Abstract
The article analyzes the capacity of Ukrainian pedagogical university faculty and students to teach remotely under unstable conditions like quarantine and martial law. Issues associated with their self-directed preparation to teach online under these conditions are also discussed. The study involved 594 students at Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University (420 bachelor program students and 174 master program students), 387 faculty members (206 social sciences and liberal arts teachers, 181 natural sciences teachers), and forty-five experts (twenty-five university leaders and twenty regional stakeholders). To determine the level of skills and abilities of the pedagogical university students, the authors monitored their educational progress in fundamental, professional, and didactical disciplines beginning in June 2020 when the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic started, until June 2023 when there was a partial adaptation of teachers and students to online teaching in emergency situations. Included in this period was the point at which Russia’s invasion of Ukraine peaked in intensity, June 2022. The authors propose organizational and methodological activities to help improve the skills that pedagogical university teachers and students need for online teaching under quarantine and martial law. The effectiveness of the applied experimental methods was determined by analytical reports of all faculties regarding the quality of the acquired knowledge. Statistical analysis was used to determine the results of expert evaluation.

Pour déterminer le niveau de compétences et d'aptitudes des étudiants universitaires pédagogiques, les auteurs ont suivi leurs progrès pédagogiques dans les disciplines fondamentales, professionnelles et didactiques à partir de juin 2020, lorsque la première vague de la pandémie de COVID-19 a commencé, jusqu'en juin 2023, date à laquelle était une adaptation partielle des enseignants et des étudiants à l’enseignement en ligne dans les situations d’urgence. Cette période comprend le moment où l’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie a culminé en intensité, en juin 2022. Les auteurs proposent des activités organisationnelles et méthodologiques pour contribuer à améliorer les compétences dont les enseignants et étudiants pédagogiques universitaires ont besoin pour l’enseignement en ligne sous quarantaine et loi martiale. L'efficacité des méthodes expérimentales appliquées a été déterminée par les rapports analytiques de toutes les facultés concernant la qualité des connaissances acquises.
