Home-based learning during Covid19: A study about the use of Kotter’s 8-Step Process for Leading Change in International Secondary Schools in South East Asia.

Covid 19 changed not only the world, but also education. Most schools around the globe had to switch to home-based learning in a short amount of time. The researchers presenting investigated the experiences to the move online of educators via semi-structured interviews in two international secondary schools in South East Asia. The researchers used Kotter’s 8-Step Process for Leading Change and gathered data on processes that were either implemented or seemed important to educators for a swift move to home-based learning in the future. A main emphasis lies on the change in communication and collaboration for this move. Recommendations from the data collection will be discussed in this presentation. This presentation is based on research done for a Master’s thesis at TAMK university in Finland.
