Abstract
The research on attitudes towards biology teaching was conducted in the fall of 2021 in an online format, with most statements contextually paired within contact and online teaching for the opinions of students and teachers, while parents responded about the online teaching they could follow. Student responses were mostly uniformly moderately positive for both teaching. Teachers with contact teaching have highly positive reactions in line with the guidelines for quality biology teaching, and they match students' responses for online teaching. Parents mostly have a good opinion of biology teaching in an online format. Student and teacher statements indicate significant differences between contact and online teaching related to teaching and learning, inquiry-based learning, motivation and activity. Significant differences were observed between participants in the assessment of teaching and learning performance, all closely related to the characteristics of the individual teacher. Based on the results, a modular three-stage professional development system with a mentoring support network was proposed that would significantly help in the application of hybrid teaching and learning, but also more successful implementation of quality biology teaching.
