Paper Abstract:
|
This paper aims to share the professional development of teachers through virtual mode during COVID-19. The paper is a part of PhD research conducted by the first author, the second author is the research supervisor, and the third author is the critical friend of the first author. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was conducted in one of the rural schools of Nepal. During the time of fieldwork, the school was physically closed due to COVID-19. Even if the school was closed, the first author continued professional development sessions virtually for teachers for about one year. It was found that teachers engaged in developing several information technology-related skills which are useful for teaching. At the same time, teachers also developed projects for basic-level students, which became useful during the school closure. |
