State and prospects of distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic

Problem and goal. In Russian society, the simultaneous and mass transition to distance learning of educational organizations in March 2020 in connection with a new coronavirus infection caused a sharp discussion about the effectiveness and consequences of this format of training, as well as about the prospects for its use after the COVID-19 pandemic. In the current conditions, the education system is faced with the task of training specialists in the face of the uncertainty of the future and the accelerated digitalization of the economy. The purpose of the research is to analyze the main factors influencing the development and spread of distance learning in the coming years, as well as the possible short and long-term consequences of switching to distance learning in higher education institutions. Methodology. The analysis of the scientific literature and practical activities, as well as experienced teaching, was used in the study. Results. The content and form of education will significantly transform in the long term. Today the necessary digital competencies cannot be acquired within the framework of the traditional educational process (lectures, seminars, exams in oral form), without the systematic use of information technologies in the educational process. Information technologies will be in high demand by graduates and will allow them to be prepared for the practical use of IT in the workplace. In addition, it can significantly improve the effectiveness of training because it allows to implement an individual learning trajectory, personalize training, remove restrictions on the time and place of training, and increase the visibility and interactivity of the educational process. Conclusion. Online education, e-learning using distance learning technologies in the long term will meet the demand of students and society for training in an uncertain future. Thanks to information technologies, conditions are created for active cognitive and educational activities of students, individualization of training is provided, turning the student into an active and equal participant in the educational process, including by refusing to provide ready-made differentiated knowledge, which leads to the formation of the reproductive nature of thinking in students.

The Way

Due to the pandemic in the spring of 2020, all educational institutions in China had to organize distance learning. It was crucial to introduce effective teaching methods and to use distance learning technologies. The authors of the article described the way online education was organized during the quarantine semester on the example of teaching Practical Russian grammar at Jilin International Studies University (Changchun, China). The purpose of the research is to describe the three-step process of teaching Practical Russian grammar to foreign students and the way distance learning technologies were used. The teachers organized online classes on Practical Russian grammar using BOPPPS model for lesson planning (five teaching steps: B - bridge-in, O - objective, P - pre-assessment, P - participatory, P - post-assessment, S - summary). Lessons were based on this method and the educational process included three steps: 1) students used Xuexitong application to acquire primary knowledge before the lesson; 2) classroom work was organized through the Xuexitong and DingTalk applications - it was aimed at internalization and expansion of knowledge, the ultimate goal was to develop Russian grammar skills; 3) using Xuexitong and DingTalk applications after the classes, the students improved their grammar and communication skills. In addition, the authors of the article proposed the ways to improve the knowledge assessment system and the entire educational process based on the suggested online learning model. Results and scientific novelty are that a practice-oriented approach to language learning can be implemented on the basis of the proposed teaching method. Such an approach enables students to have constant access to a large number of educational resources and to be promptly informed of any changes, which meets learners individual needs and increases their motivation, self-learning abilities and self-organization. Apart from that, students learn better and improve their oral and written communication skills.

Problem and goal. The article describes how to organize electronic training materials for post-training support. The relevance of the article is determined, on the one hand, by the external needs to expand the sphere of education, the tasks of further development of informatization of education, and on the other hand, by the internal needs of the development of the information culture of students [1; 13; 6-8]. The problem is determined by the presence of a contradiction between the existing high didactic potential of distance post-training support, the importance of such training for effective training of students and the absence of such training, implemented using a structural approach to the design and use of electronic training materials. The purpose of the article is to describe approaches to the development and testing of a system of electronic training materials implemented on the basis of the structural approach for organizing post-training support using distance learning technologies. Methodology. The methodological basis was the ideas for the implementation of distance learning presented in the works of A.A. Andreeva, E.S. Polat, V.I. Soldatkina et al.; the main provisions of the theory of technologization of the learning process, which were studied by V.P. Bespalko, P.I. Pidkasisty, G.K. Selevko, A.M. Sohor et al.; issues of structuring training materials that were considered by I.V. Akimova, A.I. Arkhipova, Yu.I. Askerko, I.V. Burov, S.A. Butakov, L.P. Voronina, D.V. Danilov, A.M. Sokhor, O.E. Filippov, L.S. Chernyshov and others. Scientific articles devoted to issues of corporate training and personnel development are presented by such authors as: A. Bychkov, O. Dugina, Zh. Zavyalova, I. Kolodkina, A. Korolkov, A. Matveev, A. Miroshnichenko, O. Naydenov, M.V. Klarin, A. Novikova, N. Titova, N. Khryashchev, O. Emikh, A. Satvalov. Results. The feasibility of using distance learning technologies in the implementation of post-training support for students, as well as the application of a structural approach to the design and use of a training materials system for distance post-training support for students is substantiated. The principles and conditions of using the structural approach as the basis for the design and use of specially selected training materials, systematized in the form of a set of competencies and presented using distance learning forms, have been identified. Information and telecommunication technologies and Internet resources have been selected to organize remote post-training support, taking into account the individual learning path. Conclusion. The results led to the conclusion that the effectiveness of the proposed approaches to the selection, design and use of a system of training materials allows us to take into account the following aspects: accounting for training parameters, level of development, level of competency, level of motivation. The proposed model of distance post-training support for students on the example of the discipline “Information Technologies in the Management of the Educational Process”, based on the use of a structural approach, containing a specially designed system of electronic training materials, has made it possible to increase the effectiveness of training for undergraduates and to build an individual training route.

