Short description of the project:
The SARS-CoV-2 virus outbreak has led to the closure of schools and the introduction of compulsory distance learning. In the new educational reality, teachers had to face the most important goal: to enable students to effectively acquire competences resulting from the as-sumptions of the core curriculum. It involved making the most of the available technology. The traditional model of teaching had to be replaced by other methods of work practically overnight, which turned out to be a great challenge not only for teachers, but also for students and their parents.
The main problem that our project focuses on:
The available studies show that in the countries covered by the project, the organization of the educational process faced similar difficulties in the pandemic era. They are related to insufficient IT infrastructure, limited Internet access and insufficient IT competences of both children and teachers. The research shows that for 29% of Polish teachers, participation in remote education was associated with the purchase of new equipment and additional data transfer via the Internet. On the other hand, 13% of students were forced to use borrowed equipment. The rapidly progressing problem of science overload also turned out to be a significant problem. Statistics show that Slovak and Polish children during the pandemic studied remotely for almost the longest in the world – 37 and 35 weeks respectively. This condition will negatively affect their health and mental health. The teachers also experienced negative states. Czech teachers feel exhausted or have mental problems as a result of the pandemic. The percentage of teachers experiencing fatigue increased from 45% to 55%, and 38% of respondents experienced moderate symptoms of anxiety and depression. In turn, about 4/5 of Slovak teachers said they spend more time teaching distance learning than regular classes. The number of hours spent communicating with students and parents has increased, and the number of hours of face-to-face teaching has decreased. The greatest increase in work was recorded by teachers of primary schools. For this reason, the Covid Burnout phenomenon can be observed in this group.
