VIDEOS AND TELEVISION INTERVIEWS AS EFFECTIVE TOOLS FOR STUDENTS TO OBTAIN INFORMATION IN THE CONTEXT OF DISTANCE AND ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

Abstract

In the context of the war and the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need to update existing forms of training and develop new ones. Recently, educational videos have gained considerable relevance and popularity among students. Watching videos allows students to learn both theoretical material and the practical part of the class. The use of videos in classrooms or asynchronous learning has several advantages: the student has constant access to the material and the ability to download / multiple view / pause the video to comprehend the information received; viewing the material is not limited to visual perception, as the viewer listens to the lecturer's oral speech at the same time. Creating high-quality and informative video materials requires not only time, but also technical equipment and skills in scripting and editing. The authors propose to introduce not only videos into the educational process, but also to use scientific interviews with the participation of department/university teachers in practical classes. The participation of higher education institution teachers in scientific television interviews not only popularizes science among the population, but also performs career guidance and educational functions. The main advantage of a teacher's participation in a scientific interview is that the technical responsibilities for filming and editing the video are taken care of by the TV channel's staff, and the scientist is only required to present information in a professional and interesting way and to master the art of public speaking. By introducing such video products into the educational process, students have the opportunity not only to visualize the material they are studying, but also to hear the opinions of their university professors and other newsmakers. These elements in the educational process will allow future professionals to generate new ideas in relevant scientific fields and develop analytical skills. Based on the authors' experience, the paper provides recommendations for teachers who are going to appear on television for the first time and are preparing for a scientific interview.
