So, first question. What insight into teaching, have you gained from teaching online.
Unknown 0:35
I think it highlights it for me the importance of face to face than and the role that teaching face to face plays in student engagement. In the process of learning how get student more motivated and engaged I have learnt a lot about different online tools that I can incorporate in my lessons, so it’s been great. I have seen how talking less and using interactive activities has helped students gasp concepts, so I plan on using more of these tools going forward.
Unknown 1:06
Okay, great. Do you believe this online teaching experience will change your teaching when you go back?
Unknown 1:19
It definitely will, for me, in terms of planning. I think, planning for online teaching, you have to sort of plan, from the start to the end of the lesson so I think there are going to be some key elements that we’ll be able to take away from that.
Unknown 1:43
Do you prefer teaching face to face or do you prefer teaching online, and why?
Unknown 1:51
Good question. I’m not going to report on anything, depending on the country. I absolutely love teaching face to face in the UK, the UAE, I think it’s a bit more challenging teaching face to face, I think I’m more fatigued, teaching face to face, especially with the number of students in our classroom. In comparison to teaching online, I prefer teaching online, really.
Unknown 2:26
That’s interesting. What have you found to be challenging. Sorry, what have you found said again, behaviour. Yes okay but what have you found to be challenging and rewarding, whilst working online.
Unknown 0:01
Just online. So what was challenging, and what did you find rewarding whilst teaching online.
Unknown 0:08
Um, challenging was not being able to gauge whether students have understood the concepts that were taught, or not. Usually that’s through observation in the classroom, and just you know, looking at students body language and seeing whether they’re engaged or not, and that doesn’t necessarily happen through online learning because unless if students are interacting with the activities. There is actually no way to be able to check the understanding do assessment for learning. And with regards to rewarding. I think it was rewarding being able to discover different platforms, through which to engage students I think in the absence of being able to teach online. I would not have known the different platforms that exist and how innovative technology can be, to be able to assist but not as the primary to use to teach.
Unknown 1:19
Okay, excellent. Would you say your level of motivation to teaching is changed during COVID-19.
Unknown 1:32
I would say yes yes or no, I would say, more than ever there is education, you know the importance of educational always believes it but I think the approach to it can be somewhat outdated or it can cause a lack in motivation. And so it would be a way to just review the approaches, because with what happened we realised that we didn’t have to do it in that way there’s so many different ways to do it. And to just be flexible with the tools to be able to do what is suitable to students, but also to teachers, it pretty much means there’s no blueprint, and it just feels like we’ve just been following this traditional way of teaching, when there can be so many different ways that we haven’t necessarily explored because we’re just sticking to what we’ve always done.
Unknown 2:30
So that you’ve seen this increase your motivation, wanting to change it switch up.
Unknown 2:35
That’s why I said yes or no, because, in as much as I want to, and that has increased. At the same time. It’s not that it’s decreased it’s just pretty much stayed the same, because I know that to be able to switch it up. You know, it’s not something that, that the establishment cracy, you know, would like to do, it’s because it will take time. It will take effort. They’ve been. Yeah, it just takes time and a lot of effort that sometimes after they, no one is willing to actually put in.
Unknown 3:11
Okay, so what would you, what kind of factors have contributed to increase your motivation to teach during COVID Has anything.
Unknown 3:23
Yeah, the flexibility of actually being able to be at home was definitely a big factor. I think it abled me to have sort of a work life balance with time, not at first off, because when you’re working from home I feel like you’re more glued to the laptop and you have to sort of get in a habit of having that work life balance. If you’re not careful, because then you’ll just be at the computer from sunup to sundown and not actually put in the work, but just once you get that balance and you’re able to work around that. Yeah, that was definitely a really nice thing.
Unknown 4:03
Okay. And then the other, the other side the other coin, what facts have has hindered your motivation to teach during COVID.
Unknown 4:16
I think just not being able to interact with the other people like just the action of getting up in the morning and being in a routine, driving to work, there’s certain things that, you know, we’re taking for granted, just being able to listen to a podcast or catching up with friends on the way to work, and then just interacting with, with other teachers with students that social aspect is definitely was a downside to it. Lupis. Yeah. Okay, well that’s definitely no subject specific PDF, they’re just very generic.
Unknown 4:59
There’s a lot of collaboration I thought the collaboration was.
Unknown 5:03
Yeah, because then it just meant as much as with certain subjects, everyone is already in their corner with with business, for example. And then, it’s just, even more so isolated. Yeah. Okay, that’s bad.
