TECHNOLOGIES OF BLENDED LEARNING AS AN INNOVATIVE FORM OF ORGANIZING THE PREPARATION OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF BIOLOGY AND BASICS OF HEALTH IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
SUMMARY:
The article updates the problem of introducing blended learning in higher education institutions during the quarantine period caused by the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus infection and the introduction of martial law. The essence of the concept of “blended learning” is revealed based on the views of various scientists, it is clarified that there is no single vision, because it is considered as a teaching system, model, method, a mixture of methods and strategies of learning, a form of learning, a program, etc. Considered the possibilities of introducing blended learning in higher education institutions with the aim of implementing a student-centered approach to the organization of the educational process and ensuring an individual educational trajectory for students. Educational platforms (Moodle, Google Classroom, Zoom, Prometheus, Ed-Era, iLearn, etc.) are proposed, the essence and stages of implementation of mixed learning technology (flipped class, web quest, educational project, coaching, case technology, working, etc.) are highlighted, which are implemented in the process of training future teachers of biology and human health at Hryhorii Skovoroda University in Pereiaslav. It has been experimentally proven that in the process of implementing blended learning there may be an objective need for some transformation of the lecture material due to an increase in time for the preparation and implementation of practical, laboratory, seminar classes and independent work using interactive educational technologies and group forms of work. It has been established that the use of mixed learning technology in the teaching of professional educational components in a higher education institution creates all the conditions for the implementation of the principles of individualization and differentiation of learning, develops the cognitive activity and creativity of students, and promotes a gradual transition from learning to selfeducation.
KEYWORDS:
blended learning technologies, educational platforms, future teachers of biology and basics of health, synchronicity, asynchrony.
