ABSTRACT
The closure of schools and urgent importance of distance education during the Covid 19 pandemic revealed a necessity to find suitable teaching methods that would help to maintain the continuity level of educational system in case of different possible critical periods of society's survival, such as viral and bacterial pandemics, war, climate, meteorological and other disasters. In this context, the need for possibilities of distance-oriented further education of teachers has also emerged. Moreover, it was very important to create a great amount of suitable teaching materials. All mentioned facts require serious didactic research. In fact, it would also help to identify the positives and negatives of previous teaching methods applied in each individual school subject before the Covid 19 pandemic in Slovakia. During the Covid 19 pandemic, the authors of this paper have implemented a natural science-technologically oriented university course for future teachers in the period of Covid 19 pandemic. The research was conducted by method of pedagogical experiment. Paper consists of 9 chapters altogether, also including introduction, conclusion, acknowledgement, and bibliography. The first chapters are theoretical. They directly present the process of creating FVCOVIDE = Distance forms of education (during Covid 19 pandemic, having the character of experimental forms of teaching). Chapter 3 is of pedagogical experiment nature, applying the above-mentioned models into school practice. It also includes research hypotheses, statistical data processing and results interpretation © 2023, International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning.All Rights Reserved.
ABSTRACT
During the distance education process caused by COVID-19, students do not have sufficient opportunity to do pedagogical practice, which requires strengthening their practice-oriented component of learning in other forms. This article substantiates the relevance of quasi-professional educational environment in the system of professional training of future teachers, which implies the creating conditions at the university as close as possible to the realities of the teacher's work. The conditions which allowed to improve the graduates' readiness to do their professional duties were developed and experimentally proven. The peculiarities of quasi-professional tasks based on imitation of real work situations, where student has no rules or samples for the completing, are revealed. In this way, they independently develop possible models for their behavior in similar situations, based on theoretical and methodological knowledge and skills. The effectiveness of the author's system of quasi-professional tasks aimed at the development of students' pedagogical thinking and their mastery of the experience of modeling lessons is presented and examined. They are represented by three groups: didactic, methodological and technological, each of which has a specific purpose. It allows to cover all the spheres of professional development of higher education students: motivational, cognitive-operational and reflexive © 2023,Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education.
