Developing through Merits and Demerits: A Literature Review of Online Classroom, Teaching Motivation and Teaching Methods in China Primary School

Yi Zhao, Sanitah Mohd Yusof, Mingyu Hou

Abstract


The objectives of this study were to investigate current issues in online classrooms and examine solutions proposed in past research. Furthermore, this study analyses the teaching motivation and teaching methods used in online classrooms in primary schools in China. This research utilised a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology with six procedures. The articles have been sourced from popular databases like CNKI, Baidu Scholar, Google Scholar, and Eric. The main problem in online classrooms lies in the decrease in and change of interaction between teachers and students. It ultimately leads to three main types of positive phenomena: a reduced effectiveness of teaching and learning, a sense of isolation, and a lack of feedback. The solutions of the researchers can be classified into two categories: Educational technology innovation, and Teaching innovation. The former emphasizes technology and digital tools, while the latter emphasizes solving the problem from two directions: educational psychology and teaching. The findings indicate that teaching motivation and methods are crucial variables in online classrooms. Nevertheless, a significant-scale study examining the role of these two variables in online classrooms has not been carried out yet. In this study we analysed and solved relevant problems from these perspectives. In addition, we also analysed the potential relationship between teaching motivation and teaching methods from three different theoretical perspectives. Thus, we trust to contribute to future studies and offer fresh avenues for addressing numerous issues in online classroom teaching and learning.
