ABSTRACT
The impetus and innovative idea for research was the rapid transformational changes in society. These changes were expressed in the experimental search activities of the development in education and other social and humanitarian sciences, which are now taking place in the world in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and the maximum distanceization of processes, including educational ones. The authors concluded that these changes concern: teaching methods, organization and management of educational processes. In practical teaching, the authors noticed the peculiarities of soft competencies formation in distance learning. Unlike knowledge, soft competencies are formed in social interaction. It is completely different in content and forms of construction in online education than in the offline one. These changes in educational transformations and management of educational processes take place due to fundamental transformations under the influence of: scientific and technological progress, global security challenges, wide access to information, significant part of life virtualization, restructuring of the axis of the teaching paradigm, etc. The main idea of the article is focused on changes of soft competencies formation as they are understood in distance learning;also it was emphasized the changes, necessary for successful teachers' work management in this area. Research methods: general scientific (analysis, synthesis, collection of information, expert opinions, forecasting and modeling), special scientific (analysis of changes in law, recommended practices, observation, authors' own practice and fixation in changes in the educational results of their students).
ABSTRACT
Background: In order to fully understand the frontier hotspots and development trends of ideological and cultural psychology research in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. Subjects and methods: We used the software CiteSpace to analyze the literature on ideological and cultural psychology research from the core database in Web of Science under the COVID-19 context. Results: The country/institution visualization network graph includes 58 nodes and 85 connections;The visual network graph of the research institution includes 109 nodes and 61 connections;156 nodes and 552 connections are obtained, as shown in keyword co-occurrence graph and keyword cluster graph analysis;Keyword time-zone graph and keyword timeline graph are obtained. Conclusions: Relevant conclusions were drawn. First, the research on ideological and cultural psychology in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic began in 2020. The number of relevant literatures in 2021 has grown substantially. In 2022, the academic community still pays much attention to this field. Second, countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and China are at the forefront in terms of the number and influence of documents issued. Research institutions such as Duke Univ, Univ Gothenburg, and Univ British Columbia ranks top in terms of documents number issued. Third, the research literature in this field can be divided into 11 clusters with relatively concentrated themes. Fourth, after the research hotspots explosively increased in this field in 2021, there have been fewer new hotspots in 2022. Future hotspots are likely to emerge on the basis of conservatism-prejudice. The current shortcomings of this research field are also discussed in this paper, namely, lack of innovation and less generation of new research hotspots. The above conclusions comprehensively demonstrate the current situation and development trend of ideological and cultural psychology research in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic and provide a basis for further related research.
ABSTRACT
Due to the COVID-19, the Ministry of Education of China announced that the 2020 spring semester will be postponed, on-site classes should be cancelled and schools should give online classes instead. It's the first time that online classes have been given priority to higher education, which is a new challenge to both schools and online learning platforms. It's necessary to carry out stable and efficient IT solutions to secure the smooth process of online classes. This paper takes South China University of Technology as an example to put forward some IT solutions and ways of improving teaching quality of online classes for higher education during COVID-19 pandemic.
