Abstract

Teachers worldwide are increasingly using digital tools and resources as part of their everyday teaching practices. However, in Ukraine, where the education system has already suffered significant losses due to the post-war period, the challenge of implementing distance learning is even greater. This is particularly true considering the ongoing wartime situation until February 24, 2022. For the second year in a row, a study is being conducted to assess the readiness of schools and teachers to use digital means for learning and to identify any challenges they may be facing in this regard. In 2024, 26,227 teachers and teaching staff from all regions of Ukraine, including some from the occupied territories, were interviewed. It found that teachers continue to actively use digital tools for teaching, and the survey identified the most popular of these tools. The teachers also pointed out the numerous problems they face every day during the organisation of education. Unfortunately, most of these problems are related to the limitation of students' access to full-time education, the loss of school infrastructure and the internal displacement of families. The purpose of this article is to identify teachers' opinions about their readiness to use digital tools, identify issues and challenges related to this, and outline perspectives for helping teachers improve digital competencies. The article outlines a picture of the state of the use of digital tools for learning by Ukrainian teachers during the period of martial law and their need to solve the problems and challenges they faced. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the teachers’ needs and can serve for their professional development.
