Abstract

This study analyzed the content of YouTube news clips on elderly teachers concerning emergency online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using traditional content analysis, the included news videos were transcribed, interview segments were translated and familiarized, dominant words were identified, data were coded, categorized, and themed. Four dominant words were highlighted: online, students, teachers, and pandemic. Three themes on technical challenges and support needs, health issues, and resilience emerged in the analysis. Results show that elderly teachers are persistent to adapt to emergency online learning despite the struggles they are facing. The analysis also highlights the negative effects of the sudden shift to emergency online learning on the physical and psychological health of elderly teachers. Furthermore, the elderly teachers, are ensuring students’ access to education even at their own cost. Implications to the country’s quality of education and suggestions of providing better technical and psychological health support to elderly teachers were presented.

技术生存:菲律宾2019冠状病毒病大流行期间老年教师对紧急在线学习的看法

本研究分析了新冠肺炎大流行期间YouTube上老年教师应急在线学习新闻短片的内容。采用传统的内容分析方法，对纳入的新闻视频进行转录，对采访片段进行翻译和熟悉，识别优势词，对数据进行编码、分类和主题化。重点突出了四个关键词:在线、学生、教师和流行病。分析中出现了关于技术挑战和支助需求、健康问题和复原力的三个主题。结果表明，尽管面临困境，老年教师仍坚持适应紧急在线学习。分析还强调了突然转向紧急在线学习对老年教师身心健康的负面影响。此外，老年教师甚至自费确保学生接受教育的机会。会议提出了对国家教育质量的影响，并建议为老年教师提供更好的技术和心理健康支持。
