The article discusses e-learning tools as a fundamental step in implementing digital learning technologies as a factor in the development of teachers' creativity today. Recently, higher education has been developing with the help of digital technologies that significantly enhance education quality. The integration of complex software-hardware systems into the educational process lies in incorporating big data analytics, robotics, neural networks and artificial intelligence. The objectives of reforming the educational system require corresponding changes in teaching methods, as well as in higher education, through informatization and digitalization. This has led to the emergence of open education which allows for unrestricted access to educational resources. Open education also contributes to the development of digital pedagogy. Indeed, every student can choose an optimal educational programme to follow a personalized learning trajectory online which considers one's characteristics and interests. After all, the development of digital pedagogy requires addressing various organizational, methodical and practical issues. They range from implementing digital learning technologies in the context of open education and culminating in the creation of a long-term strategic plan that will gradually transform the educational process and, in turn, encourage teachers to think creatively.

The article delves into the metaphorical concept of blended learning as a bridge to informed citizenship in the dynamic realm of politics. The study aims to explore how blended learning, a modern educational approach, can serve as a metaphorical bridge, connecting citizens to comprehensive political understanding. Employing comprehensive methodology involving metaphor analysis and educational research methods, this study sheds light on the transformative potential of blended learning in fostering informed citizenship. The metaphorical bridge of blended learning gains further depth when considering its structural aspects. The metaphor extends to the idea of overcoming obstacles. Bridges are engineered to span gaps and surmount obstacles, much like blended learning addresses barriers that hinder political education. By providing access to a wealth of information sources, blended learning empowers citizens to surmount challenges posed by limited information access and varying learning styles.

The article deals with the psychological and pedagogical conditions of formation of ecological consciousness of students. On the basis of the analysis and generalization of scientific literature on the problem the authors determine the notion "ecological consciousness", investigate its three-component structure (cognitive, emotive, and conative components), distinguish types of ecological consciousness (anthropocentric, biocentric, ecocentric) and the main approaches to the formation of ecological consciousness (traditional, of ecological psychodedagogy, practical-orientating, of ecopsychology of development), and determine psychologo-pedagogical conditions, which guarantee the efficiency of work on ecological consciousness formation. Ecological consciousness is concentrated on the relations of the mankind to the environment and the world of nature that is to material reality. The most popular definition of it is as follows: ecological consciousness is a complex whole of ecological concepts, existing attitudes towards nature, and corresponding strategies and technologies of interaction with it. The problem of the survival of humanity on a global scale has come to occupy a central place as our planet becomes more and more interconnected politically, economically, and socially, and as the security, health and well-being of every human being is more and more dependent on the ecological well-being of the planet as a whole. We need to carry out research and practical steps related to worldwide social and psychological promotion of the concept of sustainable development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The fear of errors can be eliminated, allowing students to focus on content, intonation, and organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article explores the strengths and limitations of blended learning, flipped learning and case method. The purpose of our study is to identify the efficiency of application of such approaches in a professional sphere in foreign language teaching. The methodology of this study involves the scientific method of analysis. Today, technology has impacted all fields of society: science, media and social interactions, and above all education. In the field of foreign language education, the influence of cutting-edge technology appears to be more crucial. Nowadays traditional classroom doesn't suit the students who are no longer interested in print textbooks. Moreover, teachers must find ways to apply effectively information and communication technologies in the learning process. One of the ways is the concept of blended learning. It implies the optimal combination of traditional pedagogical technologies and distance, online learning. It encourages: access to knowledge; social interaction; cost effectiveness and ease of revision; increased access and flexibility; an increased cost and effectiveness. Another trend is flipped learning. It is an instructional approach in which instruction occurs in advance and classroom time is maximized. The effectiveness of such approaches is clear. The authors consider it indisputable that blended learning, flipped learning and case method should be used to some extent for students of all majors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
