Validation of a Proposed Remote Teaching Policy for Higher Education Institutions

Vol.3, No.1A

Abstract

Many changes have occurred because of the pandemic, especially in school education. In response to a crisis, the school administration may be forced to implement policies that allow employees to continue working while following government regulations. The so-called "Remote Teaching Policy," which allows teachers to continue their jobs using technology, is one of the policies that should be pushed in terms of education. This study is conducted to focus on the validation of a proposed Remote Teaching Policy for Higher Education Institutions.

The criteria for assessment were formulated to guide the study in establishing the extent of benefits of remote teaching policy to teachers as well as the respondent's guidelines for the policy. This study is delimited to Human Resource Department practitioners. Identified respondents were sent the link to the questionnaire in Google Forms to answer. The data gathered were analyzed using percentages and weighted mean to obtain the data required to answer the precise questions posed in the statement of the problem. This study uses descriptive research with a purposive sampling technique to help the researchers make the most out of a small population of interest and arrive at valuable research outcomes. 

As a result, it shows that there is no significant difference in the validity of the proposed remote teaching policy criteria in terms of policy title, purpose, scope, policy statement, guidelines, procedures, definition, frequently asked questions, contact, references, and approval when the profile is considered to gender, age, years of experience in the academe, and highest education attainment.

Higher education institutions should consider implementing a remote teaching policy that promotes their employees' safety. The researchers validated the proposed “Remote Teaching Policy” to promote and provide additional guidelines and information to teachers, their surroundings, and the use of technology when teaching remotely. Lastly, this study provides concrete proof or a solution that hopes to enlighten readers and other researchers on the importance of this research for further study and possible implementation.
