Abstract

Digital remote education (2020–2021) presented unprecedented challenges worldwide for both teachers and students at all levels in educational processes. Hungarian elementary school teachers typically autonomously explored online methodologies and techniques as platforms to meet the criteria of effective digital remote education. The aim and the main scope of our online questionnaire study was to gain insights into the efficiency of various digital platforms and opportunities that the participating teachers (N=71 teaching 1–6 grades explored and experimented with. The research question aimed to elicit how the respondent elementary school teachers were able to apply various digital tools to support their pedagogical practices during the following phases of instruction: lead-in, presentation and/or elicitation, controlled and free practice, revision, and evaluation and assessment.
