Abstract
In recent years, crises affecting both the world and Lithuania have posed challenges to educational institutions, prompting them to adapt quickly. This article presents the results of a quantitative study that explores the well-being of Lithuanian teachers and influential factors during the organisation of remote learning in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey results (n=129) revealed that younger teachers with less work experience felt more comfortable and were more satisfied with remote teaching than their older, more experienced colleagues. Conversely, older teachers with longer tenure found remote teaching more challenging and anxiety-inducing. However, older teachers with longer experience rated their competencies in lesson organisation, emotional
support for students and parents, and student engagement more positively than younger colleagues. The study results emphasise that the primary factors affecting teachers’ well-being during remote teaching include stress levels, age, work experience, limited technological, didactic and social-emotional competencies, and the methodological and emotional support provided by the school leadership and administration.
