Abstract
The relevance of this study is due to several factors. On the one hand, there is an active technical development of modern online education; on the other hand, there is a need that has developed due to the pandemic, which has forced many educational processes to go online. The year 2020 has seen a dramatic change in the work of university teachers, who have had to urgently integrate themselves into an online environment that is unfamiliar to many of them. Two years have passed, but online education is still relevant and in demand. What are the positive and negative aspects of teaching in an online environment? And how has the attitude towards online education changed over the past two years? We have tried to look at these issues from the perspective of teachers of higher educational institutions. The aim of our research is to analyze the current perception of online teaching in higher education. As a result of the sociological research conducted in 2020 and 2022 (using the online survey method), the peculiarities of the transformation of online teaching in the activities of higher education teachers were revealed. It was concluded that the attitude of teachers towards online teaching has improved. However, according to teachers, the quality of online education is still inferior to offline education and there are many problems and shortcomings. In many ways, the success of online education is due to the ability of both teachers and students to master new technical tools and to adapt to new conditions.
The conclusions highlight the problems of online education and the prospects for its development. The characteristics of modern technologies are analyzed, their impact on improving the effectiveness of online education and possible options for further use are predicted.
