Difference Between Online and Classroom Lesson Plan Performances in Creativity and Metacognition During the COVID-19 Outbreak

• In Event: Recognizing the Impact of COVID-19 Across a Range of Online Instructional Contexts

Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis has forced education systems around the world to hurriedly switch from learning in class to online learning. Coping adaptively with these challenges requires teachers to apply 21st-century skills such as creativity and metacognition, in their teaching. The purpose of the present study is to examine whether teachers integrate metacognition and creativity in their online lessons more than in classroom instruction by analyzing 50 lesson reports. The results show that teachers reported greater use of the 'debugging' metacognitive component and that the online environment can provide a suitable platform for promoting students' learning process and encourage teachers to be more creative. These results can contribute to the literature dealing with the integration of 21st-century skills in online teaching.
