Blended learning in the master’s program

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the usage of a mixed learning model with elements of project activity in the master’s program. Master’s programs are implemented at the State University of Humanities and technology from the 2018/2019 academic year at the faculty of biology and chemistry. The main idea of implementing blended learning is to improve the quality of the educational process and the practical application of learning outcomes in teaching activities. The students involved in are this program are all practical teachers and have real opportunities to implement the results of the educational process in school practice. Within the framework of the educational program, a system has been developed to such as extend that ensures the process of creating and implementing author’s projects in the educational space of the school. The undergraduates create their own projects and implement them in the school environment. The projects are the product of training, which gives the opportunity of the educational program.

Learning with the use of distance learning technologies or what digital tools should a teacher possess?

“…The problem of improving the educational process [11] in the context of the use of distance learning technologies is very acute [12]. To maximize efficiency, it is necessary to widely use digital tools [13,14] that allow you to optimize the management system of an educational organization [2] and significantly improve the quality of the educational process [15,16]. Scientists believe that the approach to digitalization of the educational process should be comprehensive [17], roadmaps should be developed and specific tools [18] for digitalization of the activities of educational organizations should be selected [19].…”

Innovative Master’s program “Digital Pedagogy”

“…When conducting sociological studies, it turned out that students are now more inclined to a mixed learning format [3]. Consequently, there is a problem of forming a system of mixed learning [9] with a wide use of digital tools, project activities [10] and interactive teaching methods [11]. Solving this problem requires a significant set of competencies from the teacher.…”
