Keywords:

This qualitative study aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of students and teachers at PAU Excellencia Global Academy Foundation, Inc. in online teaching and learning. The study gathered data through in-depth interviews with 10 students and 10 teachers. The findings of the study revealed four main themes: (1) advantages of online teaching and learning, (2) challenges of online teaching and learning, (3) pedagogical strategies for online teaching and learning, and (4) recommendations for improving online teaching and learning. The participants identified several advantages of online teaching and learning, including flexibility, convenience, and accessibility. Participants also noted that online learning can be more cost-effective than traditional classroom-based learning. However, participants also identified several challenges, such as technical difficulties and poor internet connectivity, as well as the potential for isolation and the lack of face-to-face interaction. To address these challenges, participants recommended the use of effective communication and feedback, as well as the use of multimedia tools to enhance student engagement. Teachers also emphasized the importance of creating engaging online content that encourages student participation and active learning. Participants suggested the implementation of regular check-ins with students and the provision of academic support and resources. These findings provide valuable insights into the perspectives and experiences of students and teachers in online teaching and learning and can inform the development of effective online teaching and learning systems at PAU and other educational institutions in the Philippines.
