Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify and compare the views of students of biological specialties regarding the organization of distance learning in difficult conditions (Covid-19 pandemic, martial law in Ukraine). Research methods are: theoretical (analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, etc.) with the aim of highlighting the use of distance learning in higher education, formulating the conclusions of the conducted research, etc.; empirical (electronic survey, pedagogical observation) - to develop questionnaire questions, identify students' views; mathematical - for processing the obtained results using the computer program IBM SPSS Statistics 23.

Research results: the calculation of the t-test (p≤0.05) for independent samples indicates the absence of a statistically significant difference in the case of comparing all groups of respondents/students: biological faculty/university for each survey year (2020-2022); biology faculty groups for adjacent survey years (2020-2021; 2021-2022) on the following indicators: satisfaction with distance learning (quality of Internet connection at home, quality of own technical support); use of Moodle e-learning before quarantine-2020; ease of registration in the Moodle system. Statistically significant differences of the t-test (p≤0.05) for certain groups of respondents are due to the following reasons in the use of Moodle (2020-2022): compared to the university, the faculty of biology has a significantly higher percentage of disciplines in Moodle, and biology students also show higher rates of willingness to learn in Moodle.

Re-testing helps improve student learning outcomes in Moodle. We showed the example of two academic disciplines (2022) the following: the average score for the best attempts increases compared to the first ones, namely: for bachelor and master students by almost 16% and 14% in the case of the training test, 4% and more than 3% in the modular control test.
