Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of problems associated with using distance technologies in the higher education system. It deals with the necessity of taking into account the psychological component of pedagogical activity in organizing effective distance learning. Building a digital educational process is a complex task that requires scientific substantiation and a new psychological and pedagogical theory. The analysis of the literature studied made it possible to single out a number of problems: the problems of communicative interaction of subjects of educational relations, personal anxiety and unreadiness of teachers and students to work in new conditions, the importance of taking into account the values and attitudes that teachers and students possess. Special importance of motivation as a factor determining the student’s movement towards effective educational activity is emphasized. Students must be able to motivate themselves, be independent and take responsibility for their own learning. With the intensive development of information technologies, the range of competencies of participants in educational relations should expand, which will allow them to quickly adapt to the changing conditions of the digital world. The article presents the results of the analysis of modern-day research on digitalization in higher education. It explores some important psychological aspects of pedagogical activity in online learning such as the teacher’s readiness for distance learning; their desire and ability to transform the content of educational activities according to the specifics of the distance learning format; their awareness and acceptance of the benefits of online learning in higher education.
