The aim of the research is to assess the learning process during a pandemic, provide feedback on this issue and promote a deeper understanding of the importance of the results of a Blended Learning Course project. This result clearly shows that effectiveness and satisfaction play an important role in involving students in this format of learning. It is obvious that the possibilities of self/ autonomous learning in BLC are significantly expanded. In general, it can be seen that the use of innovative and traditional forms of education makes it possible to obtain a much better result in the training of specialists. The experience of Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University in the implementation of blended learning shows that the integration of the traditional education system with e-learning is the most effective. The strategic plan for the development of the Pedagogical University for 2022 provides for the solution of a number of tasks that are directly related to the intensification of the use of digital technologies in the educational process.

In this article, the process of linguistic faculty students teaching using innovative digital technologies is investigated in the focus of a synergetic approach. This problem is very relevant today, since the issue of preserving the quality of knowledge when implementing intensive electronic methods of mastering communication skills in a foreign language does not lose its actuality. Synergetics as the science of complex systems is now recognized as a new scientific paradigm in the study of various objects and processes. The authors focus on the features of the synergetic approach to the education process. From the point of view of synergetics, the authors consider the process of teaching foreign languages as a holistic dynamic system capable of self-organization and self-development. E-learning courses, which have become particularly popular in modern conditions, are considered as an integral part of the educational system. We are talking about self-organization of both the educational process and its structure, which is a means of optimizing students’ learning, and activating students in order to ensure a high-quality learning process. The role of the teacher and psychological and pedagogical support of students in the learning process is emphasized. The authors note that the synergetic interpretation of the psychological and pedagogical approach to teaching students the basics of language based on digital technologies contributes to the personal growth of students and the development of a holistic dynamic system.

The need in combination of digital technologies and traditional training techniques for ensuring effective learning process in education has becoming particularly relevant in the context of dynamic changes and community digitalization. Such an educational technology that combine digital technologies and traditional training techniques and provide educational environment for active learning is blended learning. One of criteria which influence the providing of an effective blended learning environment is evaluation. The purpose of this article is to analyse the main criteria and a number of frameworks for evaluating blended learning effectiveness, of the educational process in particular, which combines traditional (face-to-face) educational process, distance learning technologies and some elements of the web-based learning. According to the purpose, the tasks have been assigned and fulfilled as follows: we have examined the role of evaluating blended learning in educational institutions to determine the effectiveness of this learning technology, we have identified the major problems that need to be solved, we have scaled positive practices of blended learning to improve teaching and learning. The outlined models and criteria for the evaluation of blended learning effectiveness are specified in this article. The authors represent the objective and structured characteristics which are used for measuring the blended learning course effectiveness as well as for improving the educational programs and teaching / learning process in educational institutions in order to engage students, improve their learning outcome and achieve the course’s learning objectives. The authors also have formulated and substantiated the definition of the blended learning effectiveness as a complex process, which involves comprehensive analysis of a number of criteria: the combination of the data regulating the course outcomes, the measures determining the learners’ satisfaction with their results, the learners’ engagement into the educational environment and evaluation of their theoretical and practical skills.

Theoretical Issues

The article is devoted to the opportunities of blended learning, which is used in teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties at Baikal State University. Since recently, the education system has been undergoing significant changes in terms of educational process organization. This is primarily due to global digitalization processes, as well as the forced move to blended or mixed forms of work during the pandemic. The authors of the article suggest using the term blended learning, since such terms as full-time learning, part-time learning do not reflect the whole essence of work in teaching a foreign language. The relevance of using a blended learning is determined by the taught discipline itself - a foreign language, since it is impossible to form the necessary skills and competencies only within the framework of classroom hours. A foreign language instructor has always used a mixed type of work, which has grown into a modified form today. The article analyzes some theoretical issues and provides an overview of blended learning practice. It is also describes the advantages of using this form in the educational process in general and in teaching foreign languages, in particular. In conclusion, the authors point out the necessity of using this form of work in teaching foreign languages.

The purpose of this research is to study the teaching staff opinion on the use of digital technologies in the process of teaching foreign languages at a technical university. In the context of education transformation the question of finding and applying new interactive learning technologies becomes especially relevant. The teachers of Foreign Languages Department at Rostov State University pay great attention to this problem. The use of modern mobile applications in foreign language classes for teaching various types of speech activity shows positive results. In particular, the Mind Maps technology has been tested by us in class while teaching lexical topics corresponding to the steering documents of specialties. Its use in the educational process facilitates the perception and memorization of lexical material by students, promotes the development of speech skills, and makes the learning process exciting. It was found that in the course of working on the creation of Mind Maps, students with a high level of digital skills are more successful in overcoming the language barrier, striving to expand the scope and diversify the structure of Mind Maps. The results of a survey of teachers on the effectiveness of using this method in teaching foreign languages as well as the readiness to use digital techniques while working with students are presented. The positive and negative aspects of introducing digital methods into the educational process, the interest of senior teachers to use modern technologies and their active integration into the learning process are revealed. The results can be applied by university professors and school teachers in the process of teaching foreign languages and other courses. The research methods were the method of static description of the material, polling, analysis, comparison and generalization of scientific information.

