Abstract
The present study intends to explore the challenges of teachers’ attitudes during Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) in higher educational institutions (HEIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also investigates whether teacher age is in any way a mediating factor for teacher attitude. The transformative sequential research design of mixed methods was employed on a random sample of 90 participants pooled ever since the lockdown had been announced in India (March 23, 2020). The qualitative data (text), thus obtained, has been categorized into six challenges, sorted into categories, and transformed into quantitative data (code) for the Chi-square test and interpretation. The Chi-square test confirms no significant association between challenges in ERT identified by teachers’ attitudes and teachers’ ages. The study discusses the challenges felt by teachers and the probable ways of mitigation them for running remote teaching during this pandemic.
