Introduction. The article discusses ambiguous attitudes of information society citizens to the use of digital technologies in education. The aim of the research is to reveal and describe the deterministic nature of society and education, to explain the reasons for the ambiguous attitudes towards the use of digital technologies in education, and to analyze and summarize their advantages and capabilities to improve academic outcomes in the context of distance learning. Materials and Methods. By adopting personality-centered, activity-based and environmental approaches, the study considers the individual as a subject of learning and teaching, who can freely choose modes and means of learning, as well as communicative strategies within learning environments. Research methods include analysis of scholarly literature, synthesis of findings, and generalization. Empirical data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using statistical data processing methods. The sample consisted of students and teachers. Results. The literature review has been used to characterize and describe the information society in order to reveal its contradictory nature and multi-vector impact on the individual in the educational environment. Changes in the psycho-biological mechanisms of learners belonging to Generation Z are outlined and summarized. The authors emphasize the need for adjusting teaching methods to the peculiarities of modern learners. The study indicates that learners’ attitudes towards digital technologies are determined by their ICT competence. The recommendations on the improvement of instruction in a virtual learning environment are presented. Conclusions. The information society has predetermined the inevitability of the introduction and use of information technologies in the education, which , on the one hand, increases learners’ educational and research capabilities, and, on the other hand, requires a high level of ICT competence as well as major expenditures on such changes. The identified contradictions have led to restrained attitudes to distance (online) learning.

The article combines historical, cultural and systematic approaches to the analysis of digital transformations of society and man. Digital technologies play a crucial role in the transformation of economy, politics and society at the new stage of technologization. Developments and strategic projects for the introduction of arti­ficial intelligence, robotics, augmented and hybrid realities are implemented not only in the areas of dangerous, labor-intensive and routine work (i.e. in military affairs, industry, financial and economic operations), but also in the intellectual and creative spheres. The global time of change requires a global-system analysis. The invention of high information technologies and the interest of big business in the one-sided technologization of society disrupted the balanced co-evolution of computer technology and society. The author offers a noo-eco-geosystem ap­proach to the analysis of the crisis of technogenic civilization and the search for ways out of it. The complex grid of coordinates of the analysis includes planetary-physical, geo-ecological, geopolitical, geo-economical, geo-social, national socio-cultural, ethical and anthropological dimensions. The noo-eco-geosystem ap­proach makes it possible to reveal the catastrophic risks of digital economy and society strategies. The author considers energy and information and communica­tion technologies as catalysts for the accelerated transformation of society and the individual. These catalysts allow us to identify both the negative and positive as­pects of the global processes of evolution, as well as the “positive in the nega­tive”. The system analysis of digital transformations of society and man assumes consideration of methodological aspects of opportunities and limitations of tech­nologies. The destructive and purifying character of the transformations of nature and society is considered as a self-organizing process of the formation of the global world order, the future picture of the world and the qualitative transforma­tions of the mind on the basis of the values of noospheric ethics and geosociality

The use of modern information technologies, including distance learning, significantly strengthened the traditional approaches to the educational process in higher education institutions. On the one hand, the reason for this is the rapid development of information and communication technologies, and as a consequence, appearance of new modern pedagogical approaches to conducting lectures, practical and laboratory trainings. On the other hand, students also have changed. Under present conditions, they have a number of personal qualities that were not inherent to pupils and students of previous years. The article argues the use of distance learning technologies and the possibilities of modern specialists trained in educational measurements in the field of distance learning.

The need for self-education is becoming more common in the information society. Moreover, this form of education becomes a continuous process, since knowledge is an inexhaustible resource. Self-education is a form of individual activity of a person motivated by his own professional and personal needs and interests and aimed at acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities and improving them. The main feature of this type of activity is the absence of an educational institution and a training person, freedom of choice. With the advent of the information technology age, self-education is becoming increasingly popular. As many researchers note, this trend is due, first, to global changes associated with the transition from a post-industrial to an information society, which assumes the work of a person with information as the leading type of activity. Secondly, for modern market relations, the value of self-education is manifested in the fact that it acts as an instrument of social mobility. Third, self-education becomes one of the priority elements of the lifestyle of a number of social groups, contributing to the change of their place and role in the social structure of society. And, finally, self-education is one of the main factors and indicators of the improvement of the individual, and, consequently, of society. Based on this, self - education acts, on the one hand, as an integral part of self-education, self-improvement of the individual, and on the other-as the main method of continuing education, a means of continuous education. The article presents the results of a study conducted using the Stephenson method, which involved 20 respondents (10m+10j) aged 18 to 35 years. The purpose of the study was to identify the opinions of young people regarding the characteristics of self-education in the information society. Of the 30 statements submitted that reflected these traits, respondents were asked to express their agreement or disagreement with them using a scale from -2 to +2.

