Evaluation of the teachers-defectologists competence in the field
of virtual practices at the transitional stage to hybrid learning

Abstract: Modern socio-economic realities actualize the problem of organizing educational and remedial work in a hybrid format. It involves the contamination of virtual and traditional educational practices implemented offline. To determine the strategy for the flexible transfer of the educational and remedial process to a hybrid format, it is important to determine the readiness of teachers-defectologists to solve professional problems in the digital environment. This led to the setting of the goal of the study, the results of which are reflected in the materials of the presented article. To achieve the goal, scenario plans for virtual lessons and remedial classes were evaluated. Their number was 84. All scenario plans were accompanied by explanatory notes with elements of self-examination carried out by teachers-defectologists. The assessment was subject to the ability of specialists to create and use the virtual class IT infrastructure. The ability to design and readiness to implement educational and remedial work online were also assessed. As a result of the study, professional deficits of teachers-defectologists, including latent ones, were revealed. Taken together, these deficits have a negative impact on the quality of education of students with disabilities, preventing them from meeting their special needs in the digital environment. The obtained data should be taken into account when determining the strategy of scientific and methodological support for teachers-defectologists in the direction of increasing their media literacy and the formation of digital competencies in general.

Keywords: digital educational environment, virtual educational practices, hybrid learning, distance learning, defectologist teacher, disabilities.
