Lived experiences of teachers and students in distance education: shift from traditional to online learning

Abstract

The shift from the traditional way of teaching to distance learning has led many institutions to transition to online learning, which is considered the most effective method for delivering curriculum content to students. Research on distance education shows promise, but it also reveals certain drawbacks. Consequently, improving the promotion of distance education in each institution presents a challenge. This research aims to address two key questions: (a) What are the developmental issues faced by instructors and students when transitioning from traditional to online learning? (b) What potential effects could these problems have on instructors and students' performance? Thematic analysis was employed to identify essential concepts related to information necessary for understanding online and distance learning. This analysis revealed the emergence of the "MAP" of distance learning, encompassing three distinct themes derived from the six main questions in the researcher's interview guide. "MAP" refers to the methodologies employed by different institutions during the teaching and learning shift, the alternative platforms used to deliver curriculum content, and the encountered problems. It is essential for institutions to be well-informed about these problems to effectively address them.

Building a technology for mass organisation of distance learning for students in quarantine based on the Moodle platform

“…Carambas and Espique [6], Lytvynova and Demeshkant [12], Semerikov et al [16], Tkachuk et al [19] have explored various aspects of distance education, from theoretical and methodical considerations to technological and practical implementations. However, the challenges specific to distance learning for students in general secondary education remain a focus for further investigation.…”

Development of Physics Learning Media : A Literature Review

“…With the increasing development of technology, the number of users of devices such as tablets and smartphones is expected to rise. Multimedia has the potential to propel advancements in science and technology education, offering new experiences for both students and teachers (AlGerafi et al, 2023;Carambas & Espique, 2023;Kotiash et al, 2022;Marougkas et al, 2023;Onu et al, 2023;Oubibi et al, 2022). The use of multimedia can enhance learning efficiency, stimulate students to engage in learning, and provide comprehensive information to improve learning outcomes (Haryana et al, 2022;Sekarwangi et al, 2021;Ullah & Anwar, 2020;Yeung et al, 2021).…”
