The research method utilized for this analysis was qualitative, in which two questionnaires were constructed. One was given while COVID-19 restrictions peaked in 2021, the other occurred two years later in 2023. Slovakia was the country where the teachers inquired were situated. In 2020, the School Education Gateway conducted a survey on online and distance learning in the EU. The data gathered was used as a basis for a similar survey men- tioned earlier. Which was done in primary, high and university educational institutions. However, the purpose of the second one is to obtain the latest views and opinions of teachers on digitalization in education. Specifically, their satisfaction with e-learning techniques and whether they have continued using them after the pandemic. Ad- ditionally, through our study, we sought to uncover obstacles that educators faced in adapting to the hastened digitization and to gauge their appetite for assistance from third-party resources. The results of this inquiry provide invaluable perspectives into the changing terrain of digital technology in education and can apprise the construc- tion of methods for boosting instructors' contentment and proficiency within the computerized educational sphere.

Nowadays, digital technology has become an increasingly noticeable element in the education system. In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak compelled schools across Europe to shut down, resulting in a sudden need for remote learning within the households of students and teach- ers. This event served as a catalyst for the accelerated integration of technology into education. Regard- ing e-learning and digitalization, we aimed to examine the difficulties experienced by Slovakian educa- tors in this study as a result of the rapid shift. Both students and educators were met with challenges during this swift transformation. In our research we focus on implementation of digital education element within the education pro- cess in Slovakia from the perspective of teachers. We gathered data due to the help of a survey, which was sent out to teachers in 2021 after COVID-19 restrictions were implemented in the educational sector. Partial results of the mentioned survey were analysis and studied in research article Barcziová, Machová (2021) with title Methods of Education during the Pandemic in the Context of Demography. Addition- ally, an additional survey was done in 2023, four years after the pandemic outbreak. Our respondents in the first survey were asked about their experiences with e-learning and the rapid change. As for the second survey, we were questioning them, weather they were satisfied with digital methods during the actual time period, and if they are using them on daily base without the absence of the regulatory ne- cessity of usage. The first questionnaire was created based on a questionnaire created by the EU. For the first survey we have received 204 answers and for the second one 64 from teachers located in Slovakia. The first questionnaire was analyzed in article titled: Methods of Education during the Pandemic in the Context of Demography (Barcziová, Machová, 2021). We can consider this research as the contin- uation of the previously mentioned article. In the study titled: Digitalization in Education primary we would like to concentrate on the second questionnaire and analyze the actual situation in Slovakia from the aspect of usage of digital educational methods.
