Modernization of the educational process at the postgraduate stage using modern computer technologies is extremely urgent. The purpose of the study was to analyze the experience of distance learning of pharmacists-interns at the department of Organization and Economics of Pharmacy, drug technology and pharmacoeconomics and to substantiate promising directions for conducting distance education of pharmacists. Methods – questioning, interviewing of pharmacists-interns, questionnaire development. A special questionnaire has been developed and the method of individual questioning has explored the possibilities of distance learning of the pharmacist-interns at the postgraduate stage. The questionnaire included the passport part: the age, the form of training of the pharmacist-intern, the former place of work; A special part on the questions blocks under study. A survey was conducted of 128 pharmacists-interns: 72 full-time study form and 56 people of external study form. The questioning was conducted by each individual pharmacist individually, so it can be considered independent. As a result of the survey, we found out that about 61% of the pharmacists-interns do not have previous experience in distance learning. However, 81.5% are ready to independently study the topics of interest to them on pharmaceutical topics: New drugs registered in Ukraine, rational use of medicines, pharmaceutical care and assistance, etc. 67% of the surveyed pharmacists-interns believe that knowledge control is better done after the development/study of each topic, and 33% is better at the end of the study of the thematic cycle. The optimal ways of conducting distance learning are established: two-way on-line interaction, publications on the educational program website, two-way interactive video. At the Department of the Organization and Economics of Pharmacy, the Technology of Medicines and Pharmacoeconomics, experience has been accumulated and a system for studying pharmacoeconomics has been created and activities conducted by the Ukrainian Department of UCOPOR. Considerable attention is paid to the use of information and communication technologies from pharmacoeconomics for distance learning on the basis of the home site from pharmacoeconomics (www.uspor.org.ua), and 6 instructional modules on pharmacoeconomics developed by teachers in cooperation with international specialists are available on the international website ISPOR in Ukrainian. Prospective directions of the further development of postgraduate education, taking into account the results of questioning of pharmacists-interns can be the development of distance learning technologies, which will be actively introduced both in the preparation of the pharmacists-interns, and for the pharmacists-trainees of the training cycles, thematic improvement. It is established that more than 80% of pharmacists-interns are ready to independently study the topics of interest to them on pharmaceutical topics: New drugs registered in Ukraine, rational use of medicines, Pharmaceutical care and assistance, Pharmaceutical cosmetology and Pharmaceutical legislation To control and evaluate the self-mastered material, 67% of interrogated interveners interviewed believe that it is advisable to conduct it after processing / studying each topic. It has been established that the optimal methods for conducting distance learning are: two-way on-line interaction, publications on the educational program site and two-way interactive video. Teachers of the Department of the Organization and Economics of Pharmacy, drug technology and pharmacoeconomics have developed a special distance learning program with pharmacoeconomics based on international modules, which is designed to provide knowledge and skills on the methodology of pharmacoeconomic research.

In the context of digitalization of all spheres of everyday, industrial and public life, higher and secondary vocational education have the opportunity to move to a new level using modern information and communication technologies and involve the largest possible student audience into the learning process. Experience in the field of distance learning over the past decades shows that this form of educational process organization has a number of advantages over traditional forms of training. Among these advantages are democracy, lower cost of training, the opportunity to participate in the educational process in conditions of territorial separation, combining training with other types of activities, etc. At the same time, in the process of distance learning, the teacher and students also face a number of problems associated with the lack of the possibility of personal and emotional non-verbal contacts, when communication "person-person" is replaced by communication "person-computer". In the context of the forced transition of all higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation to distance learning due to a difficult epidemic situation, it became possible to assess the advantages and disadvantages of this form of training from the point of view of full-time students who had no previous experience of on-line education. A comparative analysis of the opinions of first-year students of the Ural State University of Economics and the college of this university shows that the respondents named the main advantages of distance learning a greater freedom in conducting classes in the absence of constant control and the possibility of combining education with other activities. The main disadvantages are the lack of feedback from the teacher due to distancing, as well as technical problems. The lack of emotional contact with educators was found to be a more serious problem for college students than for university students. It can be concluded that distance learning is more in line with the needs and capabilities of adult learners, and specific forms of organizing classes need to be adapted to the conditions of a specific audience.

