| Summary: | The article addresses the relevant topic of emergency distance learning in Ukraine and worldwide during crises such as pandemics, military conflicts, and natural disasters. The aim is to explore and analyze the concepts of "distance education" and "emergency distance learning," focusing on their main characteristics, differences, and specific implementation features. The primary objectives of the article include examining scientific and practical approaches to the definitions and identifying key distinctions. The research methodology is based on a qualitative approach, employing literature review, content analysis, and case study methods.
An important aspect is the comprehensive comparative analysis of the interpretations of the terms, which allows for a deepening of the theoretical foundations. Emergency distance learning is characterized as a temporary, urgent transition from traditional forms of education to an online format in emergencies when educational institutions cannot provide the usual learning process.
Critical features of EDL are highlighted, such as the rapid implementation, limited time for preparation, and adaptation of educational programs and resources to new conditions. The article's authors highlight the differences between emergency distance learning and traditional distance education, which is usually planned and has a stable methodological basis. The article also discusses key challenges faced by educational institutions during the transition to EDL, including the technical and methodological unpreparedness of educators, the lack of necessary infrastructure, and limited access to the internet and digital resources in some regions.
The research findings demonstrate a significant impact of the pandemic and war on educational processes in Ukraine and worldwide. Emergency distance learning has become an important tool for supporting the educational system during the crisis; however, it has revealed several issues requiring further analysis and resolution. |
