Challenges faced by teaching staff during virtual learning Coronavirus Disease 2019: A narrative review

Abstract

The worldwide economy has been severely damaged by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. The education system is not shielded from the harmful impacts of lockdown, especially in South Asia. Schools and institutions have been forced to close permanently as a result, and traditional classroom instruction is being quickly replaced by online learning. This study is topical in that it explores teachers’ perceptions of online instruction and the difficulties they face when doing so during the pandemic in light of recent developments. A search of electronic databases with a specific goal in mind to find literature; a quest for reliable summaries, various sources, including books, have detailed conceptual and theoretical studies, handbooks, and gray literature; we took a look at what social experts have been working to discover the parameters that allow challenges faced by teaching staff during virtual learning. A literature search was done systematically of various journal indexes such as PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and others. The study’s findings demonstrate that, on average, teachers believe virtual education is a smart option for reducing the learning gap and shaping students’ futures during the crisis, during COVID-19. Despite this, they ran into a number of roadblocks and other issues. The educational institution’s management should provide sufficient training on learning software to teachers, allowing them to successfully instruct and lead students.
