Towards effective virtual teaching and learning: polytechnic lecturers’ perceived barriers.

In the wake of the emergency COVID-19 outbreak, the dependency on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is now widely acclaimed for its ability to support educational reform and development. Without exception, in Malaysia's polytechnic institutions, the transformation of virtual teachi...

Saipudin, Nurul Ain Suhairom, Nornazira Saipudin, Noorul Amilin H Social Sciences (General) In the wake of the emergency COVID-19 outbreak, the dependency on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is now widely acclaimed for its ability to support educational reform and development. Without exception, in Malaysia's polytechnic institutions, the transformation of virtual teaching and learning through the integration of ICT for the topic of engineering science is growing day by day. Despite the fact that this subject requires critical theoretical, calculation, and laboratory activities, very little is understood about the polytechnic lecturers’ barriers to conducting an effective virtual class for this subject.

Thus, to address these perceived barriers, the present paper is set out to explore the perceptions of three purposefully selected senior lecturers who had more than 10 years of teaching experience and practices engineering science-related topics from Politeknik Tuanku Sultanah Bahiyah, Kulim Kedah. The in-depth interviews were transcribed and analysed using qualitative thematic analysis. The findings present the lecturers' insights into the troubling barriers for effective virtual teaching and learning in the polytechnic institution.
