Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic and related emergency measures to limit the spread of the virus in Bulgaria led to the termination of all forms of education in schools from March 13, 2020. The learning process was reorganized and conducted remotely in an electronic environment and other absentes forms of training. Significant degree of freedom was given to schools and teachers to determine the models, forms, methods and tools for organizing teaching and learning processes according to the specific school context and the needs of students. How did teachers cope with this challenge? Were they willing to cross the line from face- to-face teaching to e-learning? With what attitudes did you go through this whole process of transformation?
