The Role of Physics Teachers in Digital Learning

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the role of physics teachers in digital learning. Library research methods were used and this discussion is based on expert opinions and the results of previous research on digital learning. The teacher’s task is to design, implement, and evaluate learning. During current times, teachers, including physics teachers, face far more complex challenges when compared to the previous era. Teachers are faced with technological advances, diverse learners, and more complex subject matter. Physics teachers must be able to teach digitally but still facilitate science process skills. This paper describes the role of physics teachers in digital learning, namely in teaching and managing classroom activities effectively, practicing science process skills, building effective relationships with students, using technology to improve the quality of the learning process, and reflecting on continuous learning.


Keywords: physics teacher, digital learning
