Researched is the problem of implementing distance learning in the higher education system during the coronovirus pandemic. The results of a survey of 186 students of Kurgan State University studying in various scientific fields are considered. A comparative analysis of distance and full-time forms of education showed that half of the students of the humanities and mathematics/technical areas formed a positive attitude to the distance learning format; about a third of these students with a desire and the same number without a desire went to full-time form; they consider the ratio of 50/50% to be the optimal ratio of full-time and distance learning; and the quality of training and teaching, in their opinion, does not depend on the form of educational activity. Among the representatives of the natural science cycle, only 16% of students formed a positive attitude to distance learning and almost half of them (45%) were willing to go to full-time training; 51% believe that the motivation for learning is higher with full-time knowledge acquisition, and the optimal ratio of full-time and remote forms should be 70/30%; at the same time, in their opinion, the quality of education and teaching deteriorates in the distance. This is due, in our opinion, to the specifics of the disciplines studied. Most of the students of all training profiles (76–92%) are sure that it is easier to pass exams, pass border control, and pass certification remotely. 60–70% of all students experienced technical difficulties during the distance learning period. The main advantages of the distance form, according to students, are: the ability to study without leaving home (89–92%), in an individual mode, at a pace (88%); the ability to use hints (80–83%); no need to create a business image (78–86%). The main disadvantages: the lack of "live" communication (56–81%); technical problems (63–57%); reduced availability of material (40–70%); harm to health (40–50%), and others. The main advantages of the full-time form are: the presence of “live” communication (95%), the ability to get an explanation of a difficult question from the teacher (84–96%), the availability of perception of the material (53–76%), the completeness of participation in the educational process (60–67%), etc. Significant disadvantages of the full-time form are material costs for travel and meals at an educational institution (87–88%), loss of time due to the need to get to the place of study (85–87%), difficulties to use hints during control tests (50–75%), the need for regular preparation for classes (20–70%), and others.

The work considered a system of knowledge control of the Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University. It was shown that the quality of higher education depends mainly on the level of student training, the qualifications of teaching staff, the organization of the learning process, the efficiency of monitoring the quality of the education, and also factors allowing to improve the quality of education in the university. Assessment of the knowledge quality received by the students in the "Chemistry" discipline was carried out among the students of the Automobile Faculty of the KHNADU, entered the first year of the Bachelor of full-time education, during 2014/15–2018/19 academic years. The control was carried out with the help of traditional pedagogical practice types – the main (preliminary, final, and control of residual knowledge) and periodical (current and thematic knowledge tests). Statistical research on the performance of the main types of students' knowledge control, as more significant, shows that the important part of educational activity in university is an effective organization of its control. It was established that main principles of the control of students’ knowledge received during learning subject are the regularity and systematical conduct, the objectivity of assessment of the level of students' skills, the ability to identify the actual level of learning educational materials by the students, the timeliness of identification of the gaps in the learning process by the teacher and applying ways to overcome them. The internal and external factors affecting the performance of students during studying the "Chemistry" discipline have been distinguished. The internal factors are the knowledge level before entering the university and the motivation for learning the subject. The external are an organization of the educational process, self-organization of student learning activity, teaching methods and forms and professionalism of the educator, quality of additional services (holding consultations and individual lessons), educator-student relationship. It was identified that during studying the "Chemistry" discipline, the influence of the factors that students had before entering the university is weakened, and the external factors, which appeared in the process of studying in university, have a significant impact.

