Abstract

The aim of the research was to explore the impact of distance education on students’ motivation and emotional state in Ukraine during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2022 and the armed conflict beginning February 24, 2022. The research was carried out via Ukraine’s regional survey by using a convenient tool ‒ Google Forms, which provided quick feedback from respondents in the form of answers to questions. The survey was conducted in compliance with the ethical research standards. The approach was a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design conducted among 858 students at the State University of Trade and Economics, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, National Aviation University, Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, National University of Life and Environmental Science of Ukraine, and the Kyiv National Linguistic University in Ukraine. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that providing a safe educational environment for students is one of the main objectives of the educational process in wartime conditions and lockdown. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the proposed practical solutions to improve the organization of the educational process of higher education institutions under conditions of war and lockdown.
