Abstract:

The paper analyses the repertoire of teaching methods and techniques that are used during online literature lessons at secondary level of education in the Slovak Republic. Selection of teaching methods and techniques, which depends on the teacher's teaching style as well as the learning style of students, but also subsequent use of the teaching techniques affect the educational process, the activity of the teacher and the students as well as their interaction. Methods and techniques that seem to be simple and practical in traditional education can be problematic in case of online learning. The effectiveness of e-Learning is determined by insufficient feedback, caused by switched off cameras and microphones of students, but also by the inability to monitor work of students and progress in completing assigned tasks. In e-Learning, face-to-face communication must be substituted with other methods and teaching techniques. The paper is focused on the research of teaching techniques that are used during online literature lessons in the Slovak Republic. Research methods can be characterised as direct structured observation and a questionnaire. That is the reason research data are not only unrivalled but also valid and reliable.
