The Reality of Online Education and its Obstacles from the Perspectives of Resources Rooms Teachers in Amman Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This study explored the reality of the application of online education from the perspectives of resource room teachers and the obstacles they faced during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in private schools in the capital, Amman. The study also investigated the effect of the variables of the teacher's experience and the type of student's disability on the participants' point of view. The study used the analytical descriptive approach and developed a scale consisting of 35 items distributed into two parts. The first section aimed to collect demographic data on the study sample, and the second section consisted of two areas, the first dealing with the degree of application of online education, and the second field, obstacles to the application of online education. The study sample consisted of 120 male and female teachers of resource rooms in Amman. The results of the study indicated that there is an average level in the degree of online learning application from the point of view of resource room teachers in Amman schools during the Corona pandemic. The degree of obstacles to the application of online learning was at an average level. The researcher recommended the need for conducting more studies on the reality of applying online learning with students with disabilities and their teachers during the Corona pandemic in government schools and UNRWA schools.
