Do Humanity Student New Needs Meet the State Decisions of Distance Learning during the COVID-19 Epidemic in Ukraine?

Abstract

The aim of the empirical study was to verify the key hypothesis. The key hypothesis was: the humanity student new needs in distance learning meet the state decisions of distance learning during COVID-19 epidemic in Ukraine. It was used the research methods: general scientific research methods; study of official documents and scientific resources; statistical methods, including verification of statistical hypotheses. It was 77 students of humanity specialities. Verification of statistical hypotheses led to the Alternative hypothesis. The principal result is that the humanity student new needs in distance learning do not meet the state decisions of distance learning related to the COVID-19 epidemic in Ukraine. The result is highly statistically significant (99.0%). The major conclusions are: 1) the state decisions of student health are distance learning in the amount of 100%; 2) the humanity student new needs in distance learning are 25.00% - 46.25%; 3) this amount is less than it was just before the pandemic came (54.20% - 68.66%). The new scientific knowledge has important practical and theoretical significance. The authors prepared some multi-level recommendations about distance learning during the COVID-19 epidemic for Ukrainian authority and universities. This study is helpful for higher education institutions who use distance learning.
