Abstract

This study explores data gathered from Year 6 subject teachers and senior administrators at a public primary school in Brunei Darussalam regarding online learning and teaching, and the transformation challenges encountered when moving from classroom education to virtual-based learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. A mixed methods approach was used, and the findings revealed there was both student learning loss and gain in the 2020 primary national school assessment. Unequal access to technology deprived disadvantaged students while internet issues showed that students experienced slow connections and inadequate internet quotas for online learning. The most significant findings were that collegial support and collaboration helped to reduce teachers’ anxiety levels, and that having digital competence was advantageous in successfully implementing technological teaching methods to support and advance education. Parental involvement in their children’s education at home was equally important as in regular schooling. The limitations of this study were that the opinions of the senior administrators and subject teachers were based on their self-reflection on evaluation, analysis and action plan; furthermore, the mixed approach reduces direct comparison with other public primary schools. Such educational challenges facing students and teachers may lead to better understanding and future research and developments in improving educational systems.
要吸取的教训?新冠肺炎疫情期间文莱一所小学在线学习情况调查
本研究探讨了从文莱达鲁萨兰国一所公立小学六年级学科教师和高级管理人员那里收集的关于在线学习和教学的数据,以及在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间从课堂教育转向基于虚拟的学习所遇到的转型挑战。研究采用了混合方法,结果显示,在2020年全国小学评估中,学生的学习既有损失,也有收获。技术的不平等剥夺了弱势学生的权利,而互联网问题表明,学生们经历了网络连接缓慢和在线学习的互联网配额不足。最重要的发现是,学院的支持和合作有助于降低教师的焦虑水平,拥有数字能力有利于成功实施技术教学方法,以支持和推进教育。父母对孩子在家教育的参与与在正规学校教育中的参与同样重要。本研究的局限性在于:高级管理人员和学科教师的意见是基于他们对评价、分析和行动计划的自我反思;此外,混合的方法减少了与其他公立小学的直接比较。学生和教师面临的这些教育挑战可能会导致更好的理解和未来的研究和发展,以改善教育系统。
