Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to define the type and specificity of competencies in distance education during the coronavirus pandemic that may be gained and broadened by pupils and students. The following questions were asked to achieve this objective: What is competence? Which competencies are mainly transferred by online education? What is the global experience in distance education during the coronavirus pandemic? Is the time of distance education a real opportunity to further develop competence? Answers to these questions provided based on the analysis of the most recent literature on the subject, in particular studies on distance education, will make it possible to present new paradigms and challenges in this area.
