Objective
This study examines the perspectives of university lecturers in Palestine regarding the use of virtual classrooms in higher education, focusing on their preferences, satisfaction, perceived effectiveness, and the challenges faced.
Methodology
A cross-sectional mixed-methods design was employed from January 10 to February 13, 2023. Quantitative data were collected using a structured online questionnaire containing 33 closed-ended questions, targeting 311 university lecturers across Palestinian institutions. Qualitative insights were gathered through follow-up interviews. Statistical analysis was conducted using the R cran program, applying the Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test to assess differences based on demographic variables.
Results
Findings indicate that 71.4% of lecturers preferred virtual classrooms due to their structured nature and alignment with deadlines. Significant differences in preferences were observed among lecturers based on age, technological experience, and participation in training. Lecturers aged 25–30 showed the highest preference and satisfaction levels (mean= 3.96, p= 0.01). Those who received training demonstrated higher satisfaction (mean= 3.6) compared to those who had not (mean= 2.91, p< 0.001). Despite general acceptance, 28.6% of lecturers experienced issues during distance teaching, particularly challenges related to curriculum delivery, student engagement, and technological limitations. These factors contributed to stress for 35.7% of respondents.
Recommendations
To improve the virtual learning experience, Palestinian universities should invest in reliable internet and electricity infrastructure, provide ongoing digital training for faculty, and adapt curricula for online formats. Additionally, offering technical and psychological support to educators and students is essential for sustainable and effective virtual education.
