Peculiarities of Organization and Efficiency of the Educational Process Under Martial Law

Abstract

Objective: The object of the research is the objective reality of analysis and assessment of the sphere of the educational process in conditions of uncertainty and loss of control over this process. The subject of the research is the specificity of the organization and the level of effectiveness of the educational process in the conditions of the martial law of Ukraine.   Theoretical  framework: Many scientific works have been devoted to the problem of organizing the educational process in conditions of force majeure and armed conflict in particular, as well as to the derivative issues (Caplan, 2018), (Jennings, 2001), (Pet’ko, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2020), (Kotiak, 2011), (Lysenko, 2009), (Mazur, 2010), (Miniailova, 2022), (Morze, 2010), (Olshanska, 2016), (Prybylova, 2013), (Riabchun, 2021), (Sviezhentsev, 2015), (Skrypnyk, 2005), (Shevchuk, 2022), (Semenets-Orlova, 2022),  (Akimova et. al., 2022). A study was conducted based on Ukrainian universities about distance education during the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic (Bakhov, I., Opolska, N., Bogus, M., Anishchenko, V. & Biryukova, Y., 2021), based on which it was proposed application of open and specialized geoinformation systems of education for students and postgraduates (Iatsyshyn, A., Iatsyshyn, A., Kovach, V., Zinovieva, I., Artemchuk, V., Popov, O., ... Turevych, A., 2020).   Method: Researching the problems of the educational process under martial law is a rather specific activity and requires a specialized, non-traditional approach. This is due to numerous factors that are peculiar and relatively "new". Therefore, the methodological basis is the descriptive approach, which has the character of a description in revealing the regularities of the phenomenon, and the condition of the research is the laboratory approach. In general, the research is public and nationwide. And the main method is the method of non-formalized (traditional) analysis of documents directly related to education, and this is a qualitative method. Results  and  conclusion: In terms of the efficiency of school youth's acquisition of knowledge, the state of war undoubtedly significantly lowered the level. However, solely at the expense of valid teachers who remained in Ukraine and conducted classes in the region of unfavorable conditions and self-awareness of students in general, the effectiveness of teaching and the Ministry of Education and Culture only ensured the maintenance of such effectiveness.   Implications of the research: The study's findings have several implications for the field of analysed issue. It emphasizes the importance of school youth's acquisition of knowledge, the state of war undoubtedly significantly lowered the level. This can help them develop the necessary skills and knowledge to handle various crisis situations effectively.   Originality/value:This  study  contributes  to  the  existing  body  of  knowledge  by  specifically  focusing  on organization and efficiency of the educational process under martial law. It offers insights into  the  practical  aspects  of  the issue  and  provides  valuable  perspectives  from  both  future  specialists  and  their educators.
