Abstract
Successful teaching depends on the teacher (Hattie 2003, Hattie 2009), on his work, on his knowledge, so it is crucial for the quality of teaching how the teaching is organized and how it is performed. It is precisely the teachers who, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, had to adapt their preparations and teaching in the short term to distance learning with the help of information and communication technology. The article qualitatively analyzes the instructions to teachers for the organization and implementation of distance learning published by the Ministry of Science and Education and CARNET. The corpus consists of six documents published in the period from March to December 2020. The research on the content of the instructions was conducted on the basis of a qualitative analysis of the content according to Mayring (2015). Instructions for time management, for organizing digital educational content, for establishing a communication channel and for supporting students in a virtual environment were analyzed. In addition, instructions for teaching in a virtual environment as well as for monitoring and evaluating student work were analyzed. Qualitative analysis of the instructions showed that the instructions are of a general nature and that their implementation requires not only time to implement, but also additional skills and experience in dealing with the new concept of distance learning during a pandemic. The contribution of this paper is the preservation of instructions from unique documents from the time when the pandemic led to the transition to distance learning in a short time and proposals for thematic workshops for teacher training.
