MODEL OF ORGANIZATION OF THE PROCESS OF DISTANCE TRAINING FOR A SMALL SCHOOL

The article deals with the organization of distance learning for teachers of small-class schools (SCS) using the Discord platform, its advantages, and disadvantages, and also analyzes the current state of distance learning in SCSs and identifies the need for a pedagogical model for effective professional development of teachers. As a result, it was found that there are numerous considers in our study, but the proposed study offers a modern approach to solving it, which will ensure accessibility for teachers and students in rural schools that have limited resources and opportunities for implementing distance learning, and contributes to the implementation of important social-economic problem. At the same time, existing contradictions in the organization of the educational process of the SCS hinder its effectiveness. In this regard, the relevance of developing pedagogical conditions for high-quality professional training of teachers arises, who must have the skills to organize such training and be able to solve the problems that arise.

During the implementation of the project, a survey of secondary school teachers was conducted to identify their needs for advanced training using distance technologies on the Discord platform with the creation of a special channel. The results of testing the model showed that distance learning can be effectively carried out in synchronous and asynchronous mode, helping to increase motivation, the quality of knowledge and skills of students, etc. Research recommendations made can be applied to the creation of new products and services.
