E-learning, Blended Learning, Education of Future Teachers of Mathematics, Distance Learning, Didactics of Mathematics

During two semesters of the academic year 2020/2021, distance learning was implemented at Faculty of Education at The University of Ostrava due to COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented online learning via MS TEAMS and LMS MOODLE. Although digital competencies of teachers at Department of mathematics are at a very good level, this situation brought new challenges that both teachers and students had to face. During this online learning, we realized an action qualitative research. As a research goal, we set ourselves to identify interaction between subjects (students, teachers) during online education in two semesters of the academic year. For the research, we chose a qualitative methodology, we used the method of observation, interviews with students and text analysis. During the action research, we observed an increase in students’ motivation to use digital technologies, we identified critical points of digital teaching and learning in individual courses. The preparation of this education seems to be much more time consuming and technically demanding, but on the other hand, prepared materials are also available for the next period.
