Distance learning (DL) is a completely new and unique form of education, which got forced to switch to by the current pandemic of coronavirus disease. Note that until now, distance learning technologies have been used at the department of general and clinical pathological physiology and some other departments of the Odessa National Medical University (ONMedU). The aim of this analytical article is to analyze the efficacy of ONMedU General and Clinical Pathological Physiology Department staff during the one and a half year period of the coronavirus infection pandemic with an accent to psychological approach to students modified teaching. The urgent need of time and the primary desire to protect students and their own lives during 2020-2021 requires us to improve our own pedagogical approaches in the further on-line teaching of students. We see success in systematic methodological work with students, the implementation of which will make it possible to evoke and increase their motivation to study histology. The importance of this methodological technique, supported in the senior years of medical universities by the integration of teaching theoretical and clinical disciplines, the approximation of teaching to specific clinical cases will help optimize the assimilation of morphological knowledge by students at least and, undoubtedly, in the near future will lead to a better assimilation of clinical disciplines. In connection with the ideas of individualized and developmental learning, the use of psychological capabilities of learning tools in the virtual environment brings both pedagogy and psychology to a new level of understanding the mediation of mental, creative, communicative and executive learning and learning activities. The use of distance learning helps the students to acquire skills of independent work, creates comfortable conditions for creativity, increases the creative and intellectual potential of the student through self-organization, the ability to interact with computer technology and make responsible decisions, creates favorable conditions for individual creative expression in the process of learning, for the development of the student's personality. The authors are convinced that the optimization and improvement of the educational process in medical universities is to draw students' attention to the problems that the medical community is dealing with on a daily basis today.

Because of COVID-19 spreading since March 2020, European countries began to introduce quarantine measures that inevitably led to the closure of all educational institutions. In the context of globalization and the development of the Internet, opportunities for lifelong education and self-education have appeared and are rapidly evolving. In particular, distance learning is available for a large audience including self-education-oriented learners and teachers, as well as can improve the qualification levels of specialists. The learners can reside in different geographic regions, represent different ethnic groups and cultures, but they are all united by one desire to update and expand their knowledge, improve practical skills. Most of medical universities in Ukraine had to modify their courses for distance learning format in a short time. The readiness for this process was different for each university: both purely technical problems arose, mainly due to the lack of the Internet in rural areas, out-of-date computers, no specially prepared educational and methodological materials and guidance on the one hand, and difficulties associated with no experience in organizing this form of education, on the other. To conduct all forms of training at the Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University in quarantine restrictions, various interactive teaching techniques were chosen in the form of videoconferences, organized by using the corporate Microsoft Teams platform. This teamwork centre brings together chat, appointments, notes and attachments in its workspace. This teamwork platform brings together chat, appointments, notes and attachments in its workspace. On this platform, in the form of webinars, the heads of the information department of the University conducted training for educators sharing practical recommendations for organizing distance learning. Scientific and pedagogical staff of the Department of Histology, Cytology and Embryology managed effectively enough to adapt educational distance learning technologies for the study and knowledge of the students of the microscopic and ultramicroscopic structure of the structures of the human body, its development and changes in the different conditions to develop and boost their general and professional medical competence. Distance learning can be considered a very promising form of organizing the educational process in the context of life-long learning. In the medical field, due to the large number of practical skills at the undergraduate stage and the complexity of their development remotely, the maximum effectiveness of this form of education is currently presented when receiving correspondence pharmaceutical education and postgraduate advanced training of doctors.

Образовательными ресурсами дистанционного обучения стали дистанционные курсы, виртуальные лабораторные работы, тестовые задания, учебные и методические материалы, веб-ресурсы, терминологические словари. Дистанционное обучение имеет свои преимущества и свои специфические изъяны. Необходимость сохранения непрерывности обучения, обеспечение эффективности усвоения учебной программы обусловило необходимость скорой перестройки методики преподавания, внедрения современных инновационных информационно-коммуникационных технологий. The relevance of the study lies in the analysis of the role of interactive methods, namely, distance learning in teaching surgical disciplines at a medical university in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. We studied the use of distance learning technologies in teaching surgical disciplines in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. The research material was the information platforms Zoom and Microsoft Teams, the work program of the discipline modified for on-line training, educational and methodological recommendations of the department in the study of surgical disciplines on-line, data from a survey of students regarding the perception of new teaching methods and their effectiveness. The research methods were webinars, video conferences, chat and ICQ, forums, etc. Quarantine measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic forced educational institutions to switch to distance learning and became a real challenge for the entire Russian education in its organization. Distance learning educational resources have become distance courses, virtual laboratory work, test tasks, educational and methodological materials, web resources, terminological dictionaries. Distance learning has its advantages and its specific flaws. The need to preserve the continuity of learning, ensuring the effectiveness of the assimilation of the curriculum necessitated the rapid restructuring of teaching methods, the introduction of modern innovative information and communication technologies. The purpose of the study: to analyze the use of distance learning technologies in teaching surgical disciplines in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.

