| Summary: | This study examines the perception of mathematics teachers at a Johor vocational college on Home-Based Teaching and Learning (HBTL) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Past research has found out that most teachers are effectively able to conduct online classes. However, the teachers also face difficulties during online classes. This study was conducted to evaluate teacher efficacy in terms of knowledge and skills, instructional strategies, access to technology and motivation. This study also aims to evaluate the challenges in terms of technical barriers, student participation, student situation and online teaching experiences. This study is only limited to vocational college teachers who teach mathematics in Johor. This study used a quantitative survey-based research methodology. The survey's respondents were 46 mathematics teachers at 12 vocational colleges in Johor. The respondents were purposively selected. The 5-point Likert scale was used for the data collection. The data was analysed by using the median value. The findings indicate that the overall median value for teacher efficacy in online teaching is 4.00. Generally, this value indicates the effectiveness in terms of knowledge and abilities, instructional approach, access to technology, and motivation among the respondents. The total median score for challenges faced by the teachers is 4.00, which indicates that most respondents have difficulties with technological barriers, student participation, student circumstances, and online teaching experiences. In conclusion, the teachers need to be ready for online teaching in order to ensure that the HBTL can successfully be implemented and managed during the COVID-19 pandemic period. |
