Abstract:

 

The primary purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the role competencies of teachers in online distance education and teachers' academic optimism. Correlation and regression analysis were used in the research. The research sample consists of 400 primary school teachers working in Northern Cyprus. The data were collected using a scale consisting of three parts: demographic variables, the scale for assessing the role competencies of teachers in online distance education, and the scale of teacher academic optimism. A simple random sampling method was used to take the sample. The data were analyzed using ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and regression analysis. Findings provide conclusive evidence that teachers' role competencies in online distance education significantly predict their academic optimism. It has been found that there is a positive, moderate relationship between teacher pedagogical role competence and teacher academic optimism and between teacher communicator role competence and teacher academic optimism in online distance education.

 

Keywords – Education, distance learning, primary school teacher, teachers' role competencies in online distance education, teacher academic optimism.
