Abstract
This study explores how Korean
teachers perceive the teaching presence for those who experienced
teaching Korean language in face-to-face classes as well as online.
Teaching presence is defined as the sense of learners feeling connected
to a class even in a virtual environment and being able to find the
interaction between learner and learner, and teacher and learner. The
results confirm that Korean teachers recognized that teaching presence
online is significantly lower than face-to-face instruction, p<0.001.
Additionally, the relationship between teaching presence in online
classes and face-to-face classes was significantly related, r=0.365,
p<0.05. This study suggests that further development of small group
activities, teachers’ capacity, teaching skills, and specific teaching
and learning methods should be developed in order to effectively
conduct classes online. It is expected that conducting practical research
about teaching presence will be implemented based on the results
of this study in the future.
