THE IMPACT OF ONLINE LEARNING ON THE HEALTH OF MODERN YOUTH

Abstract

The article analyzes some of the consequences of the influence of online learning on the health of modern youth. The transition to distance learning has created new conditions for the relationship between students and their mentors. Instead of exchanging opinions on the subjects studied, students found themselves in a closed, highly individualized environment, alone with a computer screen and with themselves, which caused problems with empathy in the younger generation. Communication between a teacher and a student in the conditions of distance learning is sometimes difficult for technical reasons (failures in Internet connection traffic, “floating” sound, fuzzy image, etc.), which leads to a decrease in academic performance due to circumstances beyond the control of the teacher and his students. Special attention is paid to the problem of visual impairment, physical inactivity and the general physical condition of students. It is concluded that for a full-fledged analysis, complex studies are required, both in relation to individual functions of the body and the scale of what is happening.
