FACTORS SHAPING STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS DISTANCE LEARNING: ANALYSIS OF ENABLING AND BARRIERS

Abstract

This article analyzes the key factors shaping students’ attitudes toward distance education, focusing on social, technical, psychological, and pedagogical aspects. The study identifies both advantages (flexible schedule, broad access to digital resources, learning autonomy) and challenges (poor internet quality, reduced motivation, lack of live communication, insufficient technical readiness). Based on the findings, practical recommendations are proposed to enhance the efficiency of distance learning and increase student motivation.
