The COVID-19 pandemic has an enormous impact on human life. In the context of education, information technology (IT) has taken the role of the classroom through online teaching. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to explore teachers’ perception of the concept of home-based teaching and its implementation. This study applied a qualitative research methodology where semi-structured interviews were conducted through phone calls involving several primary school teachers in Perlis, Malaysia. The study found that the teachers understood the concept of home-based teaching and obtained adequate information for the purpose of teaching from responsible parties. Teachers also implemented their home-based teaching through various platforms such as Google Meet, WhatsApp, and Telegram with varied teaching methodologies to ensure smooth teaching processes. This study emphasizes that effective communication, training, collaboration, creativity and constructive feedback are pertinent to ensure effective implementation of home-based teaching and learning.
