Experiences in distance education and practical use of ICT during the COVID-19 epidemic of Slovenian primary school music teachers with different professional experiences

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of music teachers' professional experience on ICT use in Slovenian primary education before and after the proclamation of the COVID-19 epidemic. We collected data using an online questionnaire; eighty-three music teachers participated. We divided them into three groups with different professional experiences. The results show that music teachers with less professional experience used ICT more and had fewer problems than those with more professional experience. The creative ICT use of music teachers in primary schools today has a significant impact on the quality of learning objectives, motivation and efficiency.
