Distance Learning Technologies

Modern distance learning technologies offer unique opportunities for organizing the educational process. In the world practice distance education occupies more than 60% of the educational services market. However in Russia distance education has so far remained in low demand. The forced transition to the distance learning format contributed to the revision of the methodic potential of distance learning technologies and distance learning in general. In view of this, teachers had a lot of questions regarding the organization of feedback with the training group, the transfer of educational materials to distance education platforms, the implementation of perfor-mance monitoring and much more. The issue of developing the competence of foreign language teachers has become particularly relevant in the pedagogical environment. Due to the lack of appropriate skills teachers had to adapt to the new educational conditions and completely rebuild the educational process. The formation of an educational environment with the use of distance learning technologies in teaching a foreign language is a time requirement that needs a modern solution to the tasks set. We consider the terminological apparatus on the topic of the problem under study, determine the advantages and disadvantages of using these technologies, the forms of organizing distance learning as well as the content of the competence of a foreign language teacher at a university.

Introduction. The modern development of information and communication technologiesand the current epidemiological situation have led to the widespread use of distance educational technologies. The article presents the results of a statistical analysis of the data obtained during the hygienic assessment of the characteristics of the lifestyle and activity of students in the period of active introduction of forms and methods of distance education.Material and methods. An online survey of 498 students in 2019 during the period of traditional education and 1587 students in April 2020 during the implementation of the educational process in the distance format was conducted. The coordinator of the work was the Department of Hygiene of the Pediatric Faculty of the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow.Results. The obtained data allows talking about the negative impact of electronic devices on the lifestyle of students. A significant increase in the time of the use of gadgets (almost twice) and their number (2-4) when transferring the educational process to a remote format is proved. In general, the use of stationary and mobile electronic devices in more than 50% of respondents amounted to five hours or more. A decrease in the quality characteristics of the lifestyle of students in higher education during the transition to distant education has been established, while more than a third of them do not realize this. As risk factors, a decrease in motor activity, visual impairment, neuropsychic stress, poor nutrition, etc. In the absence of direct contact with university teachers, the opportunities for creating healthy lifestyle skills within the university are reduced and the importance of teachers as an authoritarian influence and a personal example for students is reduced.Conclusion. Informatization and the introduction of distance learning technologies in the higher education system require comprehensive studies of the advantages and disadvantages of such a learning format. The forced mass introduction of distance learning technologies in the educational process has exposed many problems that have not yet been given sufficient attention and, in the future, they can become the basis for promising research in the field of educational hygiene. The results obtained suggest that modern students do not pay enough attention to their lifestyle in the period of the distant education.

The paper analyzes the results of an associative experiment conducted with second-year students (SibADI, Omsk) in the fall of 2020 with the aim of assessing the experience of the mass introduction of distance learning technologies, assessing the receptive reactions of students, identifying the degree of emotional comfort of learning during a pandemic, the difficulties they had to be faced, their sources and the degree of recurrence. The results of the study became the basis for the development of methodological recommendations in order to increase the degree of effectiveness of the educational process in a distance format. The introduction reveals the essence of the concept of distance education, its goals and objectives at different stages in different countries. A number of advantages provided by the distance learning format and its relevance in the modern world are highlighted. The results of the experiment showed that not all students are psychologically ready for a sharp transition to distance learning. The wide public resonance aroused increased interest in researching the problems that have arisen in this educational sphere. The associative experiment took place in two stages. The first question was aimed at identifying the preferences of the form of education of full-time students. The question was: What form of education do you prefer full-time or distance learning? The responses ratio was 70:30. Seventy percent of the surveyed respondents preferred full-time education, the rest distance learning. In the second part, they were invited to take part in an associative experiment to reconstruct a fragment of the national linguistic picture of the world in a certain historical period. Through an associative experiment, we were able to identify and analyze the psychoemotional assessment of the components and their frequency within the modified concept of distance education; practical recommendations of a didactic nature were proposed for reducing negative connotations and removing psychological barriers in the process of distance learning.

The introduction of quarantine restrictions in the world has led to restrictions on many industries of both economic and social spheres of life. Education has not become an exception. The need to level the large number of students necessitated the search for alternative ways of organising educational and pedagogical processes. This is especially an issue for higher education institutions. Higher education institutions train specialists for many sectors of the economy and a significant break in the educational process due to quarantine restrictions could lead to a real collapse of the higher education system. This necessitates the search for ways to transform the pedagogical process in higher education institutions and the introduction of alternative mechanisms and methods of organising the educational process. The purpose of the study was to investigate the ways of transformation of the pedagogical process in higher education during the quarantine. A systematic algorithm for studying the transformation of the pedagogical process in conditions of quarantine and quarantine restrictions in higher education has been developed. The advantages and disadvantages of distance learning technologies of higher education have been identified. The main features of such remote technologies as Moodle, Google Classroom, and Zoom are analysed.

The need to know at least one foreign language is an important and undoubted factor on the path to success of modern man and professional in their field, given that more and more professionals and scientists seek international work, participate in international conferences. Until recently, foreign language classes were quite traditional, namely held in a real classroom, using traditional teaching methods and tools. But given the epidemic situation in 2020, more and more educational institutions are deciding to switch to blended or distance learning. Distance learning in these terms has become a decent attempt to solve the temporal and spatial constraints of the traditional personal learning. Online learning has been the result of the full adoption of technology as part of our lives. In today's world, the term "distance learning" originated due to needs of society and in a short period of time combined all the benefits of the use of modern technologies in the educational process, namely the use of social networking and multimedia along with traditional methods. Distance learning technologies are many new opportunities for teaching foreign languages that allow even more to expand the range of teaching techniques. This paper reports the issues and problems of transition from the traditional type of studying to the distance learning, as well as its features and difficulties that may arise during the transition. The article also reports the prospects for further use of distance learning. This work also highlights the psychological and pedagogical features that may affect the teacher's performance of their pedagogical activities, as well as problems that may arise during the transition to distance learning. The main methods of teaching a foreign language under distance learning are proposed.
