OBJECTIVE To investigate technical distance education and the stress of its implementation in trainers and trainees, at secondary and post-secondary levels of education in Greece due to COVID-19.
METHOD The survey was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire for e-learning, with closed-ended questions, using the Likert scale. The survey results were processed with the help of the statistical processing software Microsoft Excel Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp, Armonk, NY), version 29.0.0.0.
RESULTS 84% of respondents agreed positively that some stress is created with distance lab training, while 37% recognized it as a lot and 47% reported it as a little. Finally, when asked if there is a feeling that problems arose during distance learning, an overwhelming 98% believed that there have been problems without them being named yet.
CONCLUSIONS In the survey, the majority of respondents answered that the pandemic negatively affected the educational process in technical education and how problems arose during distance learning. Trainers and trainees agreed that distance lab training creates some levels of stress and for this purpose, training teachers in digital techniques is deemed necessary.
Key words: COVID-19, Pandemic, Stress, Technical distance education.
