Abstract:
Educational institutions were compelled to use the world of cyberspace, specifically through the Internet as its main infrastructure, to “effectively” transmit knowledge to the learners in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is in this light that this study investigated the attitudes of elementary school teachers towards online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study determined the significant difference between respondents' assessment of teachers' attitudes towards online learning when grouped according to gender, age, and teaching experience of the 138 elementary school teachers from Districts 2, 3, and 4 of Manila City. The results indicate that elementary teachers felt that online learning devices could help improve the quality of their work. Contrary to this, the face-to-face learning delivery remains favorable for them. Furthermore, the results show that it is essential to continuously develop the quality of online education with the support of school administration and government to make online education more effective and accessible to all.
