ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN THE CONDITIONS OF CRISIS SITUATIONS AND MARITAL STATE IN THE ODESSA NATIONAL MARITIME UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The state of war in Ukraine and the previous coronavirus pandemic led to the need to pay a new attention to distance information technologies of learning and updating requirements in the higher education system. The modern information world requires educational and pedagogical workers to constantly raise their educational and professional level and to look for new approaches to learning. The article presents the results of the analysis of the use of information technologies (IT) in the organization of the educational process during crisis situations and problems of adaptation of students of all specialties to distance learning in these conditions. Advantages and disadvantages of distance education are studied and analyzed, as well as prospects for its development in modern realities are predicted. For distance learning, the basis is the student’s independent work. The organization of such work must be systematic and requires the provision of conditions for the students’ educational activity. These conditions are one of the indicators of the teacher’s work. These include: – external conditions: the place of study, the material and technical base, the relationship between the teacher and the student, the objectivity of the evaluation of the educational process; – internal conditions: positive motivation, abilities, skills, character traits and state of health of participants in the educational process. Based on the research analysis, it is proven that increasing the effectiveness of distance learning is possible only when using the latest information technologies, educational services and distance learning platforms that are used by higher education institutions today: ED-ERA, MOODLE, PADLET, MY CLASS, CLASSTIME, EQUITY MAPS, GOOGLE CLASSROOM, GOOGLE SITES, GOOGLE FORMS. Use of webinars, video clips, audio scripts, forums, charts, online testing, interactive tutorials and whiteboards. The authors, regularly conducting classes online, investigate the problem of students’ adaptation to distance learning conditions using remote conferencing services using Zoom cloud computing and the author’s content development of distance courses in the Moodle course management system, which is a free web application that provides the opportunity create sites for online learning. Data on the success of students in the period from 2020 to 2023 in both technical and humanitarian specialties of the first year of the Odessa National Maritime University, such as 133 «Mechanical engineering», 135 «Shipbuilding», 142 «Energy engineering», 271 «River and sea transport» were analyzed «, 141 «Electric power engineering, electrical engineering and electromechanics», 035 «Philology», 081 «Law», 053 «Psychology», 061 «Journalism» from the disciplines «Information technologies» and «Informatics». According to the results of the study, it was determined that during distance learning, most of the students acquired the skills of working with the provided educational resources, mastered the ability to work independently, and increased their level of knowledge. Based on the above, according to the authors, the biggest drawback is the lack of face-to-face communication with teachers, classmates and work in the classroom. Advantages include access to large electronic volumes of information and the ability to independently regulate the time, pace, volume and quality of learning material.
