Teachers' roles in secondary level online classroom in Bangladesh

Abstract

This study is focused on the role of teachers in online classes. It examines how teachers should engage the students in an online classroom for producing better output. Structured interview questions were formed for teachers' interviews. Again, an open-ended and opinion-based questionnaire online survey is for the students to collect information for analysis. Data analysis started with organizing the data, then gradually by exploring and coding them, as Creswell (2012) mentioned. The study has found that teachers try to make the classes interesting for the students. As the students have a lack of concentration, lack of interaction with teachers, and teachers cannot always make the classes interesting and interactive so the students become bored with hearing the monotonous lectures. Finally, it suggests overcoming the problems for getting a better output by engaging the students in the online class.
