Abstract

The relevance of research on blended learning (BL) has increased significantly during and after the COVID-19 quarantine. Particular attention should be paid to teachers’ training and retraining to conduct BL classes. The study aims to analyze scientific sources from the Scopus database systematically on the BL utilization in teacher training and retraining during the onset and progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. The final sample consisted of 27 sources. By analyzing studies, the following leading approaches to BL organization were identified: by the combination method (in particular, a pre-planned combining of face-to-face, synchronous and asynchronous distance learning through BL design and emergency transition from full-time to distance learning; combining of full-time and part-time forms of learning, learning on weekdays and weekends; on-campus and distance learning, etc.), by ICT tools (in particular, application LMS; institutional training in open courses posted on MOOC platforms; application of software and hardware for BL implementation); by pedagogical technologies BL (effective communication, interaction, and collaboration in the BL environment; teacher-led group and individual reflection on students’ experience of using BL tools in their own lessons; students’ work in small groups; project approach; mobile learning, in particular, on-demand learning; gamification in learning). The identified approaches to BL organization provide a number of advantages, including personalization; improved access to resources; intellectualization of learning. However, BL is not without its weaknesses, including dependence on technology; technical difficulties, and the need to train both teachers and students.
