The article focuses on the students’ readiness for online education in Ukrainian pedagogical higher education institutions, since distance learning is not only a new learning technology for teachers-to-be, but also the object of their study and further application in the pedagogical career. The study employed the authors’ questionnaires for 120 faculty members and 320 students, observations and diagnostic tests. To assess the students’ current readiness for e-learning, the following criteria were employed: independence in the acquisition of knowledge, cognitive activity, mastering methods of online education activities. Characteristics of levels of students’ readiness for e-learning are given. The need for initial training of teachers and students to use distance learning technologies is confirmed. Analysis of research data revealed mostly medium and sufficient level of teachers’-to-be independence of learning, cognitive activity and experience of application of online educational activities. Basic conceptual positions and conditions for effective e-learning in Ukrainian pedagogical higher education institutions as prerequisites for students’ readiness for e-education are described.

The paper has a two-fold purpose. The first purpose of the research is to clarify the concept of “readiness of teachers of higher education institutions to use distance learning technologies”, to determine the components and indicators of teachers’ readiness to use distance learning technologies. The other purpose is to announce the results of the conducted online survey on teachers’ readiness for distance learning; understand how distance learning methods are being implemented, which need to be modified or improved, establish the depth of complications associated with transitioning to online teaching due to the introduction of COVID-19 quarantine and provide the information to stakeholders to further improve the process of distance learning. The article is based on the survey of scientific literature on teachers’ readiness/preparedness to distance education and results of the authors’ COVID-19 Teachers’ Questionnaire with 485 faculty members of major higher education institutions of Cherkasy region (Ukraine). The author proves that the effectiveness of distance learning depends on subjective (teachers’ and students’ preparedness for distance education) and objective factors (material and technical base of higher education institutions). Components of teacher’s readiness for distance learning and their indicators are summarized: motivational, cognitive, operational, technological, creative, personal. The outcomes of the questionnaire have identified that most respondents lack theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for the implementation of distance learning and encounter difficulties in teaching during quarantine.

Problem and goal. The active introduction of e-learning and distance learning technologies in the educational process, the reform of traditional models of learning and education have become priority areas of reforms and initiatives in various national education systems in the 21st century. Given that public spending is the main source of funding for education in the OECD countries, assessing the economic impact of implementing a digital educational environment at different levels of education under pressure on public budgets has become a key issue for national governments and educational organizations, as well as the subject of special research. In Russian practice assessment of the economic effect of the full-scale use of e-learning and distance learning technologies in the implementation of educational programs of secondary professional (training of middle-level specialists) and higher education have not yet been carried out. For these purposes, a methodology has been developed, which, however, needs to be tested. Results. The study identified a list of costs required to ensure the full use of e-learning and distance educational technologies in realization of educational programs of secondary vocational (training of mid-level professionals) and higher (including graduate school) education; the methodlogy for assessing the economic effect of these measures is justified, and calculations are made based on this methodology. Conclusion. The developed methodology has shown its effectiveness and needs further research and quantitative analysis.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of introduction of distance learning in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. The article presents the results of an anonymous survey of research and teaching staff and students of higher education institutions on the use of distance learning technologies in the conditions of national quarantine, conducted by the State Education Quality Service of Ukraine. According to the results of the survey, conclusions were made about the degree of effectiveness and further prospects for the introduction of new teaching methods in a pandemic. In order to identify achievements, possible difficulties and determine the main trends in the further development of distance technologies, the State Service for the Quality of Education of Ukraine conducted an anonymous survey of scientific and pedagogical workers and students of higher education institutions on the use of distance learning technologies in conditions of national quarantine. The survey was conducted from 23.04. to 05.05.2020. 28 391 respondents took part in the survey - 22367 students and 6024 scientific and pedagogical workers. As a result of the research, conclusions were drawn that the distance learning technologies in Ukraine and in the world are rapidly developing and are a promising tool for the provision of educational services. Thus, the introduction of quarantine during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic revealed not only new problems in higher education in Ukraine, but also new challenges and opportunities for higher education institutions from three points of view: for students, this is an experience of self-discipline and self-education; for teachers - the use of new methods and tools of distance learning; for structural divisions of universities, this is practical testing of the technical capabilities of distance learning; defining a clear distance learning strategy, where students not only gain knowledge, but also cooperate with teachers in a feedback mode; awareness of the need to quickly master the volume of home education.

This article examines the process of transition of the higher education system to distance learning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the uniform transition to distance learning, higher education institutions differ in the strategy of its organization. As a result, an analysis was made of the country's higher educational institutions and the measures they have taken to transfer teachers and students to online education. The analysis highlighted a number of challenges faced by higher education institutions during the transition to a new format of distance learning, including the lack of infrastructure and material and technical base, difficulties in adapting training materials to the new format, lack of staff qualifications and experience of remote work. Taking into account the above problems, the pandemic showed the need for additional budgetary funds for the development of a digital educational environment, professional development of the teaching staff, as well as for the creation of jobs at universities for students who lost their jobs during the crisis, which allowed them to pay for tuition and related costs. Thus, given all the abovementioned difficulties in the transition to distance learning, for the full functioning of higher education institutions and to prevent a potential increase in unemployment, an increase in costs is necessary. This article also discusses proposals on the need to make appropriate changes in management and financial models in the field of education.

Institutional Adoption

As learning technologies advance and become more ubiquitous, particularly in e- learning, new opportunities are emerging for higher education institutions to address significant academic and administrative challenges. Driven by increasing competition, changing environments and other market forces, institutions are considering learning technologies in order to thrive and remain relevant. This study gathered insights from existing literature to propose a conceptual model that supports decision making in the adoption of learning technologies by higher education institutions. The conceptual model adopts the Transformative Framework for Learning Innovation as its foundation and superimposes the Emerging Learning Technologies Model. The resulting model provides a clear guidance for higher education institution to achieve five key learning characteristics. This paper found that combining these two approaches provides a logical approach for higher education institutions to address organisational, strategic and learning-specific dimensions in a coherent format. Furthermore, academics and practitioners can benefit from valuable insights in the proposed alternative approach to learning technology adoption.

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.