The article is devoted to the problems of continuous professional education of doctors within distance learning. The effectiveness of continuous professional development of specialists in the field of health care, the use of information technologies in the educational process, the introduction of web technologies in distance learning, as well as the factors of efficiency and productivity of distance education have been investigated. The own results of distance learning introduction on the basis of Donetsk national medical university for the doctors who have received special training with a cycle “Medical psychology» during a global quarantine have been presented. Four main categories of problems faced by students and teachers within the distance work have been identified. The ways of solving the established problems have been outlined and the steps of effective organization of distance learning and feedback of students from the cycle “Medical Psychology” have been given. These outlined problems are divided into organizational, competence, learning and teaching, personal — characterological. The solution of the outlined problems can be divided into levels: organizational problems are solved at the level of the educational institution; competence — the level of the educational institution and faculty; educational and methodical — within the profile department or departments; personal-characterological — within the system of interaction “teacher-listener”. Competently organized distance learning improves the educational process, improves the quality and control of acquired knowledge and forms effective feedback.

In the context of the transition to a digital economy and the use of information technologies in all spheres of human activity, the problem of training a teacher capable of carrying out professional activities in these conditions becomes urgent. The article shows the importance of mathematics and mathematical education not only for the development of the digital economy and the level of mathematical literacy of the population, but also for the advanced professional training of future mathematics teachers in the field of ICT competence. The authors substantiate the possibility in the formation of the future teacher’s ICT competence within the framework of mathematical education, on the one hand, by the universality of mathematics, which allows transforming a huge amount of information, on the other hand, by referring mathematics and computer science to one subject area of knowledge, which makes it possible to determine generalized educational results in a given subject area. The analysis of the problems of the development of mathematics education allowed the authors to state that in order to increase the competitiveness of a future mathematics teacher in the labor market, he must have not only a high level of subject training, but also possess information educational resources in mathematics, be able to work on information and educational portals, be ready for work in a high-tech digital educational environment. The authors, presenting their own experience, highlight the main directions of using ICT tools in the educational process in mathematics. Particular attention in the article is paid to blended learning, which, based on ICT, changes the role of both the teacher and the student.

Abstract In contrast to medical care, which is focused on the individual patient, public health is focused on collective health. This article argues that, in order to better protect the individual, discussions of public health would benefit from incorporating the insights of virtue ethics. There are three reasons to for this. First, the collective focus may cause neglect of the effects of public health policy on the interests and rights of individuals and minorities. Second, whereas the one-on-one encounters in medical care facilitate a compassionate and caring attitude, public health involves a distance between professionals and the public. Therefore, public health professionals must use imagination and care to evaluate the effects of policies on individuals. Third, the relationship between public health professionals and the people who are affected by the policies they design is characterized by power asymmetry, demanding a high level of responsibility from those who wield them. Against this background, it is argued that public health professionals should develop the virtues of responsibility, compassion and humility. The examples provided, i.e. breastfeeding information and vaccination policy, illustrate the importance of these virtues, which needed for normative as well as instrumental reasons, i.e. as a way to restore trust.

The article considers the didactic principles of the organization of blended learning in the study of German as a second foreign language at the Department of Applied Linguistics of the National University "Lviv Polytechnic". The authors generalized the experience of domestic and foreign researchers on the implementation of blended learning and technology for the development of distance learning courses in the virtual learning environment Moodle. The courses on speech practice, practical grammar, translation disciplines placed on this platform meet the basic methodical requirements for conducting blended and distance learning, take into account the individual trajectory of study, enable interactive interaction between teacher and student; contribute to the formation of communicative sociolinguistic competence of students. The electronic platform Moodle has great potential for the implementation of a comprehensive system of monitoring and evaluation of knowledge and skills of students. Test tasks meet such didactic requirements as accessibility, speed, objectivity, transparency, validity, compliance with the current pace of information flow, etc. With the help of the program-editor of interactive tasks it is possible to develop tests of different complexity and different variations: multiple choice, filling in the blanks, finding matches, compiling crossword puzzles, etc. The test tasks developed and posted by the authors on the Moodle platform for learning German as a second foreign language were successfully tested during 2019/2020, 2020/2021. The results of success are the basis for further improvement of teacher / student interaction in full-time, blended and distance learning. It is concluded that electronic educational platforms are one of the effective opportunities to improve the quality of language education, contribute to the formation of readiness for professional activity in a multicultural space.
