ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THEORETICAL CONCEPTS OF FOREIGN AUTHORS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF DISTANCE FORMS FORMS OF EDUCATION IN GENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyse the approaches of the theoretical concepts implementation
of foreign authors for the distance learning organization in general secondary education of Ukraine.
During recent decades, foreign scholars have proposed many theories of distance learning, the content of
which have been influenced by society, politics, economics, and technology. Theoretical concepts diverge,
forming several directions. The main ones are: the theory of autonomy and independence, the theory of
industrialization of teaching, the theory of interaction and communication, the theory of distance learning.
Proponents of the theory of autonomy and independence insist on an autonomous, asynchronous principle
of distance learning, in which there is no dialogue between teacher and recipient of knowledge. One of
them is Charles A. Vedemeyer, the developer of the theory that became known as open and distance
education. The author of the theory of industrialization of learning O. Peters considers distance learning as
a product of the industrial age and, arguing that distance learning can not be analyzed in terms of
conventional didactics, defines another basis for analysis - comparison with industrial production. O. Peters
proposed the use of economic and industrial theory for the analysis of distance learning, gave educational
terminology an industrial definition. In contrast to O. Peters, proponents of the theory of interaction and
communication B. Holmberg, J. Beet, D. Sewart emphasized the importance of psychological, pedagogical
and information technology aspects in the process of teacher-student interaction during distance learning.
The article considers distance learning in general secondary education as a component of digital
transformation of education and summarizes the results of the analysis of approaches to the implementation
of theoretical concepts of foreign authors on the organization of distance learning in general secondary
education in Ukraine. The analysis of theoretical concepts and possibilities of realization in establishments
of general secondary education of Ukraine is carried out.
