Abstract

This paper deals with the issue of digitalisation in education. Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the issue of distance education has become extremely important and is of great benefit for pedagogical practices. The transition from in-person forms of study to distance education with the use of online teaching is resulting in a number of new trends that are contributing to the development of digital literacy among both teachers and students. However, online teaching also has some negative consequences, especially in the social and interpersonal fields. In the paper, empirical research is presented with the aim of identifying the quality of online teaching among the students at selected secondary vocational schools.
