AB Restrictions applied by the government in order to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus claimed a forced transfer to distance learning in a wide range of school levels, including universities preparing future teachers. The research is focused on school cheating during online testing of future teachers - students of Teacher Training for Kindergartens and Teacher Training for Primary Schools. The questionnaire survey examined a relatively narrow range of possibilities how to cheat - the use of the so-called crib or cheat sheet, also in its electronic form. The aim of the research was to compare the possibilities and approaches to cheating by students during in-class and online examination. Although these are future educators, supposedly having higher moral credit, cheating has occurred and continues to occur even now. A sample of 121 respondents did not confirm a higher rate of use of a prohibited devices in written tests, as expected, but only in online oral exams. The results of the survey within the above mentioned groups of respondents nevertheless seem to have been confirmed to some extent by similar researches, eg. Reedy et al., 2021 or Chirumamilla et al. 2020.
