Innovations in education in times of war: research and evaluation of results

Implementation of the educational process during the war is a challenge for modern educational institutions, but despite the unfavourable situation, educational institutions are implementing important innovative solutions for the development of education in general. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate innovations in education in times of war through the prism of a survey and evaluation of the results. The participants of this study are 265 students and teachers from different parts of Ukraine. The search for respondents was carried out both on a targeted basis and using the snowball sampling method. The results of the study demonstrated the diversity of means of developing education in war conditions: the use of video conferencing platforms, mobile applications, communication platforms, learning management systems, virtual and simulation technologies. The most important is the use of learning management systems and platforms for conducting classes. The high scores of respondents demonstrate the importance of innovation in education during wartime. The conclusions emphasise that these innovations ensure the continuity of the learning process and provide access to knowledge in any crisis situation.
