Impact of Covid-19 on Teaching-Learning Perception of Faculties and Students of Higher Education in Indian Purview

Abstract

The education system has been brought to a halt due to pandemics around the globe. This study outlines the effect of Covid-19 on the teaching-learning perception of faculties and students of higher education in India. The recent pandemic has provided an impetus for the improvements in teaching and implementation of virtual education. Given the lack of information about how long the pandemic will go on, the demand for the current crisis is a steady move to e-education. The authority has introduced several e-platforms with online shops, e-contents, and other online material. Combining conventional technology (radio, TV, landline phone) with mobile/web technologies would improve connectivity and versatility with all tools. The paper employed a quantitative method to examine the perceptions of teachers and students’ perceptions of e-teaching and e-learning methods. It underlined the application practice of online teaching-learning modes by considering 500 respondents. This study aims to give a holistic view of the ongoing online teaching-learning activities during the pandemic lockdown. The study also found no considerable difference between teacher/learner satisfaction during this academic disruption. Soil recommendations, managerial implications, future scope and conclusion can also be helpful for policymakers, academics, and content analytics to draw a plan of action for e-learning.
