Teaching Practice in a Shifting to Post-Covid 19 Era: A Study from Indonesian Higher Institution

Abstract

Returning to face-to-face classroom after Covid-19 pandemic does not entail reverting to pre-pandemic teaching practices. This research explores how lecturers adapted their teaching practice in post-pandemic era. The study involved 50 lecturers from 6 departments at the State Islamic Institute of Bone Indonesia, who completed an online survey. Sematic analysis reveals that the pandemic-induced shift to online learning has influenced teaching practices. While indirect delivery methods like video conferencing continue to be used, certain instructional activities that emerged during the pandemic remain relevant in face-to-face teaching. The results show that digital tools are still being used, indicating long-term acceptability of ICT in higher institution.