"The period of the covid pandemic changed day-to-day full-time teaching into distance learning. Teachers, but also parents without any prior training, had to react immediately. What has long been theoretically talked about professionally, namely the use of digitization of teaching in the online environment, has suddenly become a reality. Long discussions about the innovation of the curriculum for primary schools in terms of the scope and quality of educational content were suddenly solved by the teachers themselves using their professional skills and experience. Most of the surveys show [22], [15] that the teachers handled this situation very responsibly and that it can be stated that they managed it within the specific possibilities. Teachers, parents, and especially first-year primary school pupils had a very specific role during the pandemic, and thus the transition to distance learning. It is for this reason that we focused on this group, in our opinion the most affected by pandemics. The present study describes the experience of parents with distance learning reading and writing in the first grades of primary schools at the time of closing schools in the Czech Republic in the school year 2020/2021. The aim of the survey was to describe the effects of distance learning on the development of initial literacy, the differences between day-to-day and online teaching; problems, challenges, pros and cons that the distance learning period brought. The research was carried out as a multi-case study, in which interviews were conducted with six mothers of children - first-class pupils. The results showed that distance learning did not affect the quality of children's acquisition of reading and writing techniques, it only slowed it down. However, there was a decline in pupils' interest in reading and a disruption of their relationship with education in general. It was difficult for parents to motivate children to learn, to help them in case of difficulties with reading and writing techniques, and to evaluate their learning outcomes. On the other hand, distance learning has made it possible to further individualize education with regard to the needs of children and has deepened cooperation between school and family. Distance learning placed increased demands (physical and mental), especially on mothers, when it was necessary for their intensive involvement in the teaching process. Based on the evaluation of the course of distance learning, the paper brings general recommendations applicable to both distance and full-time teaching reading and writing."

In the context of digitalization of all spheres of everyday, industrial and public life, higher and secondary vocational education have the opportunity to move to a new level using modern information and communication technologies and involve the largest possible student audience into the learning process. Experience in the field of distance learning over the past decades shows that this form of educational process organization has a number of advantages over traditional forms of training. Among these advantages are democracy, lower cost of training, the opportunity to participate in the educational process in conditions of territorial separation, combining training with other types of activities, etc. At the same time, in the process of distance learning, the teacher and students also face a number of problems associated with the lack of the possibility of personal and emotional non-verbal contacts, when communication "person-person" is replaced by communication "person-computer". In the context of the forced transition of all higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation to distance learning due to a difficult epidemic situation, it became possible to assess the advantages and disadvantages of this form of training from the point of view of full-time students who had no previous experience of on-line education. A comparative analysis of the opinions of first-year students of the Ural State University of Economics and the college of this university shows that the respondents named the main advantages of distance learning a greater freedom in conducting classes in the absence of constant control and the possibility of combining education with other activities. The main disadvantages are the lack of feedback from the teacher due to distancing, as well as technical problems. The lack of emotional contact with educators was found to be a more serious problem for college students than for university students. It can be concluded that distance learning is more in line with the needs and capabilities of adult learners, and specific forms of organizing classes need to be adapted to the conditions of a specific audience.

The article discusses the issues of organizing the educational process of interns-pharmacists using the elements of distance learning at Vinnytsia National Pirogov Memorial Medical University (Ukraine). The authors have made the state analysis of the educational process providing at different stages. It is emphasized that communication between all participants of the educational process using distance learning elements is of great importance. The authors describe technical and technological peculiarities of the organization of the educational process, formation of the personnel structure, preparation of scientific methodical and didactic materials, organization of communication at the distant stage. The ways of increasing the effectiveness of the educational process are investigated, among them: the organization of the educational process in the form of three stages (organizational setting, distance, check-and-test) with observance of clearly established training schedule; formation of an individual educational trajectory of an intern with constant monitoring of educational achievements; organization of familiarization of interns with the peculiarities of using the distance learning platform tools at the first (full-time) stage of training; updating the content of materials for independent study, practical works and tests in accordance with changes in legislation and regulatory documents; drawing of tests subjects on separate modules to tests subjects of complex examination "Elex"; changing the timing of synchronous types of educational activities (chat-seminars, webinars, consultations) to more convenient one. It has been shown that distance learning has a significant advantage over other forms of learning due to the fact that every intern has the opportunity to study at individual pace, choosing convenient time and place for work. The analysis of the results of the interns' work on separate modules and types of educational activity has been carried out taking into account changes in the educational process. The outcomes of various forms of pedagogical control presented in the article permit to trace the correlation both by separate educational disciplines and in groups of interns in general.
