Description
40th WAIER Annual Research Forum: ConnectED: Past, Present, Future. Our presentation entitled "From screens to classroom scenes: Teacher agency in post-pandemic digital teaching" explored how nine Indonesian EFL teachers exercised agency in post-pandemic digital teaching. Using narrative inquiry, it gathered their experiences through semi-structured interviews with visual prompts. Data were analysed thematically following Braun and Clarke's (2022) approach, generating two key themes. The first theme, "purposefully sustaining digital tools to enrich in-class learning", emphasised teachers' purposeful efforts to retain digital tools employed during the distance teaching period to enhance their in-person learning. The second theme, "thoughtfully moderating digital tool use to prioritise in-person learning", revealed teachers' deliberate adjustment on their technology use, prioritising pedagogical relevance and addressing concerns about student development. This study offers insights into the lasting impact of the pandemic on teacher agency and highlights the importance of valuing teachers' lived experiences in shaping the future of digital teaching.| Period | 16 Aug 2025 |
