Abstract :

The aim of this study was to investigate the teaching experiences of teachers in cyberspace at the beginning of the coronary quarantine period. The required data were collected through the implementation of an open-ended questionnaire in cyberspace (shad system and teachers' social networks). Teachers' narratives were extracted using software (MAXQDA) analysis, summarization, classification (open, axial and selective coding) and main themes. Two general themes (preparing for the transition from face-to-face pedagogy to virtual / virtual education implementation) and six categories (entering cyberspace / inviting to a virtual class / virtual teaching / virtual homework / evaluating virtual academic achievement / parental cooperation in virtual teaching) Obtained. Findings show that at the beginning of changing their teaching practice from face to face, teachers have simulated their usual educational pattern in cyberspace and have not paid enough attention to the pedagogical knowledge and principles of teaching in cyberspace. There was also widespread pessimism about the quality and effectiveness of e-learning among teachers.
