| description | The focus of this research is education during the coronavirus pandemic in Southeastern European countries (Kosovo,
Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia). It encompasses elementary education, high schools and higher education.
The aim of the research is multiple. With it, we want to present methods of distance learning during the pandemics in the
above mentioned countries, challenges and advantages that have emerged, as well as potential solutions for removing faults.
This is primarily qualitative research relying on several methods. We conducted interviews to understand the experiences of
different stakeholders participating in the education process. This research also relies on quantitative data, i.e. researches
doing by The University of Prishtina, Pedagogical Institute of Kosovo, as well as results of opinion polls and research
conducted by Student Parliament and Senate of the University of Sarajevo. Their research was conducted throughout the
academic year 2020/2021. Also, we compiled different texts from media, as well as statements from different stakeholders.
Our method is primarily inductive – because in some cases general ideas and conclusions about distance learning in
Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina are based on different individual examples. Information in this research in relation
to the section on North Macedonia is mainly based on three sources: Data from the website of Ministry for Education and
Science of the Republic of North Macedonia; Morphosis Foundation Survey from September 2020 entitled Status and
Challenges for Managing Online Teaching in Primary School; and Findings from the research with directors, teachers,
and parents: Experience and Attitudes about Distance Learning, a document prepared by Reactor. Our key conclusion is
that Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia were not an exception regarding to the problems that arose
during the pandemic in terms of education, such as online teaching, adapting students to new learning conditions, training
of teachers for teaching in extraordinary and new circumstances, assessment criteria, etc.
However, the situation has also brought opportunities to re-think existing education models and to find new solutions at
schools and universities. |
