Answer (1)
Answer:Study Plan: Academic Adjustments of Teachers and Students on Learning Delivery Modes during COVID-19 PandemicStep 1: Literature Review1. Review existing research on academic adjustments during the pandemic.2. Identify key themes, challenges, and areas of focus.Step 2: Research Design1. Mixed-Methods Approach: Combine quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (interviews, focus groups) data collection.2. Population: Teachers and students from various educational institutions.Step 3: Data Collection1. Surveys:- Online questionnaires for teachers and students.- Questions on:- Demographics- Learning delivery modes (online, blended, etc.)- Challenges faced- Adaptations made- Use Likert scales, multiple-choice, and open-ended questions.2.
