Sažetak
In the spring of 2020, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic caused by the coronavirus,
education systems around the world introduced a new form of education called
Emergency Remote Education - ERE. Given that parents are important stakeholders
in the educational process, their perspective of the new situation can contribute to a
better understanding of the educational process that takes place in incident situations.
The main aim of the research was to determine how parents of students attending the
first four grades of primary school perceive ERE. The research was conducted online
in the time of the national lockdown in the spring of 2020. The results indicate that
parents have a positive perception of the teacher’s work. Furthermore, parents point
out that ERE brings new requirements related to the level of parental involvement in
their children’s learning process, which creates additional stress and disrupts the daily
business performance and family responsibilities and assigns them with a new role of
parents as teachers. One third of the parents think that the child gets too many tasks
and that ERE is too demanding. Parental overload with ERE, and their perception
of child overload with ERE is significantly related to parents’ educational level and
work status, and to the degree of children’s independence. The findings of the research
lead to a better understanding of the parental role in ERE during the pandemic and
can serve as a starting point for the development of a parental support system during
new emergency situations.
