The last decade has been marked by large-scale and rapid changes in education, taking place on the basis of modern infocommunication and digital technologies, new hardware and software, as well as teaching methods updated in accordance with this. The limited mobility of citizens due to the coronavirus pandemic further intensified these processes, when, even with a low readiness of educational institutions to switch to distance (electronic, remote) technologies, teachers and students had to quickly master these technologies and use them in practice. The resulting experience allows us to identify not only problematic, sometimes even negative, features of distance learning, but also to make sure of the undoubted advantages of these technologies. The article points out the need for a systematic analysis when deciding on the use of e-learning, taking into account both technical and methodological, as well as personnel readiness for the implementation of this technology.The article analyzes these problems using the example of teaching both technical and humanitarian disciplines. The experience of distance work is analyzed on the example of cooperation between the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (Russia) and the L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (Kazakhstan), which in its practical activities purposefully invites foreign professors to deliver lectures, guide undergraduates, etc., including those based on distance technology. The data of an anonymous questionnaire survey of students of these universities are given, allowing to assess the effectiveness of the decisions made, as well as to clarify the existing problems.

The modern information society formulates tasks for the education of professionals who are able to adapt quickly to life situations, acquire the necessary knowledge and apply them in practice without assistance. Problems with the provision of education, which arose during the establishment of quarantine and the introduction of enhanced anti-epidemic measures in areas with a high prevalence of acute respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, required in real life to find ways to solve them rationally, using modern technologies. The situation made teachers work with information properly, be communicative, work on the development of their own IT competence by themselves. The development of modern technologies has diversified the methods of communication between teachers and students. This article presents an analysis of the implementation of distance learning in the Zaporizhzhia region and focuses on the difficulties faced by teachers, students, their parents, and ways to reduce the problems of introducing distance learning environment in particular. Monitoring the activities of various participants in the educational process provides opportunities to systematize information and provide recommendations for overcoming such difficulties. The experience of 2020 and the results of the survey showed that there was almost no separate distance and e-learning. An online survey was conducted during March 2021 in order to determine the opinion of teachers in the Zaporozhzhia region on the organization of educational and cognitive activities of students in the form of distance learning. The effectiveness of distance learning in educational institutions of the Zaporozhzhia region depends on the technical support of the educational process, the skill of teachers involved in this process, the use of effective communication. Survey participants believe that teacher motivation has less impact on the effectiveness of distance learning than the motivation of the learner. According to many respondents, the schedule of lessons has not changed, but the usual schedule of life has changed dramatically. Many educators emphasize that they work at a computer for more than half a day. Analysis of statistical data and freely expressed opinions of teachers, participants of the survey, suggests that no effective solutions have been found for the organization of "distance" learning, but there are teachers who respond positively to the existing situation and are in innovative search.

Актуализация рефлексии опыта применения дистанционных технологий в подготовке педагога связана как с общим интересом к таким технологиям в педагогической науке последних лет, так и с необходимостью осмысления методических наработок, появившихся в условиях пандемии и временного перехода на полностью дистанционное обучение. Объектом анализа, проводимого на основе опыта Томского государственного педагогического университета, являются варианты применения различных форм и способов дистанционной работы с будущими педагогами. Материалом для анализа является опыт работы преподавателей и студентов в системах BigBlueButton и Moodle, полученный в течение 2020 г. Выявлены положительные результаты применения дистанционных образовательных технологий: повышение уровня подготовки будущего учителя в области информационных технологий; интенсификация работы обучающихся в связи с изменением форм контроля; освоение студентами новых форм и способов работы с историческими источниками и литературой. Показано, что дистанционное обучение может проводиться без снижения качества предметной подготовки. Вместе с тем дистанционные образовательные технологии имеют существенные недостатки, которые касаются проблем коммуникации педагога и аудитории. На данном этапе они не позволяют в полной мере развить у будущего педагога навыки публичного выступления, работы с большой аудиторией. Решение данной проблемы может являться предметом дальнейших дискуссий. Материалы статьи могут быть использованы в учебном процессе высших учебных заведений. The actualization of reflection on the experience of using distance technologies in teacher training is associated both with the general interest in such technologies in pedagogical science in recent years, and with the need to comprehend the methodological developments that have appeared in the context of a pandemic and the temporary transition to fully distance learning. The object of the analysis, based on the experience of Tomsk State Pedagogical University, is the options for using various forms and methods of remote work with future teachers. The material for the analysis is the experience of teachers and students in BigBlueButton and Moodle systems, obtained during 2020. The positive results of the use of distance educational technologies were revealed: an increase in the level of training of a future teacher in the field of information technology, an intensification of the work of students in connection with a change in the forms of control, the development of new forms and methods of work with historical sources and literature by new students. It is shown that distance learning can be carried out without reducing the quality of subject training. At the same time, distance educational technologies have significant drawbacks that relate to the problems of communication between the teacher and the audience. At this stage, they do not allow the future teacher to fully develop the skills of public speaking, working with a large audience. The solution to this problem may be the subject of further discussion. The materials of the article can be used in the educational process of higher educational institutions.
