TEACHING AND LEARNING IN THE NEW NORMAL: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF DISTANCE LEARNING AMID COVID-19 PANDEMIC
ABSTRACT
This research project aims to examine the opportunities and challenges of distance learning in the new normal era, specifically amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The study seeks to explore the impact of the pandemic on education, assess the effectiveness of distance learning methods and technologies, identify the opportunities presented by distance learning, and address the challenges that educators and students face in this new educational landscape.
A mixed-methods research design will be employed, incorporating surveys, interviews, and data analysis of educational platforms and resources. The research objectives include examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, evaluating the effectiveness of distance learning methods and technologies, identifying the opportunities presented by distance learning, and addressing the challenges faced by educators and students.
The findings of this research project will contribute to the existing body of knowledge by providing insights into the opportunities and challenges of distance learning in the new normal era. The research will examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, including school closures, the shift to online learning, and the implications for teaching and learning processes. Additionally, the research will evaluate the effectiveness of distance learning methods and technologies, such as online platforms, video conferencing tools, and virtual resources, in facilitating student engagement, knowledge acquisition, and skill development. Furthermore, the research will identify the opportunities presented by distance learning, including increased accessibility, flexibility, and the potential for personalized learning experiences. Moreover, the research will address the challenges faced by educators and students, such as the digital divide, technological barriers, lack of social interaction, and the need for effective pedagogical strategies in the online environment. Based on the findings, recommendations will be proposed to enhance the opportunities and address the challenges of distance learning in the new normal era, encompassing infrastructure improvement, teacher training, curriculum adaptation, and student support services.
