CHALLENGES AND ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE LEARNING: THE CASE OF KOSOVO

. During the pandemic period, in terms of continuation of education in Kosovo, it was presented as an immediate request, immediate action and otherwise, by teachers. Teachers who are considered as the main agents of social change management, tried to show again that they are key factors in this regard. Teachers of all levels in education have been committed to giving their best to continue their daily work, despite the challenges they regularly face, due to the pandemic situation (COVID-19). Some of them did not have difficulty adapting to new situations and working conditions, but, for a significant part of teachers, online learning was not a trivial problem. The purpose of this study is to research and present the opinions of teachers regarding the challenges and advantages of online learning since the beginning of the pandemic until today. To carry out this research the mixed method was used all along with the quantitative and qualitative ones. Online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used as research tools. The number of respondents was 120 in total, of which 69 were females and 51 males. Their age and work experiences have been different. Based on the findings generated by the questionnaires and interviews, we can say that online learning has been presented as a challenge for teachers; however, their work results have been satisfactory.
