Abstract

In recent years, the popularity of distance learning has been growing. Especially this phenomenon took momentum after the onset of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The current life situation around the world forced to look and find other ways, forms and methods of organizing the educational process in general education schools. The authors, realizing the complexity of solving the issue, touched upon a very topical research topic. The purpose of this article is to study the features of the organization of distance education in rural and urban schools. They noted the prerequisites for the emergence of distance learning, revealed the concepts and models of distance learning that are currently accepted in our country and in the world. Distance learning is a special, perfect form that combines elements of full-time, part-time, part-time and evening learning based on new information technologies and multimedia systems; it is a new organization of the educational process based on the principle of independent study of educational material by students, under the guidance and supervision of a teacher. We presented the results of a survey and questionnaire survey of teachers, school parents, identified the pros and cons of introducing and implementing distance learning. Despite the popularity of using distance learning in general education schools, the issue requires additional and more meaningful study. There are no scientifically proven facts of the influence of distance learning on the quality of the knowledge gained, and their application in practice.
