A New Paradigm for Higher Education: Unraveling the Complexities of Online Learning Efficiency Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…There is also no professional team to develop and produce teaching resources like online education institutions. It can be said that the defects of teachers' ability structure, lack of necessary training and division of labour and cooperation are the profound reasons leading to the poor effect of online teaching (Yang, 2020). Another factor that researchers generally agree affects teaching effectiveness is teachers' teaching methods.…”

“…Another factor that researchers generally agree affects teaching effectiveness is teachers' teaching methods. Yang (2020) pointed out that the essential difference between online and offline teaching requires teachers to adopt teaching methods that are different from traditional ones and suitable for online teaching. Instead of simply copying what is taught offline and expecting the same results, teachers must find ways to increase students' attention to ensure the quality of teaching.…”

“…In addition to adopting methods different from traditional offline teaching, teachers also need to adopt unique teaching methods in the face of other subjects, grades and students' diverse needs; teachers face more significant challenges in teaching strategies to use in online teaching (Doucet et al, 2020). According to Yang (2020), the teaching content of some majors is very limited in online platform teaching, and the existing online teaching methods may not be suitable for the teaching content of these majors. Taking art education in primary education as an example, music class is not only about learning a song but more about feeling the atmosphere of singing together.…”

“…Online courses on the market provide various practical and efficient e-learning tools for teachers and students. Online education platforms have played a crucial role during the COVID-19 pandemic (Subedi et al, 2020).The development of information transmission technology, so that online classrooms in sound, screen, interaction and other aspects than more than a decade ago has made significant progress, not only can be comparable with offline courses but at the same time with the elimination of geographical barriers, time differences and other offline courses do not have the advantage (Yang, 2020). However, there are too many choices of online education platforms, which will also bring trouble to teachers and students in the teaching process of online courses (Pokhrel & Chhetri, 2021).…”

“…Although online education platforms and teachers' teaching skills and methods are important factors affecting the learning efficiency of online courses, the most critical factor is still the students themselves as the subject. Learning-centred is to give full play to the principal role of students so that students not only master knowledge but also learn to update knowledge and acquire new abilities to adapt to the accelerating change of the world (Yang, 2020).…”
