Covid19 Pandemics, Distance Teaching and development of Critical Thinking through Moodle Platform

ანოტაცია

Time, when mankind awoke at a time of covid19 pandemics expresses two dramatically different attitudes. People and their interests were divided into two parts; some of them were those, who could not stand isolation, with aggravation of their depressive background and the others – were able to adjust the reality to their interests and capabilities, they became modern and read the universe in a new way. They have discovered the new vision, they went deeper into implications and managed to adequately perceive the reality, they were able to adapt naturally. The education systems made attempts to launch the distance teaching and this turned out to be more or less creative, cognition oriented process. Georgian education system has dealt with this challenge by practical introduction of various programs and platforms. We would like to focus on the features and capacities of education platform Moodle as it can be a tool for development of critical thinking in distance teaching within the scopes of one specific course. This course is “Principles of Contemporary Thinking” and teaching of Georgian language to the foreign students.
