Abstract

In early 2020, the traditional form of full-time education has become unacceptable, which has made the educational system to change dramatically. Educators had to find new ways and tools for transferring knowledge to students. The aim of this work was to study the impact of the individualization of education on the effectiveness of educational services provided to Natural Sciences teachers in the context of Covid-19. The study involved semi-structured interviews, as well as close-ended questionnaires. The analysis of variance, Cohen’s coefficient and Statictica software application were also used. It was found in the sample of future natural sciences teachers that the individualization of education can promote higher efficiency of distance learning. This requires skillful handling of a wide variety of didactic materials and educational resources, their adaptation to the individual capabilities of the student, his or her expectations of learning and didactic goals. It was found that the individualization of education helps students to feel less overload, stress, tension, lack of time. They learned to plan and self-organize, their self-motivation and responsibility for the completed work increased.
