The article presents the findings of large-scale sociological survey titled ‘Assessment of the distance learning mode in the self-isolation conditions by educators of Rostov Region.’ The survey reflects the opinion of 8,079 teachers, including 7,608 women and 470 men, who work in general education. The relevance of the study is significant given that the entire general education system of the Russian Federation was urgently transferred to the distance learning mode due to the rapid spread of novel coronavirus in first-half 2020. The respondents assessed their own technical and material conditions in which they carried out the educational activities. The survey included analyses of the financial capabilities necessary to ensure the educational process in distance learning from home and the state of health of teachers working in the distant mode. The presented findings indicate that the teaching community negatively assessed the transition. The health of teachers suffered due to long hours in front of the computer, the effectiveness of teaching decreased, and transferability of learning deteriorated due to deficiencies in technical equipment. The article draws a general conclusion that for the present distance education cannot be a full-fledged alternative to general education in its traditional form.

Today, the system of higher education around the world continues to take measures to effectively organize educational activities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. All METHODS OF TEACHING AT HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS Issue I (81), 2021 131 countries of the world had to face unexpected difficulties in connection with the introduction of self-isolation. The higher education system was "on the front lines" with a large number of people. The closure of higher education institutions and the emergency transition to distance learning have led to obvious problems, mainly due to insufficient technical equipment, lack or poor preparation of both teachers and students to work in the new environment. These and other problems pose another challenge to the higher education system in a critical situation. At the same time, along with the obvious challenges and problems, the new format of distance learning provides a wide range of opportunities and prospects for change and improvement of educational systems, for which the critical situation creates forced conditions. The article substantiates the importance of effective distance learning in higher education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and outlines the main problems of the individual in the relationship "teacher-student" in quarantine. The current stage of informatization of society cannot be imagined without the introduction of information and communication technologies in all parts of the education system, educational institutions and government. These technologies are especially relevant in quarantine, as they allow you to implement distance learning. It is also important that distance education expands and renews the role of the teacher, makes him a mentor-consultant who should coordinate the cognitive process, constantly improve the courses he teaches, and increase creativity and skills in accordance with innovations and innovations. During distance education, there is also a positive impact on higher education: increasing their creative and intellectual potential through self-organization, the desire for knowledge, the use of modern information and telecommunications technologies, the ability to make responsible decisions. The analysis of the research devoted to distance educational process, has allowed to reveal its other basic features, in particular: orientation on independent cognitive activity; significant potential opportunities for distance learning to intensify educational and cognitive activities; the possibility of organizing open learning, expanding the audience of consumers of educational services; integration of world educational services; reduction, under certain conditions, of material costs for the organization and implementation of the learning process.

The article focuses on the methodological aspects of organizing communication between participants in the educational process in the context of using distance technologies. The main forms of organizing educational activities in distance learning are considered, depending on the level of technical equipment of the educational organization, the availability of personal devices, communication facilities and communication software. The modern services for organizing the interactive interaction of subjects of the educational process are described, their functionality and features in organizing communication are highlighted, the advantages and disadvantages are revealed. The article touches on the organization of the pedagogical process online from the point of view of the teacher's readiness to use modern digital technologies and depending of the level of development of students' communicative skills. The article presents a block diagram of an online lesson with the organization of group work, designed in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Basic General Education from the position of systematizing the actions of the teacher and students. At each stage of the online lesson (organizational, motivational-target, design, organizational-activity, evaluative, reflexive-semantic), the tasks of educational activities and methods for organizing communication are highlighted. The preparatory work of a teacher for conducting an online lesson in distance learning mode is disclosed in detail and the features of interaction are described that allow the teacher to recognize the psychological readiness of students for learning. Online etiquette is designed to help learners build productive relationships with classmates. The use of verbal and non-verbal communication methods in an online lesson expands the opportunities for students to interact with each other and with the teacher. The proposed methodological approaches to the use of digital means make it possible to activate the activities of students in the process of distance learning and to develop communication skills in practice.

The article considers the concept of distance education and its impact on the psyche of students and teachers. The main ways of assessing the quality of distance education are outlined. The psychological and pedagogical features of the relationship between teacher and student in the educational and pedagogical process are revealed. The mechanisms of application of distance learning methods in higher school are analyzed. The positive and negative sides of distance learning are indicated. It was found that significant technical factors in reducing the success of student learning are technical and psychological unwillingness of teachers to work online. Peculiarities of pedagogical control over the efficiency of the educational process are revealed. It is established that distance learning has exacerbated a number of psychological problems, among which the key is the problem of emotional burnout. It is noted that the use of distance education has the advantage of removing psychological barriers to communication, blurs boundaries (the student can study regardless of place of residence). This technology of the educational process is invaluable in the period of quarantine restrictions, as it guarantees the absence of direct contact between people, allows active learning even during illness or self-isolation. It has been established that distance learning has exacerbated a number of psychological problems, not least the problem of emotional burnout. This phenomenon is observed in both students and teachers and manifests itself in a variety of negative physiological reactions of the body, namely: poor sleep, fatigue, drowsiness, psychosomatic diseases and destructive psychological conditions such as stress, bad mood, depression, apathy, high levels of neuroticism, emotional excitability, increased anxiety, fear, predominance of asthenic emotions, irritability. The reason for these reactions is the general negative situation in the country and in the world as a whole, in the forced self-isolation of man, as well as in the unusualness and maladaptation of teachers and students to distance learning conditions. It is pointed out that distance education today helps students to develop such qualities as independence, mobility and responsibility, develops skills of self-education, which is highly valued in the labor market. Unfortunately, distance education also has its downsides. For example, the lack of direct communication between students and teachers. In addition, distance education requires the student to have the necessary technical equipment for constant access to sources of information, as well as a very strong motivation to systematically study independently.

This article proposes a research vision of the problem of using CLIL training in the context of distance education in schools and universities of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of the research devoted to the content analysis of the integration of CLIL learning and distance learning technologies, as well as the need to identify the features and universal problems, characteristic of the practice of CLIL learning in distance learning format. The diagnosis of this problem was carried out through an online survey of school teachers and university teachers acting as experts on the implementation of CLIL training in educational institutions of the Republic. To develop a methodology and tools for online survey of teachers scientific works in the field of CLIL training and distance education technologies on the creation of educational resources and a virtual learning environment and on the sociology of education were studied. When processing the results of the survey, we used statistical and descriptive research methods. The results of the online survey confirmed the hypothesis of the study that the main problem of using CLIL technology is the problem of resource provision of the CLIL training program in the context of distance education, as well as the level of methodological and IT-training of school teachers and university teachers. Other features of using CLIL technology in a distance format are as follows: the school teachers and university teachers have an appropriate set of basic competencies of a teacher practicing CLIL training, and, at the same time, their insufficiency for the implementation of the educational process in the context of distance education and, accordingly, the need to acquire additional competencies required by the teacher for the application of CLIL technology in a distance format

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.
