Abstract:

The accessing changes in the world order provoke fields such as education, work, and in general human lives. The pandemic caused by the spread of Covid-19 affected an extremely large part of the Earth, including the Republic of Bulgaria. Pupils and students had to switch to distance learning, being more precise go-to distance learning in an electronic environment. This was unexpected for us all - parents, students, and especially teachers. The teachers are the ones who have extremely difficult task of dealing in a very short time with the selection of (and possibly acquaintance with) appropriate software, as well as to master information and communication technologies, in most cases, and they may have never been trained in. This situation also provoked the study, which found a place in this report. It was targeted at the very beginning of the forced isolation, including the closure of educational institutions, in the Republic of Bulgaria - in the period from March 18 to April 10, 2020. A logical choice in this state of emergency was the way of conducting it - an electronic survey.

Keywords: State of emergency, Isolation, Training, Education, Information technology, Distance learning, Electronic environment.
