Resumo

Blended learning distributes the load on students and promotes a convenient format for perceiving information. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of blended learning for developing students’ stress resistance in crisis situations. The goal was achieved using modelling methods, observation, expert assessment, calculations of the correlation coefficient, Cronbach’s alpha. It was planned to use the digital platforms — Canvas and Classtime — to implement blended learning. This allowed students in Group 1 to focus on distance learning, and students in Group 2 to focus on classroom learning. This approach to learning allowed students in Group 1 to better develop theoretical skills (94%), and students in Group 2 to better develop practical skills (95%). The results showed that students in Group 1 were most able to reduce the level of anxiety (17%), which was associated with the flexibility of the educational process and the use of digital technologies. Students in Group 2 were most able to develop the level of learning motivation (98%), which was associated with the use of digital technologies in the educational process and the support of social ties. The practical significance of the article is the identified effective blended learning strategies for developing students’ stress resistance. The research prospects are related to identifying the advantages of blended and distance learning for developing stress resistance and motivation of 1st and 4th year humanities students.
