Distance education during Covid-19 pandemic: an explorative study into remote learning in an Italian high school.

Abstract

This thesis aims at exploring how remote learning has been performed in an Italian high school. The investigation has been carried out taking into account the opinions and the digital skills of students and teachers, as well as the economic and the psychological aspects. Both parts involved responded spontaneously and anonymously to an online questionnaire. The central question of this explorative study seeks to point out whether the change caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has left something positive in the Italian educational system. The data that has been gathered confirmed that students and teachers are more aware of these new technological devices and more willing to integrate remote learning as a tool of learning support.