II Международный конгресс ЮНЕСКО «Образование и информатика» (1996) и «Окинавская хартия Глобального информационного общества» (2000) объявили информационные технологии стратегическим ресурсом в образовании. Революционные воздействия этих документов напрямую относились к жизни людей, их образованию и работе. И вот сейчас в 2021 году актуализировалась потребность использования информационных технологий в образовании для содействия и помощи студентам шире использовать свой потенциал и реализовывать свои устремления в эпоху пандемии COVID-19. В связи с этим для укрепления студенческого потенциала необходимо уделять особое внимание высшему образованию и одновременно расширять возможность пожизненного обучения с упором на развитие навыков использования информационных технологий через систему дистанционных образовательных технологий. Информационные технологии обучения – это совокупность электронных средств компьютера, компьютерных сетей, компьютерных телекоммуникаций, других средств связи и способов их функционирования, используемых для реализации образовательного процесса. Все эти средства должны эффективно работать не только для непосредственной информатизации учебного процесса, но и для информатизации всего комплекса процессов, характерных для системы высшего образования. Помимо расширения традиционной технической помощи для эффективного функционирования дистанционного обучения, необходимо содействовать подготовке специалистов в сфере информационных технологий и разрабатывать инновационные подходы. В статье анализируются проблема применения дистанционных образовательных технологий в системе высшего образования России. Авторы рассматривают информатизацию высшего образования с его достоинствами и недостатками с учетом собственного опыта преподавания, а также ставят вопрос о необходимости развития дистанционного обучения, повышения его эффективности и дальнейших перспективах. The II UNESCO International Congress "Education and Informatics" (1996) and the Okinawa Charter of the Global Information Society (2000) declared information technology a strategic resource in education. The revolutionary effects of these documents directly related to people's lives, their education and work. And now, in 2021, the need to use information technologies in education has become more urgent to promote and help students use their potential more widely and realize their aspirations in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, in order to strengthen student potential, it is necessary to pay special attention to higher education and at the same time expand the possibility of lifelong learning with an emphasis on the development of information technology skills through a system of distance learning technologies. Information technologies of education is a set of electronic computer tools, computer networks, computer telecommunications, other means of communication and ways of their functioning used for the implementation of the educational process. All these tools should work effectively not only for the direct informatization of the educational process, but also for the informatization of the entire complex of processes characteristic of the higher education system. In addition to expanding traditional technical assistance for the effective functioning of distance learning, it is necessary to promote the training of specialists in the field of information technology and develop innovative approaches. The article analyzes the problem of the use of distance learning technologies in the higher education system of Russia. The authors consider the informatization of higher education with its advantages and disadvantages, taking into account their own teaching experience, and also raise the question of the need to develop distance learning, improve its effectiveness and future prospects.

Purpose of the study. Studying the regional experience of using online educational platforms during the period of distance learning for schoolchildren and identifying the features of new realities on the formation of human capital.Materials and methods. Assessment of the organization of the distance learning process in the municipalities of the Republic of Karelia, Petrozavodsk and Kostomuksha urban district during the first and second waves of transition to distance learning for schoolchildren. A survey was conducted at the end of each period among teachers, children and parents on the organization and implementation of the learning process.Results. A study of the results of an online survey of teachers in the Republic of Karelia revealed a number of features and difficulties in the introduction of distance learning technologies for schoolchildren in the new realities of an isolated educational process: the level of proficiency in distance learning technologies at the beginning of the Covid-2019 pandemic among teachers in Karelia was quite high - 68.3%, 72.8% of them had the experience of independent study of forms and technologies of distance learning, 27.9% of the interviewed teachers completed advanced training courses. Of the large number of educational platforms operating within the framework of providing online access to teaching and testing resources, teachers are most often used in their work: Uchi.ru, Yaklass.ru, Google class, Russian electronic school. Only 4.5% of the respondents admit that they did not teach online lessons, including due to the lack of Internet in their settlement.Based on the results of the questionnaire survey among parents, new risks in the development of the education system emerged, and the identified trends make us think about what can be changed and done now so that the education of children during distance learning would be a joy for children, parents and teachers.Conclusions. Evaluating the experience of using online education in Russian schools during the massive transition to distance learning, one can note both objective difficulties and problems in organizing the educational process in distance mode, and positive effects that involuntarily manifested themselves in the development of specific narrow skills of digital literacy among the population, acquaintance with new programs and digital tools, mentoring among the participants in relations, exchange of effective practices and experience.Nevertheless, almost all studies note that general education schools and teachers, in general, who had practically no experience of online learning before the massive transition to distance learning, were able to quickly navigate the new situation and master new forms of communication with students. At the same time, a positive synergistic effect was the formation of the skill of productive communication between children and adults, interaction and mutual assistance in the process of mastering ICT technologies.
