Online engagement has assumed a pivotal role within educational pedagogy, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study delves into the perceptions of Jordanian English language educators regarding their preparedness for online teaching in the post-pandemic landscape. In this quantitative study, a group of 101 English language educators from Jordanian universities participated, and their responses were subjected to analysis through descriptive statistics. The findings of this analysis indicate that the respondents exhibited a moderate level of familiarity with technology and e-learning platforms, alongside a similarly moderate level of competence in managing their online courses. Furthermore, the study underscores a noteworthy gap in their exposure to online education, despite their considerable tenure in teaching English. Consequently, the study underscores the necessity for tailored training programs designed to comprehensively enhance the online teaching proficiency of English language educators, thereby facilitating a more effective virtual learning environment.
在线参与在教育教学法中发挥了关键作用,尤其是在新冠疫情期间。本研究深入探讨了约旦英语教师对其在疫情后环境中进行在线教学准备情况的看法。在这项定量研究中,来自约旦大学的101名英语教师参与其中,他们的回答通过描述性统计进行分析。该分析结果表明,受访者对技术和电子学习平台的熟悉程度处于中等水平,在管理在线课程方面的能力也处于类似的中等水平。此外,该研究强调,尽管他们有相当长的英语教学年限,但他们在在线教育方面的接触存在显著差距。因此,该研究强调需要制定量身定制的培训计划,以全面提高英语教师的在线教学能力,从而营造更有效的虚拟学习环境。
