Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic brought sudden and significant changes in planning and organizing teaching activities in the system of university education all around the world. Switching to online or blended teaching continues to be a challenge for both teachers and students. Rapid development of teachers’ digital competencies and students’ skills, develop- ment of different teaching models and application of virtual tools in teaching, during the pandemic, imposed the question of the quality of such teaching in the context of student achievement and potential development, as well as recognized professional competencies of new age teachers. The aim of our research was to determine students’ attitudes about the quality of online teaching during the pandemic, in the context of both their learning and development, and preparedness of teaching staff for shifting to online teaching. The sample consisted of students of bachelor and master academic studies, at the Faculty of Education, University of Kragujevac, Jagodina (N = 63). The survey technique was used in research and an instrument, which contained 10 five-point Likert-type items, was created to examine students’ attitudes. The results of the research confirm good professional competencies of teachers in the time of intensive digitalization of education, but also the need to strengthen their digital competencies, as well as systematic work on improving online teaching, in relation to its organization and organization of exam activities.
