Abstract:

Primary and secondary school teachers were pushed to the forefront of online teaching by the Covid-19 pandemic. There is a public concern about their teaching performance and effect. This study is based on the large-scale online teaching survey authorized by Jiangsu Education Department. Descriptive statistical analysis and multi-linear regression analysis were carried out on high-performing teachers from 180,965 valid teacher questionnaires and found that high-performing teachers who are experienced in online teaching, have good psychological status, and can adapt to online teaching quickly. They are more flexible in online teaching, emphasizing students’ independent learning ability development. They have diverse needs in online teaching, focusing on online learning environment and resources. There are significant differences among the following three types of teachers: actively competent, adaptive-achieving, and stress-achieving. Accordingly, the following suggestions are made: to play the cascading effect of teachers’ online teaching ability improvement; to precisely target teacher training and promote the regularization of blended teaching; to provide targeted support to outstanding teachers.

Key words: classes suspended but learning continue, online teaching, high-performing teachers
