Sažetak
The COVID-19 pandemic that struck the world in the spring of 2020 caused most countries, including Croatia, to switch from classroom to online and distance learning in a very short time. This research was conducted on a sample of 267 primary school teachers and 67 students of Teacher Education. The aim was to determine the impact of students' participation and activities in distance learning on their attitudes towards distance learning. To this aim, a questionnaire for teachers and a questionnaire for students were designed. The research results show that teachers find it statistically significantly more difficult to perceive the transition to the distance learning model compared to students. Both groups spent an equal amount of time on weekly class preparation. The results show students perceive a good internet connection in distance learning more important than teachers. Students have more positive attitudes towards teaching on television compared to teachers because when assessing such teaching model teachers tend to notice mistakes related to the content and teaching methods. Thus, the quality of this model is rated lower by teachers. As an advantage of distance learning, students emphasize temporal and spatial flexibility, yet they lack social contact with professors and colleagues. Too many exercises and homework assignments are cited as a lack of distance learning. Teachers point out that they lacked personal contact with students and colleagues, and they also state the problem of family members writing homework instead of students themselves. The experience of distance learning should become an integral part of the course on teaching methods in order for students to acquire additional teaching competencies.
