Sažetak

Purpose of this paper is to describe the use of online seminars (webinars) to improve the learning experience for parents fostering critical thinking through indicators for efficient teaching. Eight online seminars (webinars) for parents were developed from March to June 2020 during the time of COVID-19 in Croatia. It was an open call through social networks, so the sample was mixed with parents, people who work with children at all educational levels, social workers, students - all who were interested in offered pedagogical themes. Participants attended the lectures in the same web room (platform) as the presenter but from distant locations. Participants interacted with the presenter using their personal computers, tablets, or smartphones. They were able to ask questions and get the answers in place for a chat. The lecture dynamics consisted of interactive presentations complemented with downloadable materials for further use. The evaluation was performed at the end of each topic via a questionnaire.This method allowed for the exploration of the teaching and learning of scientific knowledge and the acquisition of other pedagogical competencies (specific topic-oriented). The interactive activities and immediate feedback gave attendees the chance to participate actively and reflect on the topic, correct conceptual errors, and exercise critical thinking. All these factors are necessary for learning. The study recommends a research-based determination of teachers in online setting quality indicators that best correlate with efficient teaching and their infusion into online teaching practice assessment instruments.
