Abstract

Problem. The military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine became a challenge to the very existence of the state, its sovereignty and collegiality, and also severely affected all components of education. There was a significant threat to the life and health of the participants of the educational process, large-scale destruction of the educational infrastructure took place, which caused the forced large-scale movement of participants in the educational process within Ukraine and abroad, and led to the deterioration of the provision of educational services and the acquisition of knowledge by those seeking education. This especially applies to specialties of the practical direction. Goal. The aim of this work is to find ways to address the issue of educating Ukrainian students in technical specialties during times of war, to ensure safety, and improve the quality of educational services. Methodology. The study involves analytical research on laboratory and practical work in the context of distance learning. It includes detailed analysis the existing experience of remote performance of laboratory work and the possibilities of their use in the educational process of Ukrainian universities under the conditions of war was conducted. Results. The search for ways to borrow existing experience in the remote execution of laboratory work and the possibilities of their use in the educational process of Ukrainian universities in wartime conditions showed that it is advisable to implement them using the laboratory of digital remote electrical engineering education “My Digital Electrical Engineering”, developed by Riga Technical University. The structure of this laboratory and the algorithm for working with it have been studied. Originality. A step-by-step algorithm for introducing the laboratory of digital distance electrical engineering education into the educational process of KhNADU is proposed. Practical value. The results of this study can be used to enhance the process of distance learning in technical universities of Ukraine during times of war, ensuring safety and improving the quality of educational services.
