Distance learning is a necessary attribute of the digital era and the noospheric existence of humanity with objective and virtual realities. The effectiveness of distance learning depends on a positive attitude towards this process, the manifestation of cognitive activity, and the effectiveness of perception in general and spatial perception in particular. The purpose of this research was to establish or refute the impact of spatial perception with and without the use of an avatar on the perception of the distance learning process by future and already working teachers. The conducted research helped us to accomplish a number of tasks to identify differences in the placement of social objects, situations, and events in space during face-to-face and distance learning of future and already working teachers, to find out the differences in the effectiveness of the process of spatial perception with zonal dispersion in a regular classroom and presentation on one plane of the monitor screen in distance learning conditions. We summarized data on modern research of using an avatar during distance learning, and determined the methods and functions of using an avatar that future and already working teachers choose to present themselves during distance learning. Also, we summarized data on the feelings of future and already working teachers during distance learning using an avatar and with the camera turned on, and summarized data on the use of an avatar during distance learning of future teachers who combine study with work, and teachers who combine professional pedagogical activity with study at a postgraduate pedagogical education institution. As a result of the research, we identified two groups of respondents with different attitudes towards distance learning. Taking into account the conclusions we have formulated when organizing distance learning will help increase the efficiency of spatial perception, which, in turn, will affect the effectiveness of distance learning as a whole.
