Abstract

Due to the situation arising from the COVID-19 crisis, face-to-face classes at education centres were cancelled. In order to be able to continue with the academic course, those centres were forced to get adapted and to use digital tools and resources so as to be able and contribute to the development of teaching and learning processes. This research is aimed at assessing the motivation level students at Secondary Education have concerning the use they have made of different digital resources during the crisis time. To that end, an online questionnaire, asking for aspects such as classes, platforms, teachers' video recordings, activities, tests and tutoring sessions, all of them available online, was designed and administered. The sample to be analysed comprises 52 students, including 25 from 3rd grade of Secondary Education and 27 from Bachillerato. The results show that students' motivation with regard to the use of the aforementioned resources and tools is positive, particularly, with respect to content management platforms, tasks and resources employed.
