Abstract:

The educational system of the Republic of Croatia saw the transition from classroom to distance education starting on March 13, 2020 due to the pandemic of the new, infectious coronavirus COVID-19. The pandemic caused a sudden transition to distance education and a number of difficulties in the implementation of online education, therefore a study was conducted to determine the attitudes of students, who are future class teachers, and practitioner-teachers to distance education in which they participated. The results of the research show significant differences in the perception of the transition from classroom to distance education, revealing it was more difficult for practitioner-teachers to organize and implement online education. The research determined attitudes to distance education and attitudes to television-based education. The obtained research results can be used to improve distance education, which will be carried out as needed, alternating with classroom teaching.
