Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the features of distance learning in primary school under martial law. Primary school is the basic unit of the educational system, because it is designed to build a foundation for the formation of the student’s personality as a future competitive, highly educated specialist and citizen. In the conditions of quarantine restrictions and martial law on the territory of Ukraine the process of education of younger schoolchildren was influenced by many diverse factors, as a result of which it acquired new conceptual features. An important role began to be played by distance education as an effective alternative to traditional face-to-face education. This led to an increase in the number of scientific studies and practice-oriented explorations in the field of distance and blended learning, in particular in elementary school. In the course of the study, foreign and Ukrainian works were analyzed, in which the issue of the organization of the educational process during martial law was raised, the impact of military operations on various spheres of the personality of a junior high school student was described: mental, cognitive, motivational, physical, etc. The experience of countries that had to face the problems of providing education during wars and armed conflicts is considered. The importance of education for the development and preservation of the mental health of the young generation, as the future working population of the country, is justified, the features of distance learning in the conditions of martial law are distinguished and characterized in the following categories: psychological, adaptive, motivational, logistical, pedagogical, ethical, social economical, health-preserving, safe, communicative. Recommendations for elementary school teachers regarding work with students have been formulated, aimed at mitigating the impact of military realities on the mental and physical condition of students
