An empirical study of student perception towards pedagogy, teaching style and effectiveness of online classes

Abstract

PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH: With online education taking centerstage in recent times, the primary objective of this study is to find out the student perception of online classes from teachers who had no past experience of online teaching, with respect to their teaching effectiveness, teaching style and pedagogy in an online classroom. This study is exploratory in nature. Using a structured questionnaire, 356 completed responses were received and analysed using the available research tools. PRINCIPLE RESULTS: The dynamics of education have changed overnight. The findings of the study indicate that pedagogy, teaching style and teaching effectiveness significantly affect student perception towards online classes by first time online teachers. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS: The role of the teachers has changed drastically and there is a need for them to prepare themselves for the new normal using the suitable pedagogical tools for creating an effective online classroom.
