an approach to the use of distance education technologies in performing control measures for technical students

The object of this study is the process of implementation of control measures with the help of distance learning technologies for students of technical specialties. The problem of the application of information and communication technologies for the effective implementation of final control during distance learning has been studied. An authentic algorithm for creating a test on the Moodle platform has been developed. The proposed algorithm is based on the use of the classical structure of the ticket, which allows implementing an approach to final control that is closest to the traditional one. This is important for assessing the acquired practical students competences of engineering specialties since for them the control measure may include a combination of textual, graphic, and computational tasks. The application of the algorithm in practice allows one to improve the quality of the final assessment by ensuring equal conditions for students, attracting the optimal set of tools for this, as well as identifying the student and thus ensuring the transparency of the control measure. Verification of the developed algorithm during the quarantine period sessions at the Faculty of Transport Construction of the National Transport University demonstrated a better adaptability of students to conduct control measures in remote form. This is confirmed by an increase in quality (from 1.16 % to 6.8 %) and success (to 7.4 %) rates among students, as well as a high level of student satisfaction in 2022 with the effectiveness of online learning, which was determined through an anonymous questionnaire. Promising steps regarding the use of the algorithm in the final evaluation are the development of measures for the implementation of automated recognition of the emotional status of students

The use of distance education technologies in the training of doctors under martial law

The Ukrainian nation is choosing its independence in the conditions of tough historical processes. This struggle is being waged on all “fronts”, one of which is education. Continuity and quality of higher education is the key to the future of our country. At the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of ZSMU, during the period of hostilities, distance education technologies were widely used, which in terms of the effectiveness of assimilation of theoretical material are in no way inferior to classroom work, and practical questions are optimized as much as possible for their best mastery. An analysis of the department’s work during the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year was conducted. The obtained data indicate that there are difficulties with the practical part of the discipline, while maintaining theoretical training at a high level. The general results of training did not statistically differ from those in the pre-war period, which confirms the effectiveness of distance learning in today’s conditions.

EXPERIENCE IN USING DISTANCE LEARNING TOOLS IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGICAL CORPS

The article presents and describes a tool for the professional development of teachers. Special attention is paid to the subject-methodical section, the implementation of which since 2020 has been taking place in an online form with the use of distance educational technologies. The article describes and presents the concepts of «e-learning» and «distance learning technologies,» and briefly presents the history of the development of distance education in the world. The article contains a description of the advantages of distance learning, as well as an analysis of the difficulties experienced by students of training courses and seminars, and advanced training of distance courses. In the post-industrial world, one of the main qualification requirements is professional mobility, determined by readiness for continuous retraining and advanced training. The education system, designed to ensure the increase of human capital, and increase the efficiency and competitiveness of the economy, should, first of all, prepare people for life in rapidly changing conditions. Therefore, the system itself must keep up with the changes taking place. The main challenge of 2020 was the emergency transfer of the educational process to a remote form using e-learning technologies. The education system did not have time to «group up» and prepare. The implementation of educational programs in a remote format required careful coordination of pedagogical activities and thoughtful administration of the process. The crisis exposed serious substantive and organizational problems in the industry and identified professional-pedagogical difficulties in the field of ICT competence: both at the level of the general user and the level of the general pedagogical component. The pedagogical community has an objective need to master new competencies. We can assume that the current situation will inevitably entail changes in the standards of training and retraining, as well as the emergence of new training programs.

Psychological Conditions for the Effectiveness of Distance Education

The article deals with psychological conditions impacting distance education in high school. Information on the specifics of the use of distance educational technologies is analysed. Special attention was paid to motivation and reflection. Following methods were used: psychological and formative pedagogical experiment, testing, observation, analysis of percentage trends, Student’s t-test. The independent variable of the experiment is motivational exercises and reflective reports of distance courses, and the dependent variable is professional competence of the research participants. The domination of the medium indicators of motivational, cognitive, operational-activity, reflective components of professional competence of students was revealed. The students’ ability to carry out self-analysis is the least developed. A formative experiment conducted in the control group revealed a shift in cognitive and operational-activity components. Positive dynamics was found for all studied parameters in the experimental group, which used motivational exercises and reflective reports. The calculation of Student’s t-test confirmed significance of all detected transformations. The study proves the importance of creating psychological conditions to improve the effectiveness of distance education. We see the possibility of improving the developed methodology in the individualization of psychological assignments. The results of the study can be used as a basis for specialized psychological training programmes for the teachers who deliver distance learning courses. Further prospects for the research on the problem are studying the impact of the psychological state of teachers on the effectiveness of distance education, as well as comparing the results of the introduction of certain psychological conditions in traditional and distance learning.

