FEATURES OF E-LEARNING INSTITUTIONALIZATION IN UKRAINIAN HEIs IN THE CONTEXT OF A PANDEMIC: SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH RESULTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the key features of e-learning formation and development in the High School of Ukraine in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. Based on the study of legal documents ( Law of Ukraine "On Education", Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education") operating in Ukraine in the education field, the author defined key forms of education. It was found that there is terminological confusion in the definition and differentiation of the two concepts – distant and e-learning. Today in Ukraine, there is a hybridization of educational models and forms that leads to the dominance of a mixed form of education, which involves a combination of traditional (classroom) forms of organizing the educational process and a gradual transfer of educational activities to the virtual educational environment through the use of e-learning technologies. The article presents the sociological research results devoted to the study of the state and development of distance educational technologies in Ukraine. The research was conducted from June 2020 to April 2021 supported by the Council of Young Scientists at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and NGO "Innovation University". Interpretation of the research results allowed the possibility to identify opportunities, advantages and disadvantages of e-learning. Analysis of the survey results showed that educational process participants have differently assessed the changes that have overtaken them due to the spread of information and communication technologies. It was found that education applicants in contrast to the teaching staffprovide more support to the idea of e-learning active introduction and its technologies in the educational process. But most of them still believe that e-learning will only be an addition to traditional educational models. Thus, it was concluded that the process of developing e-learning and its technologies is long-term and requires solving many issues, but Ukrainian Higher Education Institutions are actively working on building a digital educational infrastructure and are ready to develop in the direction of digitalization and internationalization of education.
