In the paper, the authors discuss the first research effort to explore the transition from traditional teaching into distance teaching in Polish primary schools enforced by COVID-19. The first research question was addressed to primary school students and was dedicated to furnishing them with ICT equipment for crisis-prompted distance informatics learning. According to the obtained results, almost all Polish students during the pandemic have a technical opportunity to participate in distance learning and to use digital devices to develop their digital competences. Hence the second research question was addressed to the experts, demystifies whether the accessibility and the availability of ICTs could increase students' informatics learning outcomes in out-of-school primary education settings. The obtained results reveal the significant importance of out-of-school informatics education in pandemic time. Moreover, in the first wave of pandemic, distance informatics education had the same or similar effect as if students learn informatics by themselves, without school lessons and teachers' support. The obtained results should strengthen teachers and school leaders in making informed decisions during the shift into distance informatics education. Also, by investigating participants' informatics learning outcomes and teacher preparedness and choices when implementing distance education, authors hope that the study may be helpful for policy-makers with the progressive changes in education and government support for informatics, especially in Poland, in making informed decisions to aid the transition into distance education as well as developing preparedness plans for future pandemics.
在该论文中，作者探讨了在新冠疫情促使下波兰小学从传统教学向远程教育转变的首次研究尝试。第一个研究问题针对小学生，旨在为他们提供用于因危机而开展的远程信息学学习的信息通信技术（ICT）设备。根据所得结果，几乎所有波兰学生在疫情期间都有技术机会参与远程学习，并使用数字设备提升其数字能力。因此，第二个研究问题针对专家，揭开了信息通信技术的可及性和可用性是否能提高校外小学教育环境中学生信息学学习成果的谜团。所得结果揭示了疫情期间校外信息学教育的重大重要性。此外，在疫情的第一波期间，远程信息学教育产生了与学生在没有学校课程和教师支持的情况下自学信息学相同或相似的效果。所得结果应能增强教师和学校领导在转向远程信息学教育过程中做出明智决策的信心。而且，通过调查参与者的信息学学习成果以及教师在实施远程教育时的准备情况和选择，作者希望该研究可能有助于政策制定者应对教育方面的渐进变化以及政府对信息学的支持，特别是在波兰，帮助他们做出明智决策以助力向远程教育的转变，并制定未来疫情的应对预案。