DISTANCE TEACHING OF PHYSICAL CULTURE IN THE AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

The article examines modern approaches to remote teaching of physical culture in the American education system and the introduction of interactive technologies into the educational process. Advanced pedagogical experience in the organization of physical education of young people is revealed on the example of American educational institutions. Currently, the relevance of electronic education of students of higher education institutions with the use of distance educational technologies is being popularized. The system of distance learning of physical culture in educational institutions of the United States enables applicants to actively combine classroom classes and independent work, to use new technical possibilities (video lectures, audio lectures, virtual work in groups); teachers - to provide educational materials in electronic form; to organize communication on forums or by e-mail, to have a complete picture of the students' activities. The Moodle distance learning platform in US educational institutions offers a structured learning plan, quizzes, glossaries, forums, chat rooms, databases, online surveys, creative tasks, exercises, projects and more. The US Sports Academy offers courses that allow distance learning and obtaining the necessary material for both bachelors and masters of sports sciences, as well as doctors of pedagogical sciences. With the help of distance technologies, the following forms of knowledge transfer are used in the US secondary education system for teaching physical culture: distance course, chat class, web class, web forum, teleconference, online seminar. The experience of using modern distance learning technologies for teaching physical culture in the US education system points to the fact that modern technological trends are radically changing the perception of education. Further research related to the transformation of the positive experience of teaching physical education in the distance education system in the USA in the realities of the education system of Ukraine is promising.

Organization of teaching of the discipline "physical culture and sports" in the conditions of distance education

Forecasts regarding the specifics of the academic year 2022-2023 are different, because no one can predict military events and the behavior of the enemy even for the next few hours. In the conditions of the forced transfer of the educational process to a distance form of education, the question arose of resolving the contradictions between the traditional form (practical aspect) of physical education of students at the university and the need to organize this pedagogical process based on the use of distance educational technologies. Currently, we can say that at least a certain part of Ukrainian higher primary institutions will have a distance form of education, since a large percentage of institutions do not have properly organized and reliable shelter, some are destroyed, some are in the war zone, so a certain number, unfortunately, already in the occupied territories. The specifics of the distance learning organization of the subject "Physical Culture" in the conditions of forced distance learning or partially distance learning were discussed, the details of conducting practical classes in the Google meet system were characterized, and the features of the final control of the discipline were determined. For practical classes at the Bukovyna State Medical University, the basic types of motor activity are determined taking into account the material and technical base: fitness, sports games, general physical training. The elements of the developed model of implementation of educational programs of disciplines of the "Physical culture and sport" cycle were considered, taking into account the use of electronic learning and distance educational technologies.

Some aspects of the state of student health in connection with the use of distance education technologies

Introduction. Distance education means a way of organizing education based on the use of information and communication technologies which make it possible to perform remote learning without a direct face-to-face contact between a teacher and students. The new coronavirus pandemic has caused distance learning to become a reality in the modern education system. However, in the course of application of such a teaching format, it has been revealed electronic digital devices to negatively affect students’ health. However, in the course of such a teaching format, there emerge certain negative factors which influence on the student health. In this regard, there is a need for up-to-date hygiene standards that promote the regulation of education based on distance technologies. The study objective. To assess the impact of distance learning on the health of students of general educational institutions. Materials and methods. 135 students of grades 6-8, 10 of general educational organizations were surveyed to identify the features of learning mode and daily routine in general, the information education during distance learning and deviations from the normal state of health. An ophthalmological examination was performed using a Shin Nippon XL-1 hand-held slit lamp, OMEGA 500 Unplugged Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope, ophthalmological tonometer «TVGD-02», hardware and software complex KPA-01 «Zrenie». Results. A revealed negative tendency indicates to the deterioration of the students’ vision over a short period of distance education (November-December 2020) in general educational institutions of the Nizhny Novgorod region. Besides, distance learning triggers physical and emotional overload as well as mental overstrain. Limitations. The impact of distance learning on children and adolescents’ health was studied on a group of students in grades 6-8, 10 of two general educational institutions in Nizhny Novgorod, which is a sufficiently representative sample. Conclusion. The obtained results of the study can be used to support the hygienic requirements for the management of distance learning in general educational institutions.

Child Relationships in the Triad «School-Student-Family» During the Development of Distance Learning

In the spring of 2020, the WHO announced a coronavirus pandemic, which changed the usual course of events around the world. Many everyday tasks required additional efforts and resources. Remote educational technologies acquired a non-alternative and total nature, which necessitated their rapid development by all participants in the educational process. This period of mastering the school curriculum by children and their parents has become memorable for all subjects of the new virtual educational space. Teachers, parents, children had to urgently try themselves in a new quality and replenish the content of the social role with new «competencies». In order to identify the characteristics of the «school-student-family» relationship that developed during the period of mass and accelerated transfer of school education to a distance format and to determine the place and role of the child in this system of relations and a specific situation, a sociological study was conducted. It consisted of a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches – from content analysis and discourse analysis. As a source of information, we took text messages from users of the social network «Instagram» who spoke out on the problem of mastering distance educational technologies in the initial period of a pandemic. The study showed that in the triad of school-studentfamily relations, a child, due to age-related psychophysiological immaturity and lack of technical literacy in the use of distance educational technologies, acquires a secondary role as a «follower». The barriers in the acquisition of new knowledge that arose along with the introduction of distance technologies in school education updated the information and knowledge factor, the strengthening of which erases the boundaries between the child and adult world, and the lack of it isolates childhood from adults.