The effectiveness of obtaining higher education is directly related not only to improving the learning process, but also to the quality of development of the student himself as an object of learning. This became especially evident during the transition to distance learning. Decrease in physical activity, lack of motivation to study and weakening of control on the part of the teacher, can lead to a decrease in students' professional and applied readiness. Therefore, the identification of the degree of psychophysical preparedness of future builders in different learning conditions will make it possible to create an electronic educational program that can improve the quality of the educational process and the level of development of the basic psychophysical qualities of future civil engineers.

Summary. Introduction. The article shows that hu-manity is experiencing a global crisis that affects and will probably affect not only our educational system, but also our economics, politics and culture. It is stressed that the education crisis arisen as a result of the unexpected chal-lengesmakes us review andrethink the methods and technologies of the educational process. In these condi-tions, in the society, there is a need to learn this changing reality creatively and flexibly, to rethink ideas and the acquired knowledge. The problem of technologization in the field of higher pedagogical education is shown to be associated with the extensive use of innovations including distance learning technology that increases the motivation of both a teacher and students. Distance learning provides new opportuni-ties for self-expression, encouraging students to work independently and forms an information culture in them, allows them to choose their own rhythm of life, creates the conditions of digital content for educational programmes.However, this learning technology requires more self-organization than traditional one. The purpose of the article is to analyze the organiza-tion of learning process in the conditions of digital content that allows students to learn theoretical material as inde-pendently as possibleand to leave contact time for the latest knowledge, practical tasks, laboratory workshops and subject discussions. The methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparison are used in the article. Results. It was investigated that along with the pro-fessional competence of a teacher, there is a creative one. This competence is characterized with an openness to innovations and new technologies at the professional level, flexibility and creative adaptability in the process of interaction with learning subjects. Creative learning activity is found to focus on the for-mation of a creative educational project by a studentbut the main focus of the creative activity is a creative per-sonality having the specific features, qualities and proper-ties. It has been found that teachers organize learning process with higher education students through the GoogleMeet, GoogleDuo, Zoom, JitsiMeet programs and other on-line platforms. In particular, this form of distance learning allows not only to conduct classes, but also to organize other educational activities.Originality. The article proves that the basic tools of individualized learning, laid in a relatively new direction, called “neuropedagogics”, which integrates neuroscience, psychology and pedagogy (didactics) and combines the scientific achievements of modern Brain Sciences. It has been proved that students’ individual work in the digital context regardless of their desire gets andragogic shade. There is a convergence of traditional methods of organiz-ing the educational process with andragogy, formal edu-cation with non-formal.In this context, students also acquire the skills of lifelong learning acting as an idea, principles of learning, quality of the educational process, the condition of formation and development of a man in the modern cultural and educational context.

The current state of the system of higher medical education is grounded on many factors including the growing volume of specialized information and the need to expand the level of students’ independent work as well as the conditions of certain restrictions independent of the educational system associated with quarantine measures, etc. This situation predetermines the model of blended learning and the search for both new and improvement of traditional methods and approaches for achieving a high-quality educational process, the purpose of which is to train a highly qualified future internship doctor. Relevant introduction of innovative methods along with the classic teaching “at the patient's bedside” both independently and together with the teacher is one of the motivating components for the student to master the discipline “Internal medicine”. There may be the following variants of interactive forms of learning: role play, work in small groups, case method, lesson-conference, creative tasks: thematic crosswords, quizzes; interactive video courses; methodology in the form “brainstorming”, “discussion”; research work), using different computer multimedia training programs, the department's website, electronic textbooks, online conferences, webinars and other high-tech tools. Of course, the model of distance learning introduced by higher education recently cannot replace traditional education, where the basic skills are formed in the field of practical improvement of the patient’s examination and treatment, but it can supplement it in the context of blended learning. In case of being properly applied and as a part of blended learning this model can really improve the interaction between a teacher and a student while preparing for the classroom lesson and during the student's independent work. In this case, the importance of independent theoretical training for a practical lesson becomes crucial with the growth of the motivational component in the conditions of organized interaction and control of academic performance making it possible to increase the volume of practical work with patients in the classroom. Conclusion. Using traditional, interactive and high-tech methods that complement each other in blended learning, the application of an integrated approach helps to improve the quality and effectiveness of education, expands the ability to form the experience of the student's creative and innovative activities which ultimately affects the future doctor’s competence
