Challenges of distance didactics (data and recommendations)

Abstract

This article aims at analyzing the problems of distance learning in terms of didactic emergencies. It focuses on bringing ideas on the remodelling of didactic programming, by making use of technological tools, on identifying the novelties of didactic strategies and on evaluating the internal and external cooperation between the system and the extra system. Online studying is gaining more and more space in teaching and learning, favouring opportunities and abilities to adapt the studying to digitized spaces. It has now become an indispensable tool, given that to combat pandemics such as Covid-19, physical distancing has become a necessity. Meanwhile, after a year of learning on digital platforms, the problems have crystallized and education systems are looking for ways and means to avoid them. Our study can be considered as an effort for information and orientation on distance learning, creating opportunities for implementation in schools and emphasizing its importance in teaching and learning. It uses a qualitative method approach. We have used an extensive literature review relevant for the topic. The authors also observed 1503 online teaching hours, including the Zoom and Moodle platforms. Surveys and interviews with 205 students from two private high schools in two cities in Albania, were conducted. Based on their data we identified the advantages and disadvantages of the new teaching process (on line). From the observations made, we have reached some data and suggestions regarding the instrumentalization of the new didactics that is already a reality.
