Comparative Views on Parent’s and Teacher’s Responsibilities toward Online Teaching and Learning

Abstract

Online teaching and learning have been implemented in our education due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Teachers and parents have faced challenges and changes in ensuring the children's education by utilising online teaching and learning. Teachers and parents, appear to have different preferences when it comes to their responsibilities. Our goal is to identify differences and similarities in parents' and teachers' views on the responsibilities of online teaching and learning for their children/students. The target samples in this study are parents who have children in primary education and school teachers. Findings show that most views assessed are different between parents and teachers. This gives insight on the preference of aid or assistance that should be provided by the government to support online teaching and learning in school.
