Learning Skills Gained in the Time of Covid 19 - A survey of educators’ responses

Queen Rania Teacher Academy designed and conducted a research study to explore the skills acquired by students in Jordan through distance learning during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The emphasis of the questionnaire was on the core skills and competencies required to meet the evolving needs of learners and to prepare them for the future job market. Questionnaire aimed to deepen our understanding of how distance learning developed students’ skills, what skills are considered essential and need to be integrated in education to prepare students for the future. Through closed and open questions, we have explored educators’ views in Jordan of their professional experiences of distance teaching and learning and the challenges they faced in these exceptional circumstances. With 981 respondents from both, private and public schools, we have gathered a broad view of responses. The outcomes of this research will help key stakeholders support remote education and will inform policymakers, teachers, and school principals how best to support this type of learning as well as to allocate resources and adjust the system for the developments of the future
