A Longitudinal Study: How Prepared Did Educators Feel They Were, to Teach Virtual—Prior, During, and After the COVID-19 Pandemic Quarantine?
Our longitudinal study that examined 299 educators’ perspective, directly, on how prepared they felt they were to teach virtual prior to the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine (i.e., March of 2020) until the end of the academic year of 2021-2022 (i.e., June 2022) found the majority of educators (70.3%) stated “No” to “Did you receive additional training from your educational institution prior to start of COVID-19 pandemic quarantine (i.e., March of 2020)?”. Therefore, the majority of educators were not prepared to teach during COVID-19 pandemic quarantine.
