Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Ukraine, as well as many other countries worldwide, has transferred the educational process online in order to minimize the spread of infection. This paper aims to analyze the perception of bachelor students majored in Chinese Philology towards such an urgent change in their educational process. As students are one of the key stakeholders of any learning process, it is extremely important to understand what they think about the effectiveness of distance education in the form of blended model. In particular, it is crucial to realize in which way such an urgent transfer has influenced the development of pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, typing, receptive (listening and reading) and productive (speaking and writing) skills. In order to fill the aforenoted gap, current research analyzed the data collected through an anonymous online questionnaire via Google Forms. The key participants are 40 BA students majored in Chinese Philology who study in two different institutions – Kyiv National Linguistic University (Kyiv, Ukraine) and International Humanitarian University (Odessa, Ukraine). As two institutions use different teaching methods, curriculum and tools, the students’ answers will be unbiased, which in turns contributes to the reliability of the results. The findings indicate that the traditional classroom has to transform and students are not afraid to meet the new blended educational model. The paper points to the fact that students as key stakeholders support the move towards global trends in modern educational technologies The majority of respondents believe that such a switch is at least the same effective for learning an eastern language as a traditional classroom. Students hope that in future, when COVID-19 pandemic will be finally defeated, they will still have opportunities for blended education, as it is convenient, productive and engaging trend. Moreover, the paper argues how students’ perception correlates with the previous researches and points to the gaps for future investigations. Keywords: distance education, blended learning model, traditional classroom, students’ perception, Chinese as a foreign language.

Global Trends

Distance education is essentially the basis for the development of educational institutions that provide innovative services, which cannot be obtained elsewhere. It is believed that distance education is a substitute for the traditional as part of simplifying and cheapening the learning process. At the same time, the leading global trends suggest the need for the development of elements of self-education and the expansion of the geographical nature of educational offers. The relevance of the study is that it is necessary to distinguish between the use of distance education methods in the traditional sphere and the sphere of training professionals. The paper presents the concept of the need to integrate elements of distance education in the process of preparing university teachers. The authors believe that teachers in drawing up courses and applying learning technologies use the same techniques as in distance learning. Therefore, the use of distance learning technologies can be shown as the basis for the development of advanced training programs and additional professional education. The authors proposed a study on the need and sufficiency of the use of distance education technologies and the possibilities for their integration into the process of postgraduate education. The practical significance of the work is determined by the fact that the possibilities of self-development of teachers are fully disclosed, not only as subjects of the educational process but also as subjects of training.

In the practice of a teacher-psychologist at the School of Distance Education, the game “Sign me up as an astronaut”, developed by the author, was tested, aimed at developing the skills of social and psychological interaction in younger adolescents with disabilities through the awareness and strengthening of personal resources by means of game psychocorrection. The specifics of the work of a psychologist at the School of Distance Education are determined by the following circumstances: - students have a severe disability and the corresponding psychophysical characteristics: instability of the emotional-volitional sphere, lack of motivation, severe physical and mental fatigue, low level of social skills, etc. - the use of distance educational technologies in psychocorrectional work; - lack of methodological recommendations for psychocorrectional work in conditions of distance technologies with school-age children. Such recommendations are available mainly for adults, they relate to the educational process, but they do not cover the correctional process. There is enough scientific and methodological literature on psychological and pedagogical correction, which is the basis for ensuring the work of a practicing psychologist, but there are difficulties in transferring these techniques, games, etc. - to the remote mode of correctional and developmental work, especially in the form of group work. During the game, various social and psychological situations are solved, which are selected strictly according to the characteristics of the social experience of the participants.

First Time

During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, Greek schools were closed, and for the first time in Greece, distance education has been implemented using mostly technological means. This work aims to capture the Greek pupils' perceptions and suggestions on the transition from a face-to-face educational process to a pure distance synchronous and asynchronous education implementation. Data have been collected by 41 pupils via an online questionnaire on a volunteer basis. The purpose of the questionnaire was to identify the pupils' learning challenges and unforeseen benefits connected to the offered distance education. The assessment revealed that the majority of the pupils, although they consider distance education as necessary and useful, do not want to replace the traditional means of education. The pupils suggested that the entire process should be stricter in terms of class schedule, assignment submission, and presence requirements and should be enhanced by incorporating better and more "vivid" e-teaching tools.

The article presents a study of the influence of the specifics of the formation of the motivational sphere of undergraduate students on their readiness and ability to perform their labor functions for obtaining a quality education. High-quality education is the basis for a decent life and sustainable personal and social development, which contributes to changing the labor market in all countries of the world, blurring the boundaries between the physical, digital, and psychological and biological spheres. The study of this topic is extremely important for Russia, which seeks to overcome the negative consequences on the labor market and lag behind global trends in development through the implementation of the strategy 2016-2030. As a result of the work, a cluster of pedagogical technologies “UnInd of motivations” was created, which has wide opportunities and allows to implement the educational process in a new way in the modern conditions of the university, namely: to create conditions for improving the training of a university student, increasing the motivation of learning by solving case problems of a practice-oriented nature, to create conditions for further self-improvement in the professional sphere.
