The Reality of Employing the Microsoft Application Teams in Learning Mathematics Remotely During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Palestine

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the reality of using the Microsoft application Teams in learning mathematics remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic in the governorates of northern Palestine. To achieve the objectives of this study, the researchers used the mixed (quantitative and qualitative) approach, where a questionnaire was designed, consisting of 27 items. To collect information about the reality of employing the Microsoft Teams application from the study sample, which included 1035 male and female students, from the two primary and secondary stages in Palestine, interviews were conducted with 27 teachers of mathematics working in the Ministry of Education. The results showed that using Microsoft Teams in distance learning mathematics, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the governorates of northern Palestine, was significantly high. In general, the results also showed no statistically significant differences due to the place of residence. At the same time, there were statistically significant differences due to the two variables: gender and school stage.
