The educational system of the Republic of Croatia saw the transition from classroom to distance education starting on March 13, 2020 due to the pandemic of the new, infectious coronavirus COVID-19. The pandemic caused a sudden transition to distance education and a number of difficulties in the implementation of online education, therefore a study was conducted to determine the attitudes of students, who are future class teachers, and practitioner-teachers to distance education in which they participated. The results of the research show significant differences in the perception of the transition from classroom to distance education, revealing it was more difficult for practitioner-teachers to organize and implement online education. The research determined attitudes to distance education and attitudes to television-based education. The obtained research results can be used to improve distance education, which will be carried out as needed, alternating with classroom teaching.

The study was conducted with the goal of determining the cognitive learning strategies among teacher education students and their implications to classroom teaching. A descriptive method of research was used to find the students’ perceptual modality preference for learning among students, cognitive learning strategies and factors which are significant predictors for determining their cognitive learning strategies. Results showed that diversity in the classroom exists; the students are visual and group learners. The preference of working in group and verbal learning makes the students learn better than learning independently. Students’ characteristics have influence in various aspects in the classroom practices. The study concluded that students’ characteristics such as gender, language spoken and ethnic origin are significant predictors in determining the level of preference of students in terms of cognitive learning strategies. A model was formulated for improving classroom practices in which the College of Teacher Education should operate in a multicultural perspective with regard to teacher education programs. The model includes a development framework for curriculum restructuring, teacher development and student development.   Keywords - Cognitive Learning Strategies, Perceptual Modality Preference for Learning, Classroom teaching practices

We examine the effectiveness and sustainability of the distance teacher education program established by the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana, by investigating the differences in the academic performance of students who are trained in the teacher education program via traditional and distance education modes, respectively, from 2011 to 2015. Close attention is paid to the factors that affect the academic performance of students in the distance mode. Our findings confirm that traditional mode students perform better than their distance mode counterparts in terms of cumulative GPAs. Gender and economic demographics of distance study centers are found to affect the academic performance of distance education students significantly. The policy implications of these findings are discussed and directions of further action are outlined.
