ABSTRACT
Recently, the unfortunate Covid-19 shutdown had a detrimental effect on the quality of education, which has been the subject of new literature and policy debates worldwide. Thus, the current study investigates the effect of instructors' efficacy in utilizing a learning management system (LMS) and research engine on the educational quality in Jordan's public institutions. Additionally, this work examines the moderating effect of institutional support on the association between instructors' efficacy in using LMS and research engines and the quality of education at Jordan's public universities. The current paper collected data via survey questionnaires and used smart-PLS to verify the linkage understudy constructions. The findings suggested that teachers' ability to utilise a learning management system and a research engine had a strong and favourable relationship with educational quality. Additionally, the data indicated that institutional support has a strong moderating effect on the relationship between teachers' efficacy in using LMS and research engines and the quality of education in Jordan's public universities. This study is significant for regulators as they develop guidelines governing the efficacy of teachers and the quality of education at institutions. © 2021 Ani Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Homeschooling has acquired global attention due to the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, and its success will require the regulators' attention and the focus of new researchers. Thus, the current paper examines the effect of students' willingness to embrace a new educational system and teachers' capacity to adopt a new educational system on the success of the Jordanian homeschooling system. Additionally, this study explores the mediating function of improved learning ability in the relationship between students' desire to accept a new education system, instructors' ability to adopt a new education system, and the success of Jordan's homeschooling system. Primary data were collected by surveys and analysed using smart-PLS. The findings revealed a favourable correlation between students' desire to embrace a new education system and teachers' capacity to adopt a new education system and the success of the homeschooling system. Additionally, the data revealed that enhanced learning capacity plays a key role in mediating the relationship between students' desire to accept a new education system, teachers' ability to adopt a new education system, and the effectiveness of Jordan's homeschooling system. © 2021 Ani Publishing Ltd.
