Abstract

This paper deals with the etiquette of real-time teacher-student communication in digital education, which was introduced in Spring 2020. Teachers from secondary and primary schools (n = 142) participated in the research and shared their experiences through an online questionnaire consisting of 23 questions. The survey revealed the interfaces and motivational tools teachers used to keep students′ interest and the rules they adopted to adapt to the new working arrangements in order to ensure effective synchronous digital communication (dress-code, background, tidiness of the environment in the camera view, clothing, eating and drinking, standing up during lessons, use of cameras and microphones, respecting time limits). The results show that there was no uniform protocol for online communication of distance education in Hungarian public education. This both made it difficult for teachers and students to communicate with each other and reduced the effectiveness of teaching.
