In the school year 2020/21 education underwent a turnaround due to measures related to the containment of covid-19 virus. Schools were forced to adapt their work to the situation and to implement distance learning. The materials were made available to students via online classrooms, and the students were forced to follow the lessons and complete the assignments at home. A distance learning became something completely new in the school system, and a lot of problems arose.
In the theoretical part, I focused on the general definition of learning and worked on active learning, which has shown excellent results and is a good alternative to traditional teaching. In the following, I define the concept of teaching and focus on the distance learning a little more accurately. I also described the ways of distance learning, the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning and how the role of the teacher and the learner has changed with the development of digital competences. However, the advances in technology have not only changed the role of the teachers and students, but also the way we teach. In my thesis I described the difference between traditional and distance learning, followed by a more detail models and recommendations that schools received during the epidemic or during distance learning from NIJZ and MIZŠ. Finally, I focused on the difficulties and problems that students encountered during the distance learning.
In the final part of my thesis, I presented the results of a survey which was conducted at the Škofja Loka mesto Primary School with pupils from 6th to 9th grade. My purpose of the research was to find out what difficulties the students faced during the distance learning. The results showed that students did not have problems with motivation as much as with the lack of social contacts.
