In early 2020, the Covid-19 virus hit many places, including New York City, with such a force that nobody could have foreseen the events following its spread. The education system was pushed to transition itself to meet with 21st century technology. This study explores this disruption in the education system and how middle school teachers in several New York counties responded. What are middle school teachers’ perspectives and practices during the rapid switch to remote teaching? Professor and graduate students in a Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment class on middle level schooling designed the interview protocol focused on five related areas of the remote learning endeavor: 1) Preparation, 2) Teaching, Learning, and Participation, 3) Social and Emotional effects on Students, 4) Monitoring and Assessment, 5) Looking forward. The findings demonstrate a primarily reactive response and limited preparation. Teachers express a mixed review of successes and struggles with online teaching and the challenges of engagement, participation, and meeting the social emotional needs of restless students who sometimes do not have the parent support or the technological devices that could further assist their success with online learning. Each teacher had their own unique experiences and challenges teaching students through a computer screen.

Education Process

Abstract India is facing a big challenge to continue uninterrupted higher education process after COVID-19 situation. Students come from heterogeneous socio-economic strata. Many are susceptible to the contagious disease because of their mal-nutritious condition, co-morbid situation like juvenile diabetes etc. We have elderly (60–65 years age) teachers also who are in vulnerable situation. So, we need specific and extremely cautious future planning to protect the lives of our future generations from this pandemic morbidity along with their progress in education so that they can keep pace with the tide of education process as in some other countries of the world. This study aims to explore the lived experience of the teachers of the higher education institutes of the state of West-Bengal, India to gain a deeper understanding of their individual experiences and future planning regarding higher education system in mind. Phenomenological approach of Moustake with pragmatic world view along with interpretive lens is used here. Through Purposive sampling method 12 study participants are identified. Participants are theteachers of different urban, suburban and rural colleges in West Bengal who had experienced a sudden turmoil in teaching-learning interaction due to prolonged emergency lockdown from March’2020 to combat COVID-19.In-depth interviews with consented call-recorded over telephone were conducted to collect primary dataduring April 2020. Participant observation also used for data collection. Fear of infection, even death and uncertainty haunted both teachers and students lead to the half-hearted motivation to study. Majority of the faculties felt awkward to teach through online method as they are new to it. During teaching there were many problems faced like insufficient data consumption power by many students, lack of required smart phone, frequent network failure. Majority of students are generally spoon fed by their private tutors. Participants supported the physical classes could not give the feasible suggestion to maintain social distance and personal protection in campus and public transport system. Some told about the herd immunity also. Some firmly supported online mode of teaching as the only safe way to teach now. Teaching-learning from home is cost efficient (direct and indirect cost), time efficient, space efficient, surveillance efficient. It has time flexibility. It also has productivity efficiency as less physical movement perhaps increases intellectual productivity. More quality time spending with the family increases happiness index. Even after the pandemic situation this online mode of education will be best suited for the holistic development of society. Single online platform should be used countrywide and teachers and students should adopt slowly to the new system for the sake of safety of majority of people. Government should subsidize data for academic websites, provide cheap smart phones to the students, focus on infrastructure of internet network. Students can be motivated through one to one telephonic conversation also. Only laboratory-based classes can be taken physically fragmenting the entire class into suitable sections. If the online teaching, learning, examination infrastructure cannot be developed in time extension of semester duration can be considered. But no physical classes should be allowed till we feel fully protected from the virus.

Monitoring Phase

The system of relationships and emotions that develop in the teaching-learning process define the complexity of teachers' education and pose the challenge of bringing out the emotional and affective culture that guides school life. Several studies on teaching practices highlight the tendency to refer to technical aspectsas a key dimension of professionalism, rather than on relational and emotional dimensions that can promote the relationship with student. The creative and unprecedented reconfiguration of professional practice is configured as the outcome of a reflexive process of subjective construction and de-construction of the profession and its development.The paper proposes a reflective training experience, which involved 76 teachers, focused on emotional and relational dimensions on teaching and based on the use of the narrative-autobiographical instruments (diary, narrative, metaphor). The results achieved in the monitoring phase show that the training offered an opportunity to reflect on oneself and one's personal and professional experience, starting from the use of alternative perspectives and interpretations than those that are already in use

Teaching Learning

Education today needs to be responsive to the diverse needs of our learners in order to make them globally competent. Innovative initiatives need to be brought into the present education system in order to meet the growing demands of our society. Our education system does not function in isolation with our society and so, along with academic aspects, the social aspects of learning too, have to be focussed on. This is possible with quality teaching strategies being introduced in our teaching learning process and one such strategy promoting the same is Cooperative Learning. Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups to accomplish shared goals. It is widely recognized as a teaching strategy that promotes socialization and learning among students from kindergarten through college and across different subjects and science is no exception. Science enables pupils to be involved in group work where they have the opportunity to share ideas and cooperate with each other in collaborative practical activity. What is needed today is a new wave of educated students ready for modern scientific research, teaching and technological development. With students of diverse abilities and differing rates of learning in our classrooms, it is, therefore, essential for the teacher to have the knowledge of how students learn science and how best to teach. The present study was taken up in this context to find out the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategy in science teaching.
