Difficulties Faced by English Teachers in e-learning: A Comparative Study Among Teachers of Palestinian and the Occupied Palestinian Territories Schools

This comparative paper has made a number of significant contributions to the field of e-learning. The paper explored the difficulties of using e-learning among teachers in Palestine and Occupied Palestine Territories. This paper is based on four questions and four hypotheses were formulated. For data collection, the researchers used a questionnaire. Thee Statistical Package for the Humanities (SPSS V. 23) is used for analyzing the data. Our results go beyond previous reports, showing that teachers in both areas face tremendous difficulties related to the student themselves and the subject itself. However, our results are opposite to the findings of the study of Al- Subaie (2017) and Al-Harash, Mufleh, and Al-Dahon (2010), which showed that the difficulties related to hardware and software are the most noticed obstacles. Planned comparisons also revealed that there are no differences in the degree of teachers' use of e-learning. Even though we did not replicate the previously reported studies in 2020 and 2021, our results state that there were differences due to the place variable in favor of West Bank teachers. The paper recommends teachers reduce the burdens in the classroom to encourage students to focus during e-learning. Future investigations are necessary to validate the kinds of conclusions that can be drawn from this study. Future studies could fruitfully explore this issue further by conducting a study on teachers’ competencies related to e-learning between the aforementioned areas.
