Abstract

This paper aimed at exploring the conclusions of the implementation of distance learning in schools of primary and secondary education in different countries as they were published in surveys from 2008 to today. Relied on the systematic review methodology to identify, evaluate and interpret the available research that responded to the research question asked. Eighty four surveys were initially selected, but thirty-three were rejected after testing, and they were presented in a table listing the reasons for their rejection. 

Of the forty-seven surveys selected, ten are from Greece and the rest from various other countries. From the processing of these surveys, many useful conclusions were drawn regarding the implementation of distance learning. Among the students who participated there were children living in remote rural areas, children with special learning needs or "gifted" pupils. Most of them expressed satisfaction with their participation, positively considering their ability to self-regulate their learning. The views of parents, teachers and educational staff were also explored. Finally, pedagogical exploitation of technology was evaluated. This thesis has been completed with the comparative assessment of Greek and foreign language research.
