Changes in the Use of Resources in Teaching Physics Due to the Influence of Distance Learning

Abstract

As part of the MaTeK project, involving researchers from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy, Norway, and Turkey, we carried out research on the use of resources by maths teachers for lesson preparation. The teachers were asked about if there had been any change in their use of resources due to Covid-19 pandemic. We noticed that multiple teachers stated that, due to Covid-19, they had found new resources, so we decided to investigate this topic further. In our research, with the cooperation of teachers in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, we focused not only on maths teaching but also on the teaching of physics. This paper describes the results of this research applied in Slovakia during physics lessons in primary and secondary schools. Our goal was to find out which resources had been used by physics teachers before and after distance learning and which new resources they had found. We were also interested in which resources they still use even now that distance learning is over.
