Abstract

The period of distance learning (March-May 2020) showed how the Polish educational system manages education and implementation of curricula using new technologies.The aim of the research team was to learn the opinions of nearly 80 students about the organization and efficiency of the distance education. The research was carried out using original questionnaire composed of 28 questions, including questions referring to demographic and social metrics. The statistical analysis used SPSS 26 package. The research allowed us to conclude that the educational and upbringing process was realized in this Youth Centre of Sociotherapy in a differentiated way. However, the levelof teaching and sociotherapeutic activities depended, on the one hand, on the motivation and engagement of students, Barents, teachers and educators, and, on the other hand, on the ICT tools and infrastructure available to the students, teachers, educators and the therapists.
