The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic brought with it a crisis that also affects education, which is facing a new challenge: the digital one. The school, at all its levels, with all the factors involved: students, teachers, authorities, and parents, has tried to adapt to the new reality, that of social distancing, in which the educational process must continue in the online environment. The process has not been tested before, teachers have adapted to the situation in a very short time, and students have used their own devices, or those of parents, to take online academic courses. The European COVID-19 pandemic and the Romanian national measures needed to combat the spread of the virus have caused significant disruption to education, training and mobility activities for students and teachers in the European Union (EU). In this context, we considered it relevant to find out how, already having an experience of 3 semesters of presence in the online environment, the students from the initial pedagogical training programs perceive the advantages and disadvantages of technology-based teaching. We also wanted to investigate how they analyse pedagogical training programs in terms of the impact that the transition to the online environment has had on their expectations regarding their own training for a future profession.
