Sažetak
The contemporary society striving for economic stability will be based primarily on investing in the quality of human resources, and thus in the educational system. Through lifelong learning, individuals are able to improve the existing and develop new competencies. Teachers are the bearers of change, and the responsibility they assume in the teaching process – choosing the teaching approach – is great, and will ultimately affect students; achievement. That is why it is important to invest in the development of teacher competencies. They are expected to adapt to change willingly, to be the bearers of change themselves and to adjust their roles accordingly. It was distance learning during the current pandemic that required teachers to take on a new role, a leadership style and a different approach to teaching. In the academic year of 2020/2021, Zoretić, Čižmek Vujnović and Ilić conducted a survey among teachers at higher education institutions with the aim to show that distance learning increases the need for digital competencies of the teachers, thereby decreasing the need for social competencies.
