Teachers’ Satisfaction with Online Teaching: A Study of Private Senior-Secondary Schools in Delhi

Abstract

Purpose: The emerging literature on the importance of faculty satisfaction with online teaching piqued our interest in studying faculty satisfaction in the context of senior-secondary schools in Delhi imparting online education currently. As teachers play such an essential role in student satisfaction, many researchers believe that increasing work satisfaction among school teachers is one of the most excellent strategies to improve student contentment with their online learning experiences. The survey was conducted using the Likert Scale on 90 teachers teaching at private senior-secondary schools in Delhi. The respondents were selected randomly from 20 private schools in Delhi. The first objective of this study is to determine the level of student-teacher relationships (STR), adequate training (AT), Institutional support (IS), technical support (TS), online course design and development (OCDD), and User-friendliness of online tools (UOT). Secondly, this study tries to identify the relationship between student-teacher relationships (STR), adequate training (AT), Institutional support (IS), technical support (TS), online course design and development (OCDD), and User-friendliness of online tools (UOT) with the overall satisfaction of teachers with online teaching. A correlation analysis was conducted to identify the relationships mentioned earlier. Further, a regression analysis was carried out to identify the contribution of the STR, AT, IS, TS, OCDD, UOT towards the overall satisfaction of teachers with online teaching (OS). The data were analyzed using SPSS software. All variables correlate positively with overall satisfaction; OCDD and UOT were the main predictors of our model and can reliably explain the variance in teachers’ overall satisfaction with online teaching. The findings of this study provide insights into how course development and online teaching tools are essential for teachers’ satisfaction with online teaching.
