Abstract
This paper investigated extent of teachers’
awareness of the use of online teaching methods in
a post covid-19 era in Rivers State. Three research questions and three
hypotheses in line with the objectives guided the study. It was a descriptive
survey design with the population of 6,956 teachers from 278 public secondary
schools in Rivers state. The sample of 200 teachers (100 rural and 100 urban), were
selected using purposive and stratified random sampling techniques. A
questionnaire titled ‘Teachers’ Awareness in the Use of Online Teaching Methods
Questionnaire’ (TAUOTMQ), constructed on a four-point scale was used. Research
questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while z-test was used
to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings among others
showed that teachers’ awareness of the use of online teaching methods is very
low, that there are challenges against secondary school teachers in the use of
online methods of teaching among which is not being trained in the use of ICT, and
that there is significant difference between rural and urban teachers on their
awareness of the use of online methods of teaching. It was concluded that
secondary school teachers’ awareness of the use of online methods of teaching
is very low. Based on the findings it was therefore recommended among others that
government should begin the training of teachers on how to use e- learning
facilities to conduct teaching and learning process in digital classroom
environment so that teachers can face any emergency without fear in this post Covid-19
era.
