demonstrate this experience based on Ukrainian
systems.
Let us note that media education is the
integration of the latest technologies in the
educational process based on the use of certain
techniques, which will lead to the
implementation of media literacy in students.
However, the phenomenon of media education is
relatively new for pedagogical science.
UNESCO has played a leading role in the
formation of media education. It is believed that
the concept of media education was first used at
a general meeting of the UNESCO information
sector. However, it is noted that the first
curriculum on media-education was formed by
M. McLuhan in 1959. However, its main use in
the educational process was in the 1960s in
Canada, Great Britain, the USA, Germany, and
France.
Consequently, media education is a direction in
pedagogy aimed at the study of special patterns
of mass informatization. We believe that the
fundamental tasks of media education are: to
form a new generation, ready to exist in modern
information and globalization conditions.
Students must master the means of
communication based on non-verbal means of
communication and through technical means.
We believe that media education meets the needs
of pedagogy in a crisis (military) environment
(Manolea, 2021). At the same time, it also affects
the development of personality, expands the
range of methods and forms of conducting
classes with students in higher education. We
believe that the integrated study of print, film,
television, video, the Internet helps to correct
such significant shortcomings of traditional
education as a one-sided, isolated, isolated type
of learning. In addition, this system of education
assumes a methodology of classes based on the
problem, heuristic, game, and other productive
forms of learning, developing the individuality of
the student, the independence of his thinking. At
the same time, it affects the formation of media
critical skills, influencing students to understand
which sources to trust and which not, which is
extremely important in the context of war (Martz,
2022). At the same time, media education that
combines lecture and hands-on activities
represents a kind of inclusion of students in the
process of media culture production, that is, it
immerses the audience in its own laboratory of
basic media competencies, which is possible both
offline and in the process of integration into
familiar academic subjects.
Note that when a student understands the
influence of media, it helps him or her to actively
use the information field of television, radio,
video, cinema, press, and the Internet not only for
learning but also for their own development. In
addition, it helps him better understand the
language of media culture. Media education
becomes especially important in the context of
globalization. Note that the current state of the
global and information society leads to the
influence of information dangers on all areas of
human activity, society, and country. For this
reason, the use of media education technologies
in higher education is of particular importance.
Conclusions
So, as the experience of the nearest European
countries (Poland and Georgia) has shown,
Ukraine will require, first of all, certain structural
transformations, in particular, emphasis on
foreign language learning at all levels of
education, a flexible system of retraining, and
continuity of educational processes. Separately,
let us emphasize the Georgian experience of
involving students in disseminating truthful
information about the Russian aggression in
2008.
The Ukrainian experience of the functioning of
education against the background of the
confrontation with the aggressor demonstrates
that distance education is of particular
importance at present. The large-scale Russian
invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated that it is
dangerous to conduct education in the usual face-
to-face mode. Consequently, Ukrainian
universities have switched en masse to an online
system. Consequently, refugee students who
have left Ukraine can study on distance learning
platforms from their own universities. This also
develops the potential of educational information
and communication technologies in Ukraine.
Despite this, the Ministry of Education and
Science of Ukraine, with the assistance of
international organizations, has created many
distance learning platforms for the development
of education at all levels.
Despite this, the experience of the Russian-
Ukrainian war on a variety of mechanisms of
information warfare (as well as manipulative-
propagandistic) confirms that university students
must be able to strictly assess and verify
information flows that arrive and circulate in the
communication network every day. At the same
time, it is also important in a military
environment that students should learn how to
recognize what information should be trusted,
