FACTORS AFFECTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEARNING AND TEACHING MANAGEMENT ON THE COVID-19 EPIDEMIC SITUATION IN HECHUAN COLLEGE, CHINA

Abstract

The objectives of this research are as follows: 1) to study the impact of various factors, including the level of instruction, students, lesson content, networking, and information technology, on the effectiveness of teaching and learning management during the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) to study whether the effectiveness of teaching and learning management varies among teachers according to individual factors; and 3) to study the elements that influence the effectiveness of teaching and learning management. The samples used in the research were 302 teachers in Hechuan College, China during the 2020 academic year. The data were evaluated using statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. The following were the outcomes: 1) The levels of variables such as teacher proficiency, lesson content, and student engagement in learning and teaching management during the COVID-19 outbreak were moderate, whereas the levels of networking and information technology factors were low. Teaching and learning management effectiveness was found to be low, resulting in students having low academic achievement and moderately desirable characteristics. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in teaching and learning management effectiveness based on teachers' gender, age, education, teaching experience, or academic standing. The factors that significantly influenced the effectiveness of teaching and learning management, in order of importance, were lesson contents (ß= 0.58), networking and information technology (ß= 0.30), teachers (ß= 0.26), and students (ß= 0.12).