This article proposes an expert vision of the problems of applying 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 scientific research devoted to the subject analysis of the integration of CLIL learning and distance learning technologies and related problems. Diagnostics of the existing problems was carried out through an online survey of school teachers and university professors who have experience in using CLIL technology in distance learning. For example, the results of the survey have made it possible to identify an expert opinion on the compatibility of the two teaching technologies, to formulate the main problems and differentiate them in terms of school and university practice. Moreover, the analysis has established relationship problems identified with the history of the modernization of secondary and higher education, and pandemic circumstances of 2020. This also explains different level of CLIL preparedness of school teachers and university professors for the independent development of electronic content, the search for a finished educational product, and the use of educational platforms. In this context, the need for CLIL modern teachers’ training programs and effective mechanisms for their academic support is indicated. Based on the survey results, it was concluded that CLIL distance learning is viable in school and university practice. The integration of the two technologies creates an effective tool to promote the empowerment of CLIL, the development of a virtual learning environment, andemergence of a distance format of students’academic mobility. These results can be significant as a basis for making tactical decisions on the development of the resource and methodological base of CLIL distance learning in the system of secondary and higher education

The aim of the study was to assess the readiness of students of a medical university to use distance learning technologies. For this, the staff of the Department of Hygiene of the Pediatric Faculty of the Russian National Research Medical University named after V.I. N.I. Pirogov, questionnaires were developed and distributed through an online service. The study involved 508 people studying at the Russian National Research Medical University named after V.I. N.I. Pirogov and FSBEI HE SSMU. Statistical processing was carried out using Statistica 13.0. 45% of the respondents rated their skill in using electronic devices as “high” and 53% as “basic”. 17.0% of students noted that they experienced a state of stress. Possible causes of stress reactions could be the following facts: 22.0% of respondents worsened interpersonal relationships between fellow students, 23.4% worsened relations with teachers, 13.0% noted a deterioration in health. As a form of quality control of knowledge assimilation, the most widespread (in 91.9% of cases) was the online test control, which in 41.5% of cases was supplemented by an oral interview with a teacher. 74.4% of the respondents were satisfied with the form of knowledge control. The respondents rated the work of the teaching staff at 3.9 ± 0.04 out of 5 possible, the total number of negative assessments was 30.0%. The high readiness of students of a medical university to use distance learning technologies is shown. Careful attention should be paid to identifying persons who have difficulties in adapting to the use of distance learning technologies and work on the formation of health-related competencies in students, which they can implement both in full-time and distance learning.

The paper has a two-fold purpose. The first purpose of the research is to clarify the concept of “readiness of teachers of higher education institutions to use distance learning technologies”, to determine the components and indicators of teachers’ readiness to use distance learning technologies. The other purpose is to announce the results of the conducted online survey on teachers’ readiness for distance learning; understand how distance learning methods are being implemented, which need to be modified or improved, establish the depth of complications associated with transitioning to online teaching due to the introduction of COVID-19 quarantine and provide the information to stakeholders to further improve the process of distance learning. The article is based on the survey of scientific literature on teachers’ readiness/preparedness to distance education and results of the authors’ COVID-19 Teachers’ Questionnaire with 485 faculty members of major higher education institutions of Cherkasy region (Ukraine). The author proves that the effectiveness of distance learning depends on subjective (teachers’ and students’ preparedness for distance education) and objective factors (material and technical base of higher education institutions). Components of teacher’s readiness for distance learning and their indicators are summarized: motivational, cognitive, operational, technological, creative, personal. The outcomes of the questionnaire have identified that most respondents lack theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for the implementation of distance learning and encounter difficulties in teaching during quarantine.
