Teachers' Perception, Attitude, and Work Environment Readiness towards Digital Technologies in Post-Pandemic HyFlex Teaching
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Integrating digital technologies into education has revolutionized the teaching and learning landscape, with HyFlex teaching emerging as an innovative model combining in-person and online instruction to offer students flexibility in learning. It allows students to choose between attending physical classes, participating in online sessions, or accessing recorded materials at their own pace. This study assessed teachers' perceptions, attitudes, and work environment readiness toward digital technologies in HyFlex teaching. The study employed a descriptive correlational research design, surveying 539 teachers actively engaged in HyFlex teaching within the Higher Education Institutions. Findings indicate a predominantly female cohort of teachers, representing 75% of the respondents. Laptops are the most widely used devices, with Google Classroom emerging as the preferred e-learning web-based application, streamlining communication and interactive engagement. There is a significant positive correlation between years of experience and teachers' perceived ease of working with computers and technical equipment in a HyFlex teaching environment; years of experience do not have a significant influence on other aspects of teachers' self-perceived attitudes, such as their competence with the Internet, openness to new technology, or involvement in social networks. The study underscored ongoing professional development's importance in enhancing teachers' digital competence. Mentorship programs facilitate knowledge-sharing and collaboration among teachers. Sustained long-term support is crucial for building teachers' competence in using digital technologies effectively in HyFlex teaching. Implementing these recommendations can create a technology-enabled teaching and learning environment that promotes engagement, collaboration, and effective learning experiences for teachers and students in the HyFlex setting.
