Abstract

The relevance of the study stems from the change in the educational paradigm from traditional to information and communication using various computer technologies as a result of the global pandemic and martial law in Ukraine. The organisation of the educational process has undergone significant adjustments and updates, in particular, the introduction of blended learning in primary schools. The article explores and clarifies the concepts of "distance learning" and "blended learning" based on the views of various national and foreign scholars. The authors of the article focus on one of the types of blended learning – the method of "flipped learning" or "flipped classroom".

The history of this approach and its improvement by various innovative teachers are analysed. In the course of the study, the definition of the concept of "flipped learning" is clarified and it is found that there are different forms of organising this type of learning. It has been proved that the pedagogical phenomenon of the "flipped classroom" as a form of teaching English in primary school has not received sufficient coverage in the system of professional training of future primary school teachers of English, so this topic is relevant.

The article analyses the content of the concept of professional competence of an English teacher in primary school and finds out that its information component is of particular importance. In accordance with the requirements of professional standards, a graduate of the pedagogical profile should possess and operate the necessary information and communication techniques, including: the ability to apply various means of communication, use non-standard forms and techniques in solving pedagogical tasks in the classroom in online/offline modes. On the example of the training of the Masters of the Institute of Pedagogy of Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University in the speciality "Primary Education and English Language", examples of the use of the "flipped classroom" as a form of teaching various educational components were given: "Methods of teaching English in primary school", "Innovative technologies of teaching English", "Theory and practice of teaching a foreign language using information and communication technologies".