The unprecedented situation of the COVID-19 pandemic has generated radical transformations of the Romanian education system, forcing teachers as well as students to adapt in a short time to new social conditions and to the online learning process. The paper analyzes the sustainability of the e-learning system implemented in Romania during the pandemic, and it is based on an opinion poll based on a questionnaire developed on three levels of schooling (middle school, high school, and university), analyzed from three perspectives, teachers–students–parents, and identifying the possible psychological effects on students, resulting from the corroboration of social isolation with the online continuation of the educational process. Although before the pandemic the e-learning system was rarely used by both students and teachers, the research results indicate that students have accepted online learning, even if they find it less attractive than the traditional education system. From the teacher–student–parent perspective, e-learning is an effective sustainable learning solution in current and future conditions, but it requires good collaboration between parents and teachers, careful monitoring of children’s/students’ behavior to identify and combat possible effects determined by the changing way of learning and of social realities.

Abstract; Writing this article aims to analyze in a literature review the importance of combined learning or blended learning using synchronous and asynchronous strategies as a means of optimizing the learning process in the current Covid 19 pandemic era. In this article, there are four steps taken to analyze the data, namely determining the theme to be reviewed, selecting and selecting articles according to the theme, reviewing and synthesizing literature and compiling it into a writing. The results of the literature review show that the optimization of the learning process in the current Covid 19 and New Normal pandemic era will be effective and efficient by using the blended learning method where the learning process combines the two existing strategies in blended learning, namely synchronous and asynchronous strategies. Synchronous itself is a virtual face-to-face between teachers and students at the same time but in different places using video conferencing, google meet and so on, while asynchronous is that the educational process or deepening of material can be done at any time without being limited by time so that it can use technology. communication that is developing a lot today, for example with e learning, Google classrooms, moodle and so on. so that the combination of synchronous and asynchronous strategies in online learning is expected to produce better learning products as one of the principles of online learning itself is independence, Where online learning does not mean not accompanying the learning process but instead must always direct students whenever and wherever.

Distance Education System

Purpose of research.Today, one of the main tasks of distance education is a personification of learning, taking into account the mental and physical states of students. Therefore, the purpose of research, conducted by the Institute of Distance and Additional Professional Education of Ulyanovsk State Technical University is to develop a model of a regional distance education system for persons with disabilities based on an inclusive paradigm. One of the model’s components is the organization of training methods, the identification of which was the original purpose of the study, the intermediate result of which is described in the proposed paper.Materials and methods.In order to achieve the purpose of the research, we use a systematic approach, since the inclusive regional distance education system for persons with disabilities is a part of the social system with its structure, characteristics, principles, and laws of development, and a subject-subject approach based on the idea of the individual’s subject activity in his/her life processes.The paper provides a brief retrospective analysis of the distance education development in Russia and abroad. The foreign authors’ works in the field of distance education (D.R. Garrison, B. Holmberg, M. Jeffries, D. Keegan, O. Peters) belong to an earlier period and serve as a starting point for Russian scientists A. Andreev, E. Polat, V.Soldatkin, V. Tikhomirov, S. Shchennikov.A number of well-established classifications of training methods are given and the thesis is suggested that technological innovations lead to a significant expansion of pedagogical methods and techniques, pedagogical innovations that affect the nature of distance education activities for people with disabilities.Results.The result of the first stage of our research work is the propose and description of the author’s methods of organizing the education for children with disabilities: the method of adaptive and expert borrowing, the method of variable and dual training, the method of evolutionary and expert development, and the method of inclusive group virtual learning. These methods expand pedagogicalknowledge. The authors validate feasibility of the possibility of borrowing the benefits of e-learning to study humanities, natural and technical sciences, and propose the tools that allow adapting training to the students’ characteristics, regardless of their physical disabilities. Since the introduction to various fields of activity is difficult for children with disabilities, a dual education system based on the interaction of vocational education institutions and enterprises may provide an opportunity to try themselves in different professions. A virtual company is proposed to be an “employer”.Conclusion.The project deliverable will be a model of an inclusive regional distance education system for children with disabilities, developing and supplementing the theoretical, methodological and technological foundations of e-learning. In the future, a set of conditions for the functioning and development of an inclusive regional distance education system for children with disabilities will be identified, causing the learning process in the system under study. This system is characterized by the use of distance learning technologies with adaptive and expert support of the educational process, borrowing the benefits of e-learning from various areas of knowledge, and defining organizational, technical and pedagogical support for the implementation of the learning process for persons with disabilities.

Based on the analysis of the existing practice of organizing the educational process in the higher education system, the article examines the features of its transformation and restructuring in the context of digitalization as a global trend in the development of all spheres of human activity. At the same time, it is noted that digitalization allows a new approach to achieving the planned educational results, to implementing the content of education, methods and organizational forms of educational work, as well as evaluating the results achieved. The article emphasizes that digitalization, on the one hand, provides increased openness, flexibility of education, and greater involvement of students in the educational process. It is also noted that the education digitalization allows you to design new educational situations, involve new actors in the learning process, while transforming the configuration of relations between its main participants. Digitalization makes significant changes in the role of the teacher and the student in the learning process, which requires appropriate adaptation. Special attention is paid to clarifying the main definitions related to the process of education digitalization and the implementation of e-learning. The main requirements for designing e-learning components such as video lectures, webinars, and e-courses are considered. The roles of the teacher that allow implementing e-learning in the higher education system are identified separately. In conclusion, it is noted that the digital transformation of higher education provides a new round of its development in modern conditions and is expressed in the formation of a new – mixed – learning model that allows building a higher education system at a qualitatively different level, in which educational results are formed in digital conditions with a rational combination of classical and innovative didactic solutions.
