In the context of a full-scale war, participants in the educational process are implementing innovative strategies for adapting to new realities, based on the development and application of models of blended learning. The purpose of the academic paper is to study the features of the blended learning methodology in crisis situations with the identification of advantages and risks. The research was conducted using general scientific methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction, specification, generalization, and formalization. In the course of the research, the existing models of the mixed type of educational process and the means of their practical implementation in educational institutions were analyzed. The problems of blended learning in the crisis period of military conflict are actualized, its features are presented. The risks accompanying the process of implementing the blended learning methodology are identified, and variations of measures to prevent them are proposed. It has been proven that the quality of the blended learning process depends on the teacher’s digital competencies in the online process. It has been established that the trend under study enriches the students’ learning experience and stimulates their motivation to study. The level of efficiency of blended learning is analyzed in comparison with distance and traditional learning. It has been determined that blended learning is much more effective than traditional and distance learning subject to careful planning of the educational process and a reasonable selection of tools. The essence of the methodology of blended learning as an innovative technology of the educational process and its effective anti-crisis format is proven. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of their productive use in the process of optimizing the system of education in war conditions by improving existing and developing new methods and algorithms of blended learning.
