The COVID-19 pandemic has
catalyzed a significant shift in educational paradigms worldwide, necessitating
rapid adaptation to blended learning approaches encompassing remote, hybrid,
and socially distanced teaching modalities. This study investigates the
challenges encountered by educators within the context of blended learning,
particularly amidst the pandemic, while examining the influence of
self-efficacy, technological proficiency, and goal-setting behaviors on teacher
performance. Grounded in Albert Bandura's seminal self-efficacy framework, the
research aims to unravel the intricate dynamics shaping teachers' beliefs in
their instructional capabilities, their adeptness with technology, and their
efficacy in goal attainment to foster student engagement and optimize learning
outcomes. Through empirical analysis and situational assessments, this study
offers insights into the coping mechanisms employed by teachers amidst
unprecedented educational disruptions, shedding light on strategies to enhance
their effectiveness within blended learning environments. By addressing the
lacuna of post-pandemic data collection, this research contributes to a nuanced
understanding of the evolving landscape of teaching practices and provides
actionable recommendations for educational stakeholders and policymakers
seeking to bolster resilience and efficacy among educators in the face of
ongoing challenges.
