60% of teachers surveyed by SIC socialization andpersonalization of children's education of the Federal Institute for the Development of Education of the RANEPA, they said that in their schools, before the establishment of quarantine measures, no one was engaged in distance learning (DO). So they simply do not have experience in teaching in this format.
The effectiveness of distance learning in many waysdue to the motivation of teachers to interact with children, to attract all available means of communication for these purposes. It turned out that as an optional condition, only 3% of teachers consider high motivation to interact with students. A significant part (60%) consider this condition necessary, and 37% - desirable.
However, a sufficiently large number of teachersnot convinced of the need for a high level of motivation. They, according to researchers, have a chance to form a certain risk group. This can be manifested, for example, in a formal approach to conducting distance learning, in skeleton searching for methods of enhancing the attention and interest of children.
Distance education.
Reality has broken through the cheerful reports about the digitalization of everything.
1- Platforms do not cope and hang
2– Internet speed in districts and settlements leaves much to be desired
3– it turned out that most teachers are retired and have little understanding of digitalization- Chippolino ☭ (@ Beria911) April 2, 2020
Thus, 8% of respondents believe that theirschools are not ready for distance education at all, and 51% of teachers are sure that their schools are not ready enough for online education. The remaining 41% of teachers say that schools are ready for distance learning, and the leadership has created all the conditions necessary for its organization.
The most popular among teachersUchi.ru, the Russian online platform for elementary school, uses - 37% of domestic teachers use this service. In second place in terms of frequency of use is Russian Electronic School — 26%. Yandex.Uchebnik have approximately the same rating and various services for creating online tests - 16%. In addition, teachers, as a rule, conduct classes at Yandex.Class and Zoom.
However, only 14% of teachers are convinced thatin a remote format, the content of the curriculum is assimilated by the students in full, and 6% believe that the programs are not mastered. Most teachers are inclined to the fact that they are not fully mastered.
Schoolchildren in Russia
Students also criticize the system en masseonline education practiced by Russian schools. Many also lack laptops and other technology for teaching, especially in families with multiple students who cannot be in their Zoom conferences on the same computer at the same time.
In addition, distance education is convenient only for residents of large cities where there is good Internet, while still not the entire territory of Russia is covered by accessible Internet.
So far, for 11th graders, distance education has become a nightmare. From 8 am to late evening lessons, lessons, lessons.

In an interview with Haytek, 14-year-old Masha B. from St. Petersburg said that usually in modern schoolchildren 3-4 lessons are allocated for a remote school on a weekday and 2 on Saturday. Teachers' homework is set in the same volume as usual - in some subjects up to 4 written pages are published. At the same time, it is necessary to take it on the day of the lesson, but, according to Masha, some teachers simply do not check such homework - they put a plus even if the children did not send anything.
After three weeks on distance learning II want to go to school. It’s much easier for me to run for 45 minutes than to sit for several hours trying to solve a physical education test. At least they explain something at school, and then they gave the assignment, if you want to, you don’t want to, but they came to him today for dinner. And if you send later, then you may not accept the job and put a deuce.

Schoolchildren, like teachers, faceproblems with access to various educational services. For example, many necessary links simply do not open, and students have to register on a huge number of sites to work on each subject, some of the resources begin to slow down, unable to cope with so many visitors.
We were asked by history to make a table. To make a table, you need to go to the site, ask the class teacher for a username and password, enter it and wait for the video from the site to load. After that, copy the task from the schedule, cut out the link to the table, and only then fill it out. In the first weeks, nothing was revealed at all and there weren’t some items on the schedule.

Gleb from Perm also told Hi-Tech thatI’m not delighted with distance education, especially since it is in this format that lessons are now being held, including for 11th graders who will soon take the Unified State Exam. On the one hand, he says, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the timing of the Unified State Exam being slightly delayed, but on the other hand, the quality of lessons via Zoom leaves much to be desired.
In addition, in Russia there is enoughA large number of schools in which students do not study online with teachers, but simply solve tests and take homework. However, there are no official statistics yet about exactly what size of Russian schools have switched to just such a format of education.
