Distance Learning Technologies in Teaching Russian as a Non-Native Language in Primary School

The article studies distance education technologies in teaching Russian as a non-native language in primary schools. Modern Russian schools are multicultural, because their students have not spoken Russian since childhood together with Russian-speaking classmates. Most of them study in primary schools (grades 1-4). The relevance of the research is determined by the current situation in the world, where distance learning has become an integral part of the educational process, and also by the lack of knowledge of the online resources potential in teaching Russian as a non-native language at school. The aim of the study is to determine the possibilities of including distance technologies in the practice of teaching Russian to foreign-speaking primary school students. The material is scientific and educational literature on the issue, as well as Internet resources for students studying Russian as a foreign and non-native language. The authors used methods of analysis, synthesis, evaluation, forecasting, and survey. The results of the research are detecting the features of distance-learning technologies in modern schools: online resources are used in fragments, the technical capabilities of schools are not used or are not used enough, materials on Russian as a non-native language are not presented on the used platforms, and schoolmasters do not have experience in using distance learning technologies in teaching Russian to foreign speakers and also determining the directions for improving online teaching of Russian as a non-native language to primary school students: interconnected teaching of speech activities, the use of distance learning technologies for students individual work on the program, presenting generalized material of lessons, language and speech exercises, as well as materials for monitoring. The conclusion contains findings about the educational potential of distance technologies: massive opportunities for generalizing and revising lesson material, language skills automation and speech skills training, interconnected training of speech activities, cognitive activity intensification and compensation for the lack of classroom time for teaching Russian as a non-native language.

Complex physiological and hygienic assessment of the main regime elements of educational and extracurricular activities of students of institutions of higher medical education in the conditions of distance learning

Annotation. Physiological and hygienic assessment of the main regime elements of educational and extracurricular activities of young girls and young boys in higher education is an essential component of research, which involves identifying risk factors for the likely development of negative changes in the functionality and adaptive resources of their organism. The research, based on the application of questionnaires and structured interviews, was conducted on the basis of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, where under supervision during the observation period were 110 students who studied on 1 and 3 courses. The analysis of the obtained data and their prognostic evaluation involved the use of descriptive statistics procedures based on the use of a standardized package of statistical analysis applications “Statistica 6.1 for Windows” (licensed № ВXXR901E245722FA). In the course of the research a comprehensive physiological and hygienic assessment of the main regime elements of educational and extracurricular activities of students of higher medical education in the organization of distance learning and identified their leading differences from similar characteristics when using traditional forms of education. It was found that the share of indicators on the duration of continuous study activities of students, which are considered unfavorable and those that exceed its maximum allowable time range (more than 9 hours, from 8 to 9 hours and from 7 to 8 hours), under the use of distance format was lower than the proportion of similar indicators in the classroom. At the same time, the opposite picture is registered during the analysis of data on the features of educational and meaningful preparation for practical classes carried out at home. Among distance learning students, data that reflected the indicators of the duration of the dynamic component in the structure of the daily time budget had to be considered significantly lower. In the course of a subjectively significant generalized assessment of the daily activities of young girls and young boys, it was found that it should be considered more intense in terms of the use of distance learning technologies. The obtained results should be further used both for the development of methods for comprehensive assessment of the state of adaptive resources of students, taking into account the peculiarities of their daily activities, and during the scientific substantiation of effective use of health technologies in higher medical education.
