description | This research was conducted to assess teachers’ readiness to adopt the new model of online teaching and
learning at a state university in Zimbabwe during and post covid-19 pandemic. This was prompted by the fact
that most institutions of learning were forced to adopt online learning as a replacement to the traditional face-
to-face classroom model in response to persistent lockdowns without assessing their readiness from various
ways such as teachers’ and students’ readiness. The quantitative research approach was adopted and data was
collected through structured and guided questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics from SPSS were
used for data analysis. The major findings are that teachers are prepared to shift from face-to-face mode of
learning to online learning and they do possess skills required for conducting online lectures. Teachers are
developing a positive attitude towards the new norm, but more training is needed particularly on advanced
computer skills. |
