Quarantine restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have also given impetus to using the benefits of digitalization to improve the education sector. The purpose of the article is to characterize the importance of information and communication technologies through the prism of the integration of national educational systems. The methodological basis of the study was a questionnaire survey of teachers of higher education institutions of Ukraine, the results of which were processed through the use of system analysis, prognostic method, and comparison. In the results, the general trends and foundations of the integration of national systems of higher education in the countries of the European Union were observed. The integrative potential of information and communication forms of educational organization in the modern world is also emphasized. It has been established that ICT contributes to the development of a number of directions and functions of education. In particular, they increase the accessibility of education, improve organizational and material, and technical support, and contribute to the emergence of new opportunities in the choice of a personally-oriented trajectory of education. The conclusions emphasize that, the absolute majority of teachers are convinced that ICT is a necessary condition for modern work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study focuses on global trends in the development of education, with a special emphasis on distance learning. The current state and prospects for the development of this form of education both abroad and in Ukraine are considered. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of key challenges and potential threats to the national interests of Ukraine in the context of the lag in the implementation and integration of distance learning. Special attention is paid to recommendations for the popularization of distance learning in Ukraine. Specific measures aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of distance education are proposed. This includes the development and implementation of the latest technological solutions, educational programs that meet international standards, as well as expanding the network of access to educational resources for all categories of the population. The study also includes an analysis of successful world practices in the field of distance education that can be adapted for the Ukrainian context. Studying the experience of other countries makes it possible to determine effective strategies and methods that will contribute to the development of the educational sphere in Ukraine, making it more competitive and modern.

Human beings begin their communication journey from the first moments of their lives. As soon as they are born, they express their emotions by shouting, crying and expressing themselves. These cries are not without meaning; they serve to communicate feelings such as pain, anger, fear, anxiety and even joy. It's difficult to distinguish precisely which emotion is at work; perhaps it's a mixture of all of them at the same time. For those around them, these first cries are the first "sign" that the newborn is alive. This is how the process of human communication begins. For almost a century, communication research has shown us that there is no such thing as clear, limpid and transparent communication. Believing this is a myth. Messages are often, if not always, confusing, obscure and ambiguous. The receiver interprets and decodes what they want, selects the data and the real challenges are often hidden. In short, communication, consciously or unconsciously, is omnipresent, but is it always perfect? No one can deny that communication before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is of equal magnitude. Its effect, as well as its importance, continues to affect and invade all sectors (companies, schools, personal relationships, professional relationships, etc.). Communication during the pandemic has been influenced by the need to transmit accurate and upto-date information about the pandemic, prevention measures and government guidelines. Governments, health organisations and the media have all played important roles in disseminating this information, often requiring rapid adaptations to meet the ever-changing needs of the population. In summary, communication before, after and during COVID-19 has been marked by significant changes in the way people and organisations communicate, with an increase in the use of distance communication technologies and a greater importance given to disseminating accurate and up-to-date information about the pandemic. Our research on communication is a field study carried out at INSEA in Rabat (National Institute of Statistics and Applied Economics). It was a three-year survey of 122 students on the ways in which students communicate their knowledge, skills and intentional behaviour in learning situations. In summary, our question addresses the modalities used before, during and after the COVID-19 crisis for successful pedagogical communication: How was pedagogical communication carried out? What are the most appropriate and effective communication modalities that motivate students? What strategies are adopted to keep students focused and attentive? What trends in pedagogical communication are we moving towards today and in the future? All these questions will be answered through systematic and participant observation (which involves immersion in the group being studied). The data is natural and rational (a behaviour determined in relation to aims and objectives). The students surveyed were recorded in situations of verbal interaction, questionnaires, direct interviews, online through Facebook and WhatsApp groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pandemic situation has forced teaching and learning practices around the world to reassess their systems and innovate in terms of ergonomics. Highly visible changes have overturned teaching and learning habits. Initially highly improvised, distance learning in Moroccan schools has taken its first steps through repeated trial and error until it has established itself as a possible educational tool. Teachers and decision-makers, in unison, are faced with the urgent need to reinvent education and combine it with technology. A plethora of formats and platforms are now part of the vocabulary of education. However, in addition to diligent health conditions, distance learning is required to break with the accidental nature of its advent and become an optional, alternative or even blended mode. This study looks at the forms of distance assessment that need to be implemented in order to capitalise on, verify and enhance learners' achievements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the acceleration of digitalization processes in the field of education. Specifically, the study examines the development and improvement of online learning formats during this period, highlighting both the advantages and disadvantages, as well as identifying the bottlenecks and challenges that emerged. The paper presents the results of a survey conducted among Bachelor's and Master's degree students at the Faculty of Distance Learning at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, categorized according to their areas of study, to determine the efficacy of remote learning processes and methods. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted to provide a more detailed analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of online learning, as well as potential solutions to improve remote learning processes. Overall, this paper offers valuable insights into the role of the pandemic as a catalyst for digital transformation in education, and provides recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of online learning.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of teachers in the modern educational process. To achieve this goal, a large-scale survey of teachers (N=419) and students (N=1372) was conducted in 2022 at Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Russia), one of the leading universities in Russia. The research provides insights into the transformation of teaching status and role. The function of transferring theoretical knowledge is gradually giving way to a more student-centered approach, characterized by an increased emphasis on mentoring. The study identifies both traditional and emerging roles performed by higher education teachers in the context of digitalization within the modern information society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the developed countries of the world, IC-competence of higher education teachers has reached a high level. However, the level of IC-competence of teachers to teach higher education applicants for less developed countries, including Ukraine, is not high enough. There are many obstacles to the realization of distance learning. Therefore, the purpose of the study was the experimental determination of the levels of IC-competence and attitude of teachers of Ukrainian higher education to the introduction of ICT in the process of distance learning of future psychologists of during the COVID-19, as well as the main obstacles to the implementation of this process from the standpoint of teachers. The study, which was conducted online during the COVID-19 pandemic, was attended by 147 teachers of higher education institutions from different regions of Ukraine (84 - at the beginning of the pandemic and 63 - 2 years from its beginning). The data obtained were analyzed with SPSS 20. It was found that within two years of distance learning, the number of teachers with high and medium levels of IC-competence increased and decreased with low ones. The number of teachers with a positive and negative and ambivalent attitude towards the use of ICT in training future psychologists increased statistically significantly. A strong and direct link between IC-competence levels and teachers' attitude to the use of ICT in the process of remote training of future psychologists is determined. From the standpoint of teachers, the main obstacles to the realization of distance learning of future psychologists are: lack of proper technical support, low level of IC-competence of teachers and students, unwillingness of teachers to use ICT, low level of cognitive activity of students. Teachers believe that to overcome these obstacles requires proper technical support, a high level of teachers' motivation and a separate quality online platform for higher education. Therefore, we can conclude that strategies and incentives to increase the level of IC-competence and motivation of teachers, as well as providing ICT institutions of higher education institutions.
