"Analyzing E-Learning as a Tool for Teaching during the Covid-19 Pandemic among Select Group of Teachers of Ahmedabad"

English Literature Summit 2022 , 2022

Abstract The recent period has been affected by an unpredictable crisis that has shaken the foundation of the education system, since it was impossible for students of all levels to attend school during an unprecedented health catastrophe. In this study, the objective was to examine a blueprint for online teaching activities and learn how to conduct online teaching with primary, secondary, and higher secondary-level teachers during this pandemic. In this case, the researcher developed online questionnaires using Google Forms for the collection of data from the teachers of Ahmedabad who participated in online instruction during the period of this study. Across all three levels of the school, the researcher found that a large majority of teachers prefer teaching students offline than online, as they were dealing with numerous problems while teaching. Since many students were facing issues like internet limitations, gadget size, and disturbance of other students, most teachers opt to teach both practical and theoretical subjects in the classroom rather than online. Finally, hammering the last nail, the survey researcher analyses show that many selected teachers agree that online courses can improve their efficiency in teaching experience, but the opposite is true as well: online teaching is on the rise. Key Words: Covid-19, Online Teaching, E-Learning, Remote Education.
