Remote teaching has become more popular than before in Turkey as in most parts of the world because of Covid-19 pandemic. Most of the teachers and students have had some difficulties in adapting to distance education. It has been observed that the motivation of both parties might be affected by this sudden shift to online education. Although many reasons affecting teacher motivation have been identified so far, it is believed that every single study will contribute to the purpose of bettering the present EFL teaching. The current study aims to investigate the role of experience on the intrinsic motivation of EFL teachers involved in online teaching andto find out whether years of experience have an effect on teachers' intrinsic motivation. In this study, the data was compiled from 46 EFL teachers working at Istanbul Aydin University English Preparatory School. An adapted Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) questionnaire was used to gather the data. The obtained descriptive data were analyzed by using SPSS. The results of this study proved that experience does not have a significant impact on EFL teachers’ motivation teaching online.

This paper reports on initial findings from a research study of factors that enable and constrain faculty participation in online teaching and learning environments. It is noted that demand for higher education continues to grow in the United States. It is argued that the nature of the higher education student population will likely continue to transform towards a non-traditional profile. These two trends drive an increased demand for alternative routes to a college degree and have fueled dramatic growth in online learning recently. The study identifies faculty acceptance of online teaching as a critical component for future growth to meet this demand and ensure quality. Through analysis of data from 386 faculty teaching online in 36 colleges in a large state university system, the most significant factors that support and undermine motivation to teach online are identified. The top motivator is a more flexible work schedule. The top demotivator is inadequate compensation for perceived greater work than for traditionally delivered courses, especially for online course development, revision, and teaching. However, respondents in this study chose to teach online for a wide variety of reasons many of which were associated with demographic and contextual differences. These distinctions are reviewed in light of their implications for future quality of online education. Additionally, through factor analysis, underlyingconstructs for online faculty motivations are identified. Finally, recommendations are made for policy, practice, faculty development and future research.

This article examines adult online education by investigating the complex relationship between technology and community. The aim was to explore online teaching in relation to the handbook dilemma teachers meet in their teacher profession by focusing on participation and sharing opportunities. This study analysed several handbooks that aim to help teachers design and implement online education. The advice in the handbooks was contrasted against two empirical cases. Specifically, the study examined how two cases – online adult education courses and special needs teacher training courses – implemented online education with respect to participation and sharing. The analysis suggests that pedagogy is the crucial point and a planned pedagogy is absolutely necessary for designing and implementing effective online education, education that encourages participation and sharing. The findings showed that some handbooks offer meaningful guidance regarding the development of online education, but other publications were not helpful which creates a dilemma for teachers.

This chapter sets out to discover how teachers view online teaching and what they experience when teaching online. It focuses on the stories that the 44 instructors shared with me during the interviews taken for this book. A brief perusal through the literature shows reports of increased time demands, more preparation and hard work, and a need for improved technical skills are just some of the issues that online education was reported to put upon teachers. Yet, as a result of this research, new issues were found, enhancing the knowledge on this subject of online teaching; for example, the extent of the adjustments made by teachers (discussed in greater detail in Chapter VII), the skill gap in technology among teachers and students (covered in Chapter V), and the tradeoffs faced by the teachers when moving to an online educational environment.

This chapter introduces teaching philosophies that apply to music appreciation and online education, and ways in which music appreciation instructors might develop or refine a philosophy for teaching the course online that can withstand various inherent challenges. Developing a philosophy for teaching music appreciation online can support instructors by giving them purpose and clarity about instructional choices and daily online teaching. The philosophy traditionally associated with music appreciation classes, an aesthetic philosophy, is introduced, alongside the learner-centered, participatory praxial music education philosophy. Readers are provided with example philosophy statements that have guided some instructors’ approaches to teaching music appreciation and questions that can guide one’s development of a personal philosophy for teaching online music appreciation. Additional considerations for attitudes and assumptions are provided that promote success when teaching online. The idea that one’s philosophy and mindset drive the choice of methods and teaching strategies is core to this chapter. This chapter ends with a brief summary of important points and an infographic designed to visually highlight philosophical questions, mindset tips, and ways in which online music appreciation instructors can find satisfaction and identity in their roles.

The state of emergency, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, has completely changed the education system in Bulgaria, including the training of physical education and sports in Bulgarian schools. Physical education and sports training have been transformed into distance and online education and training. The aim of the research was to study the competencies of PE teachers in the country for the implementation of online teaching. The subject of the study was a total of 138 teachers, of whom 100 (72.5%) were female and 38 (27.5%) were male. The teachers were aged from 24 to 68 years old, with different pedagogical experience and were representatives of all regions of the country. A specially developed international questionnaire with closed questions was applied. Alternative analysis and chi-square Pearson's test (ײ) were used to analyze the results. The results show that the sampled teachers evaluated the current use of online education in physical education and sport as relatively good (47.1%). At the same time, the acquired results show that the educational activity of sports pedagogues during the pandemic has reduced their motivation for professional activity (43.5%). Teachers have rated as very good (29.7%) and good (45.7%) their competencies for using online technologies to conduct physical education and sports classes. The majority of them – 79%, actively applied the new technologies in the training process. No differences were found in the answers of the respondents to any of the questions on the criteria of gender, age and pedagogical experience.
