Abstract

The Covid-19 virus prompted a considerable population of teachers to leave China in the Spring of 2020. After traveling back to home countries, many were charged with continuing instruction of Chinese school children from a distance. This research reports on a mixed-methods approach to investigating the inherent challenges accompanying drastic changes in pedagogy experienced by a convenience sample of teachers.
