Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze the results of teaching the subject «Fundamentals of Health» in grades 5-9 in the conditions of distance learning with the application of cloud technologies. The following methods were used for the study: videoconferences, explanations, interviews, surveys, tests for formative and summative assessment, performing practical tasks, works, projects, compiling instructions to tasks, creating educational presentations and videos. The article substantiates the possibility of teaching the subject «Fundamentals of Health» in grades 5-9 using cloud technology and educational platforms in the conditions of distance learning, such as: Google Classroom, Zoom, Meet, Edpuzzle. The results of 5-9-grade students’ academic performance were analyzed and it was found that grades 5, 6, and 9 showed a fairly high level of academic achievement, while for the students of 7th and 8th grades this indicator was quite low. The obtained results are explained by the difference in motivation, experience of blended learning and students’ age psychological peculiarities, parents’ inclusion in the educational process, various types of practical tasks. The prospects for further use of distance education are highlighted in the article. They include application of tried and tested cloud technologies, systematic and comprehensive professional development of teachers; teacher-parent cooperation, preparing guidelines for students’ parents; adapting types of tasks and their content to the conditions of distance and blended learning; launching teachers’ own YouTube channels.
