Exploration of Faculty Attitude towards Integration of Web 2.0 into Instructional Practices at University Level during Pandemic

Abstract

    The use of web 2.0 technology, such as social media tools, learning management systems,and presentation software, etc. has brought many changes in education in the recent era of pandemics.To examine the faculty attitude towards the integration of Web 2.0 technology was the target of the study. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used, and 125 university instructors were taken conveniently from the disciplines of social science, management science, and basic science. The necessary data was gathered using an attitude scale that was created by Christensen and Kenezek (2009). According to the findings of the study, age disparity, gender, and experience posed no problem in the integration of Web 2.0 technology. The overall positive attitude of the faculty implies the provision of advanced technology as well as professional development courses provided by the institutions to enhance the capabilities of faculty to cope with any further crisis.
