Absract. The article reflects the results of research among practical education specialists who teach the students of the “Social Pedagogy” specialty of the University of Sofia and the teachers who are responsible for the organization of the practical training. The research was carried out through a focus group and a survey and aims to establish the good practices and challenges in organizing and conducting the practical training of the students during the COVID restrictions. The
analysis of the results allows us to outline guidelines for improving the quality of
the training in the conditions of unforeseen changes and crisis situations to satisfy
the need for qualified and motivated specialists in the field of social pedagogy.
