Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic has altered the educational technology landscape and made Web 2.0 tools' potential for online instruction more apparent. This study uses the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior (DTPB) paradigm to examine teachers’ perceptions of Web 2.0 tools and online learning. The study aims to investigate and advance the expanding body of research on teachers' perceptions of Web 2.0 tools' potential to increase student participation in the classroom. The research questions examine how ready instructors are to utilize Web 2.0 tools, how they feel about using them, how perceived behavioral control variables affect their intents, and how subjective norms impact the adoption of these technologies. Web 2.0 platforms like Nearpod, Blogger, and YouTube are a few examples that have let teachers continue teaching via distance learning during the pandemic. This study sheds light on the adoption and use of Web 2.0 tools in boosting student engagement and enhancing classroom learning by looking into these research issues.
