Abstract:
Online teaching is becoming more and more popular in the era of the fourth industrial revolution (the 4.0 era). The covid 19 pandemic has pushed online teaching to a higher level. Previously, online teaching mainly took place at the high school level, with the target audience being adults. Although there are many benefits of teaching online such as reducing travel costs and saving time and learning space, there are still difficulties and challenges, one of which is how to organize effective online teaching hours. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the online teaching of Vietnamese primary school teachers. The exploratory factor analysis method was used to study 160 Vietnamese primary school teachers. Six factors were found to affect teachers' online teaching including time management and time commitment, technical skills, attitudes toward online learning, expectations for online classes, interactions with colleagues and online feedback. These findings can be used as a reference in other research or in a comparable scenario by interested scholars. Educators can use these findings to advocate strategies that will provide a better education. This study suggests a direction for further research on proposing effective online teaching methods
