“…The informatics' teachers were much ahead. They mostly use a platform using advanced information systems for administrating submitting and handing in tasks and communication with students (Moodle, Google Classroom, or Microsoft Teams) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

This article describes the research results aimed at distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic and closing schools and its symmetry with the classical state in terms of time, difficulty, and the mental and physical condition of students. An important aspect is therefore to maintain the symmetry of attitudes to teaching in face-to-face form and distance form. In terms of the eight-year gymnasium in the Czech Republic, students’ attitudes to the teaching subject informatics were investigated. The main research questions in our study dealt with whether students felt equally balanced regarding the amount of tasks and time taken for home preparation during the Covid-19 outbreak compared with the time before the quarantine and their condition (both mental and physical) during the Covid-19 outbreak. The research was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire, which was answered by 110 out of 180 students. According to the results, it is evident that students felt that during the distance education, there are more tasks compared to face-to-face ones. Students also claimed to spend more time learning at distance education than at school. On the other hand, they agreed that the self-education schedule is suitable for them. In terms of the questionnaire, their condition (both mental and physical) was also evaluated, which was slightly above the average.

“…Anxiety is the most important element of human existence and a natural response to uncertainty (Halian et al, 2020b;2020c;. The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic has created many problems for humanity and at the same time opened up new opportunities, forced to slow down the pace of life and rethink values (Khmiliar et al, 2020;Molchanova et al, 2020). Some modern studies have found that the lack of controlled spending of time by children in social networks during self-isolation exacerbates anxiety, apathy, encourages a sense of isolation from social reality (Hudimova et al, 2021).…”

The aim of the article is to study the mental states factors of primary school pupils’ anxiety during the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. The psychological factors of school anxiety and fears are theoretically substantiated. The methodological starting points of the empirical study are distinguished. The combination of psychological and physiological semantic parameters of the phenomenon is taken into account. Valid psychodiagnostic methods were used. The structure of mental states of pupils’ anxiety, which consisted of five main factors F1-F5 (∑D = 76.371; V = 20.005), was studied by factor analysis of ANOVA. It is established that the principal is the mental state F1 “School anxiety” (D = 38.029; V = 9.962), which is interrelated with the mental state F4 “Self-realization anxiety” (D = 9.711; V = 2.544) (rs=-.443; p≤.01) and the mental state F2 “Emotional-expressive anxiety” (D=16.057; V=4.206) (rs=.373; p≤.01). It was established and grounded that the mental state F5 “Isolation-physiological anxiety” (D=4.529; V=1.186) is suicidal. It is generalized that the obtained empirical results and theoretical substantiations will promote: realization of the decision of educational problems in primary school age; implementation of the obtained results in preventive and corrective-developmental work; will reduce anxiety and affect the formation of adequate behavior of fourth-graders of secondary education.

“…Today's students enter HEIs with vast knowledge and experience of computer technologies as they grew up with the technology (Basol et al, 2018). Young people, which most undergraduate students are, spend more time on gadgets (Molchanova et al, 2020), as a result, they have great experience in using them. Although they are proficient in common technologies, younger students are not necessarily proficient in using technologies for learning (Nami & Vaezi, 2018).…”

“…Today's students enter HEIs with vast knowledge and experience of computer technologies as they grew up with the technology (Basol, Cigdem & Unver, 2018). Most students have access to and are experienced in use of digital technologies as they spend a lot of time on the gadgets (Molchanova et al, 2020). As much as most students can use ICT tools and platforms, successful utilisation of these platforms, however, requires ICT tools, internet connection and data, resources that are not always available to many students, especially those from remote rural areas (Krönke, 2020).…”

The closures of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) due to the Covid-19 pandemic meant that face to face classes had to be put on hold. However, the growth in information and communication technologies (ICT) made it possible for HEIs to continue with their core activities remotely, primarily using learning management systems (LMSs). The overuse of LMS at the selected HEI resulted in the former’s collapse. The consequence was that management of the institution advised lecturers to use multi-modal emergency remote teaching (ERT) to save the academic year. Lecturers adopted a variety of platforms and approaches, largely depending on their preferences. This study identified the ICT platforms and approaches used by lecturers during remote teaching as well as estimating the readiness of students for emergency remote learning. Readiness was established with the use of the Technology Readiness Index 2.0 (TRI2.0) of the Technology Readiness Model. In addition, the effects of age, gender and level of study on technology readiness were estimated. A self-administered questionnaire was shared with senior students within the accounting department of the selected HEI. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected from 243 respondents. The study found that Microsoft teams was the commonly used platform whilst pre-recorded lectures and live classes were the popular approaches used. In terms of technology readiness, the study found that students were not ready as indicated by a low TRI 2.0 of 2.8. Age and study level had a positive effect on technology readiness. To provide the best possible learning experiences to students, lecturers need to understand what worked, what did not and why. The results of this study provide invaluable information and lay a foundation for successful future e-learning projects.
