2023-03-02T09:12:41+02:00

The article contains the results of scientific research on the theoretical and methodological foundations of the use of digital technologies in the formation of environmental competence of applicants for education. The purpose of the study is to conduct an analysis of theoretical and methodological foundations of the use of digital technologies in the formation of environmental competence of applicants for education in order to create methodological recommendations for teachers to carry out distance and blended learning. Peculiarities of the use of digital technologies in the formation of environmental competence of applicants for education are analyzed (intensification of learning due to the use of attractive and rapidly changing forms of information presentation, promotion of learning individualization; interrelation of portions of information and tests; strict logical sequence, structural and logical schemes; doing tests and solving tasks; having several attempts, learning the material anew or reperforming tasks). Characteristics of online platforms for use in the process of forming environmental competence of applicants for education according to their features, advantages and disadvantages, including Google Apps Education Edition, Google Classroom, Google Meets, Teams, Moodle, Zoom, Classtools, LearningApps, Edmodo, etc., were studied. A method of using mobile applications with ecological content in the formation of environmental competence of applicants for education has been developed through the determination of ways of their integration into educational and cognitive activities, locations (autonomous work in the educational building or remotely); frequency of their application (a prepared educational course, a project with usage of mobile technologies or a one-time integration into an educational session in the process of exploring a certain topic); creation and use of existing mobile applications; use of personal mobile devices or devices of educational institutions.

2023-03-06T09:49:25+02:00

The article analyzes the results of a study that reveals characteristics of preschool children play activities in the conditions of the war in Ukraine, which were collected in two regions of the country significantly different in the scope of military operations carried out, life activities of the population (in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine and territories under Ukrainian control), as well as peculiarities of preschool education itself. The objectives of the research were: to find and highlight changes in the content, types and organizational forms of play activities of preschool children in the conditions of war based on the results of observations by preschool teachers; to identify the level of awareness of preschool teachers regarding play resources as an effective tool for psychosocial support of children in war conditions; to determine the need for preschool teachers to develop their skills in facilitating children's play activities in war conditions for the introduction of appropriate measures in the system of postgraduate pedagogical education; to approve a set of diagnostic tools for further research. The results of the research proved that: 1) the war in Ukraine significantly changed a nature of play activities of preschool children compared to the pre-war period, which is reflected in: the dominance of various plots of military actions in the content of a play, while children play new roles (of a positive nature – military, rescuers, firefighters, volunteers, doctors, construction workers, etc.), conditioned by the new military reality; children's active use of toy weapons and toy substitutes for modern weapons; increased time, spent on computer games, including war-themed games; reduced time, spent on play in general and free play in particular; refusal of children from noisy, active games in favor of quiet, quiet play alone; growing need of children for greater attention of adults during the play; emotional excitement of children, dominance of negative emotions in the play; increased weight of creative activities in children's daily routine, including play. The specified changes are found both in play activities of boys and girls of preschool age; 2) preschool teachers are aware of the importance of play for supporting the child's well-being in wartime conditions. They consider the level of their own knowledge and skills to support play activities of preschoolers to be insufficient, and so understand the urgent need for their additional training In-service Teacher Training institutions in the area of play facilitation

Distance learning technologies in a higher educational institution: experience in using and implementing e-learning courses in the educational process

2023-03-15T18:12:57+02:00

Distance learning technologies occupy a strong position in the higher education system: they can serve as an instrumental basis for organizing distance learning, they can be actively used in combination with traditional forms and methods of teaching, and they can be used to build networking between universities and employer organizations. There is much experience in using distance learning technologies by university teachers when working with students, which needs to be rethought.

The purpose of this study was to show how an educational platform, such as the S. Kuznets KNEU Personal Learning Systems, can be used to provide educational services in the face of unpredictable barriers in the current circumstances in Ukraine to substantiate the importance and feasibility of developing and implementing distance learning courses on this platform to increase the efficiency of distance learning.

The study reveals the importance of using distance learning technologies in the educational process. Distance learning offers many advantages, such as geographical diversity, efficiency, continuity, individual approach and personalized program. The article analyzes the experience of using distance learning technologies on the example of Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics. The existing difficulties of using distance learning technologies are specified. The algorithm for using the Moodle distance learning system as a tool environment for developing online courses by teachers, distinguished by its functionality, flexibility, reliability and ease of use, is prescribed.

However, Ukraine's education system must catch up with the fundamentals underlying distance learning courses. It is necessary to train highly qualified teaching staff capable of working with students remotely to ensure the effectiveness of distance learning, provide students with updated learning materials, and make courses comprehensive, engaging, and easy to understand. However, the prospects in this area of education in Ukraine are prominent
