Thematic analysis of the interview results unveiled a series of stages, including a different start of the school year and reintegration of online management skills that eventually led to autonomy in online classes and satisfying academic outcomes. Further exploration of the quantitative aspect of the study revealed that they have very good management, which has led to a good effect on students' performance. The different innovations in classroom management strategies by science teachers led to effective online classes. Training on proactive management and positive feedbacking are recommended.</span>
