Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a new requirement to the school systems of most countries of the world, including Slovakia, to ensure the teaching process in demanding hitherto unknown conditions. It was necessary to find digital solutions for the teaching process to ensure the protection of students and teachers against coronavirus. Traditional full-time teaching at schools has been replaced by online learning. In this paper we specify selected pedagogical and psychological issues of online learning, identify the potential of online learning, and present the results of research focused on the perception of online learning by students at selected secondary schools in the pandemic. In conclusion, we analyze positive and negative aspects of online learning during the pandemic.
