  • Abstract:
  • The COVID-19 pandemic influenced nations all around the world and has had a significant impact on the education sector, with schools and universities closing down to prevent the spread of the virus. As a result, many institutions have shifted to online teaching and learning as a response to the pandemic. The abrupt switch from in-person instruction to entirely online learning activities had both advantages and disadvantages for the educational system. However, this transition has not been without challenges, particularly for teacher educators and B.Ed. students. The present paper aimed to examine the challenges faced by teacher educators and B.Ed. students while engaging in online teaching and learning activities. The present study is descriptive in nature. The data was collected through questionnaire for which Google Forms were circulated. A sample of 202 students and 30 teachers responded to the questionnaire. The results showed that students found the network issues and lack of peer interaction to be major challenges for them in online teaching learning activities, teachers found that in-person interactions, technical skills, monitoring and evaluating students, maintaining classroom discipline, and grabbing students' attention in class were the main challenges during online teaching learning activities
