Abstract

Purpose

The pandemic's health and social issues have significantly altered the character and manner of teaching and learning in higher education across the country. The use of technology to replace or integrate face-to-face learning with online learning has become a necessary requirement for promoting and continuing learning processes. Furthermore, integrating technology is a goal of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) to make teaching and learning more innovative and sophisticated. This paper is based on a systematic review grounded in a synthesis of research papers and documents analyzing the current status of teachers' pedagogy through online learning modes in the context of Pakistan.

Design/methodology/approach

Through content analyses of academic studies in higher education and reflection on the online teaching experiences, this study discusses how students' learning is associated with teachers' teaching approaches in the modern era of digitalization and innovation.

Findings

The review and analysis suggest that online teaching is not viewed as an innovative phenomenon; rather, teachers simply teach their traditionally designed face-to-face courses through the use of technology. The paper suggests that transforming teachers' pedagogical insight to make online learning sustainable is an urgent need for higher education.

Originality/value

The analysis provides a basis for consideration of teacher learning and quality education (SDG #4) to fulfill the nation’s agenda for sustainable development. The analysis helps educators and administrators in higher education institutions reflect on their policies and practices that have short- and long-term effects on students' learning outcomes.

揭示可持续在线学习之路:在巴基斯坦应对挑战并提出解决方案
大流行病的健康和社会问题极大地改变了全国高等教育的教学特点和方式。利用技术取代面授学习或将面授学习与在线学习相结合,已成为促进和继续学习过程的必要条件。此外,整合技术也是可持续发展目标 4(SDG 4)的一个目标,目的是使教学更具创新性和复杂性。本研究通过对高等教育学术研究的内容分析和对在线教学经验的反思,探讨了在数字化和创新的现代,学生的学习如何与教师的教学方法相关联。研究结果 通过回顾和分析发现,在线教学并未被视为一种创新现象;相反,教师只是通过使用技术来教授传统设计的面授课程。本文认为,转变教师的教学洞察力,使在线学习可持续发展,是高等教育的迫切需要。该分析有助于高等教育机构的教育者和管理者反思他们的政策和做法对学生学习成果的短期和长期影响。
