ADAPTIVE LEARNING AS A FACTOR IN OPTIMIZING THE EDUCATION PROCESS IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

On the basis of the content analysis of the scientific literature on the outlined problem and the study of practical experience of organising the educational process of higher education applicants studying on an individual training programme and options for using various learning formats, the authors reveal the essence of adaptive learning and describe the features of its application in higher education institutions (HEIs) under martial law. The methodological foundations of the study are the conceptual developments of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of organization of adaptive learning, the study of innovative methods of organization of the educational process in institutions of higher education using adaptive learning formats. The methodological foundations of the study are the conceptual development of domestic and foreign scholars in the field of adaptive learning, the study of innovative methods of organising the educational process in higher education institutions using adaptive learning formats. The research was organised using a set of general scientific methods: theoretical, empirical and data content analysis methods. Theoretical methods contributed to the synthesis and analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, the regulatory framework for the development and implementation of adaptive learning in the educational space. Empirical methods of selecting scientific and research material (surveys of higher education applicants, development of the regulatory framework), interviews with academic staff on their readiness to implement ideas, forms and models of adaptive learning in the educational process of modern educational institutions. The use of adaptive learning technologies in the educational process of higher education institutions allows to prevent the appearance of educational losses and gaps in knowledge, provided that students are individually trained, and acquire the desired level of knowledge. The authors emphasise that adaptive learning provides a flexible system of organising training sessions taking into account the individual characteristics of higher education applicants. In this process, special attention is paid to the student's personality, the leading kinds of activities chosen by him/her, personal and professional qualities, and the level of competence. It is noted that the optimal solution for the use of adaptive learning technologies is to organise learning interaction with a personal tutor according to an individual schedule at a convenient time for everyone.
