Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers in North Macedonia to move from conventional classroom instruction to online teaching. The study presents findings from a survey conducted in November 2020 involving 524 teachers. It examined the digital tools and teaching methods used during the lockdown. Teachers generally used between three and five tools or approaches. Virtual classroom platforms, live video communication, and document or text sharing were the most commonly used, whereas creating and presenting videos was the least common. Vocational-education teachers used the broadest range of tools daily, while younger teachers used fewer tools than their older colleagues. The findings indicate that teachers were generally adequately prepared to deliver online instruction.
