During this specific form of teaching, it is necessary to regularly monitor student activities by giving feedback on their work and progress and evaluating the achievement of the necessary learning outcomes. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, primary and secondary schools in the Republic of Croatia also switched from classroom to online and distance learning in March 2020. The national television started to broadcast the program called "Škola na trećem" for primary school students. These lessons 355were held in accordance with the curriculum and prescribed teaching plan and program. Classes for lower grades of primary school students were held in the morning and lasted 1 hour per grade.

Although practical work is important for understanding complex processes and phenomena, during distance learning it was not used enough. In the lessons broadcast under the title "Škola na trećem", different sources of knowledge were used, and PowerPoint content was most represented. In addition to the observation of lessons, a survey for teachers (N = 180) was used to explore their attitudes towards distance learning.
