A study of School Teachers on Adaptation to Online Education during Pandemic Period

Abstract

A qualitative study was conducted among Delhi private and government school teachers on how they have been adopting to online education during this covid-19 pandemic. Views of the teachers were captured on the impact on the quality of education, role of ICT/Technology and adaptation from all three – parents, children, and teachers in this new format of teaching. Another aspect that was explored has been a blended mode of learning. Even though the perception is positive towards online teaching, there is a fear of the quality of education and how students, teachers and parents have been coping with some of the challenges that online teaching brought about. Online teaching in all its glory cannot be removed altogether and a fine balance between offline and online (blended) learning would need to be established over a period as things return to normalcy.
