Introduction. The paper addresses the issue of support of the students involved in a fully online retraining program, which imposes special requirements on the development of the self-education ability. The study aims to establish the conditions for organizing the support of self-education in a digital educational environment. Materials and methods. The study relies on the methodology proposed by G.N. Prozumentova for reconstructing the innovative experience to analyze the reflexive text materials of the Logbook of students of the retraining program; to identify the points of stress, misunderstanding, breaks, and transitions during training; and make an analytical generalization. Results of the study. Categories of difficulties encountered by students of the program in their self-educational activity were identified, and the conditions necessary to support self-education were established. These are points of self-determination, professional trials, points of reflection, and individual educational route. Conclusion. In the context of restrictive measures during the pandemic and the transition to the online educational process, self-skills related to self-education, i.e., self-organization, independence, and self-determination, become essential. These competences are an indispensable part of the work of a tutor. However, before the tutor can support someone, they need to build these self skills themselves. The established conditions in the retraining programs will facilitate this process. At the same time, additional studies are required to reveal in more detail the individual progress of a person under these conditions for building a model for supporting the development of self-education ability, and to determine the methods for tutors to provide the support of this progress.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction of Greeks to this new educational reality due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Since the first restrictive measures were implemented in March 2020in Greece, distance learning has become a dynamic part of people’s daily lives with the prospect of remain in gas such in the future. A total of N=170 students, parents, teachers, civil servants, private sector employees who were involved in the distance learning process either as instructors or as students in the period of Covid-19 pandemic in Greece, were selected with the use of snowball sampling. A questionnaire using demographic and satisfaction related variables was completed by the respondents, namely citizens across Greece, based on a Likert scale questionnaire which is a useful and multidimensional instrument, to assess satisfaction within the time frame from July 7, 2020 to October 20, 2020; the period when there occurred a loosening in the restrictive measures between the two lockdowns in Greece. It was investigated how the demographic factors, specifically gender, age, occupation, and place of residence, influence the attitude of the respondents towards synchronous and asynchronous distance learning as well as their intention to continue using online education services in the future after the lifting of the restrictive measures. Additionally, the customers’ preferences concerning the most enjoyable distance learning experience were examined, so that they will be available to the distance learning program designers. Descriptive statistical analysis and non-parametric statistical hypothesis tests were conducted in SPSS and R. Most of the respondents had not participated in online courses before the Covid-19 outbreak, 46 % did participate in e-learning courses before the Covid-19 lockdown while 54 % did not and 34.1% respondents prefer face-to-face learning, while 15.9% prefer e-learning. Also, 50% respondents prefer a combination of face-to-face learning and e-learning. Hypothesis tests showed that there are statistically significant differences between users’ preferences as well as regarding their demographic characteristics. Undergraduate and postgraduate university students continue to participate in online learning courses and are willing to invest financial resources and time in this new educational process (?2(4)=10.440, p=0.034), unlike high school students who prefer face-to-face learning (p=0.042). The present study will lead to practical implications, such as the formation of e-learning programs which aim for the best user experience and the best learning outcomes. Also, private educational organizations can include the results in the key elements to implementing a strategic marketing mix.

Student Body

One of the newest principles of modern pedagogy is the humanization of education – the focus on personal development. The construction of personality-oriented methodological systems requires appropriate changes in the content of physical education and its methodological support. Today the high school functions as a profile. During distance learning, each student must gain some social experience, gaining in the process of achieving a common result by interacting with other members of the student body, develops communication skills. A huge advantage of this type of educational activity is the involvement of absolutely all students in the class. The main purpose of school education is the holistic development of the student's personality. The means of personal development that reveals its potential inner abilities is independent cognitive and mental activity. Thus, the teacher's task is to provide such activities, which are facilitated by modern interactive technologies. In this case, the student himself opens the way to knowledge. and the acquisition of knowledge is the result of his activities. To achieve maximum results, it is necessary to use methods that enhance the activities of students. Interactive teaching of physics allows to form their active-cognitive position, which meets the current educational needs of the modern educational process. Scientific and social progress is rapidly, radically changing the working conditions and content of the teacher. In this regard, there is a need to create such methodological systems that would meet not only the general goals and objectives of teaching physics, but would also have reasonable means to achieve the end results of learning and general physical education by students. Тhe peculiarity of the seminar is that it orients students to the manifestation of high cognitive activity in educational activities. The teacher at the seminar only manages the collective activities of students. Seminar training differs from the traditional one, which is characterized as a «teacher-student» interaction, it should involve mainly the «student-student» interaction (student both teaches and learns). It is very important that the seminars are not monotonous, that students are interested not only in the issues under consideration, but also the forms of their discussion, methods of work in the classroom, making them interesting and dynamic. This can be achieved by using in practice various types of seminars and increasing the level of active cognitive activity of students. The techniques that promote the development of active independent actions of the student in the classroom include the creation of such situations in which he must be able to: defend their opinion, provide arguments, evidence, using their knowledge and life experience; ask questions to teachers and peers, find out the unclear; review answers; help classmates with complications, explain to them the incomprehensible; independently perform tasks designed for reading literature, observation, etc.; find not one but several independent solutions; practice free choice of tasks, mainly exploratory and creative; be interested in collective activities and promote the creative search for peers.

Implementation Purpose

The global pandemic and forced self-isolation have become significant factors in the rapid restructuring of training at all levels of education, and postgraduate in particular. They have caused not only the reformatting of the content, forms and methods of the advanced training system, but also mastering of tools and technologies of distance learning as the main way of communication between the educational process subjects. The article analyzes the contemporary tendencies in organization of the advanced training process of physical education teachers based on introduction of distance learning technologies. Improving the advanced training system of physical education teachers comprises the use of their multilevel preparation, which consists of continuous self-educational activity (first level); regular participation in organized forms of advanced training (advanced training and internship courses) (second level); analytical, scientific, and practical activity (third level). Self-educational activity includes acquaintance with online tools for distance learning organization and their use in practice. «Methodical materials» prepared by the Committee of Physical Education and Sports of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for physical education teachers, the implementation purpose of which is to diversify motor leisure in quarantine terms; informational content of the YouTube channel «Junior Z» in the framework of the All- Ukrainian project «Physical Culture of the Future»; the project of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine «Digital Physical Education for schoolchildren with the participation of sports stars» are among them. The example of organized form of advanced training of physical education teachers is given based on the experience of Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European National University in the sphere of postgraduate education and continuous pedagogical education. In particular, the curriculum and organization peculiarities of the distance advanced training course for physical education teachers in quarantine terms are characterized. By conducting distance learning courses in such a way, teachers' behavior is modelled when they need to organize distance learning support for students in their schools. Within the framework of continuous education, physical education teachers should improve their qualification not only in their professional specialization field, but also in the sphere of information and communication technologies.
