The results are to define the peculiarities of the influence of the quarantine on the arrangement of distance learning, the peculiarities of developing digital competence of teachers during the quarantine, their needs in education, the challenges in conducting mass distance learning, the determined complex of scientific approaches to developing digital competence. The practical significance of the research refers to developing three internship programs, based on the results of diagnosing teachers’ digital competence.

The relevance of the article relates to the need for continuing preschool education under quarantine conditions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by means of distance technologies and preparation of children for STEAM education. Artistic and productive activities are considered to be the resource of STEAM education. The aim of the article is to substantiate educational opportunities of distance education programs for undertaking artistic and productive activities of older preschool children on quarantine. Research methods: theoretical analysis, surveys, generalization of experience, analysis of children’s products, parental feedback. The scientific basis of the study is a set of approaches of different levels. Scientific novelty of the research is two-fold. The possibility of organizing artistic and productive activities of older preschool children by means of remote technologies in terms of preparing parents to interact with educators and organizational, technical, informational assistance to children. The features of the organization of such education in Ukraine under conditions of introducing quarantine measures are revealed. Practical significance is viewed through development and approbation of the content of classes on artistic and productive activities, integrated with the fundamentals of mathematics. There have been developed the questionnaires on digital competence for educators and digital literacy for parents.

The article is devoted to the issue of developing professional skills of teachers working in a situation of a conflict. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the theoretical foundations of the course and to develop the content of a new training program for Ukrainian teachers’ professional development. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the content of the teachers’ professional development training program, which is grounded on a set of scientific approaches of different levels: philosophic, general scientific, specifically scientific, pedagogical approaches. The importance of children’s security assurance and warranty of their right to education in conflict is under our special consideration. The content of the program includes the following modules: 1) “Children’s problems caused by the armed conflict”; 2) “Education in conflict: the essence, standards (on the UNISEF and UNESCO information)”; 3) “Ways of implementation education in conflict in Ukraine”.
