Abstract

The current study aims to analyse school leaders' understanding and expectation of, and support for, online teaching and learning during and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA) framework, the authors designed a questionnaire and collected 319 responses from school principals about their views on online teaching and learning. Structural equation modelling revealed that principals' understanding was significantly associated with their expectations and support. Together with a thematic analysis, this study indicated that school principals understood online teaching and learning. The most expected item was students' ownership and access to a suitable device for online learning. Principals were willing to support students' self-regulated learning through online teaching. They appealed for more support for the infrastructure needed to ensure teachers' and students' privacy and security in online teaching and learning. They had suggestions for teacher development to tackle learner diversity in the online mode.

新冠肺炎疫情爆发后校长对学校在线教学的看法

本研究旨在分析学校领导在新冠肺炎疫情爆发期间和之后对在线教学的理解、期望和支持。基于理性行为理论(TRA)框架，作者设计了一份调查问卷，收集了319名学校校长对网络教学的看法。结构方程模型显示，校长的理解与他们的期望和支持显著相关。结合专题分析，本研究显示学校校长了解线上教学。最令人期待的是学生拥有和使用合适的在线学习设备。校长们愿意通过网络教学支持学生自主学习。他们呼吁为确保教师和学生在线教学的隐私和安全所需的基础设施提供更多支持。他们对教师发展提出了建议，以解决在线模式下学习者多样性的问题。
