Abstract:

Technological advancements have redefined the educational landscape, solidifying the "new normal" where online education complements traditional and blended learning approaches. Understanding teachers’ perspectives on the features and benefits of online educational tools is critical in navigating this evolving environment. This study investigates the perceived impact of online facilities in modern education, focusing on how these perceptions vary across teacher demographics. The findings reveal four key insights: (1) teachers perceive the features and benefits of online facilities as having a very high impact in the context of the new normal; (2) these perceptions significantly vary based on teachers’ professional positions; (3) no significant differences are observed when teachers are grouped by school type; and (4) the benefits of online facilities have a notable impact when teachers are categorized by their level of education. These results suggest that online facilities play a meaningful and beneficial role for educators, reinforcing their value in the post-pandemic educational framework.
