Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical competence of elementary school teachers in managing online classes during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Kota Timur Selatan sub-district, Gorontalo City. Employing a mixed-method approach, data were gathered from 59 teachers through observations, questionnaires, and documentation to assess their effectiveness in online teaching. Quantitative descriptive analysis shows that teachers' pedagogical competence in online learning remains relatively low, with an overall effectiveness value of just 6.4% and a frequency rate of 64.64%. The findings emphasize significant challenges faced by teachers in adapting to online teaching methods, such as difficulties in delivering materials, engaging students, and utilizing online platforms. The study underscores the need for improved teacher training programs focused on enhancing pedagogical skills in virtual environments, particularly during crisis situations like the pandemic. These improvements are crucial for ensuring quality education and better student outcomes in online learning settings.
