Abstract
Upon the spread of the global pandemic of COVID-19, education was transformed online in an abrupt manner. Amid this change, the education sector did not have room for proper decision-making and understanding of psychological effects. This theoretical analysis aims to contribute to the proposed Frontiers Research Topic, through (a) in-depth analysis of the pandemic status and behavioral psychology and (b) examining educational psychology from the perspective of teachers regarding sudden changes. As a result, implications are suggested based on interviews, linking to extant literature. The current research recognizes the difference between online learning and emergency remote education. While the former comprises prepared means of teaching and assessment, the latter is unaccompanied by such preparedness. Thus, there are variations in the outcomes of learning, motivation, and engagement. Scholars, teachers, deans, and educational managers can benefit from current results.

Linked to self-determination theory (SDT), this lowers the sense of competence and autonomy of teachers, which negatively impacts their emotions
Summary
With the pandemic of COVID-19 surfaced, its effects were unanimously researched by experts across the world. It has been the core concern of scholars in particular (e.g., Leung et al, 2020; WHO Regional Office for Europe, 2020; de la Fuente et al, 2021). Educational psychology entails various aspects, such as the effects of COVID-19 on the development at certain stages (physical, socio-moral, motor, cognitive, and linguistic) (Liu et al, 2020), learning (CachónZagalaz et al, 2020), stress caused by changes for students, teachers, and parents (Valadez et al, 2020), changes in educational contexts, and achievement (Martarelli et al, 2021), and rise of technological means (Obrero-Gaitán et al, 2020)
