[Methods]In-depth interviews were conducted with teachers (19 teachers in total) from four developing countries. The interview results were analyzed using open coding method to determine common themes in teachers’ experiences of all four countries. In this process, teachers' experiences of perception change were classified into three themes. [Results]Results for the study showed that teachers experienced critical reflection through online teaching during Covid-19 in three aspects; teaching and learning method, role of teacher, and form of education. More specifically, teachers’ perception change was identified in 1) the need to learn various teaching method for effective online class 2) the roles of teachers as facilitator and 3) new form of education in post covid-19 era, (through their online teaching experiences). According to the analysis, these three aspects of teachers’ perception change has led to develop teaching professionalism. [Conclusion]Results from the study concluded that teachers in developing countries experienced critical reflection and perception change in education through their online teaching experiences. The study implies that these changes served as a motivation and an opportunity to develop teaching professionalism even in the midst of an educational crisis caused by COVID-19.

The perspective taken by this research brings much-needed nuance to the analysis by focusing on the complex dynamics of external factors and key actors and their responses in the process of internationalization.FindingsThis research found three characteristic dynamics of internationalization of Korean HEIs: uncritical acceptance of external pressures for internationalization; unbalanced formal and informal participatio...

Much-hyped discussion regarding Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Korea’s higher education is not new. [...] Surprisingly, it is not the technological applications in higher education, but the world pandemic – COVID 19 – that has pushed higher education institutions and actors to rethink the existing epistemological assumptions of contemporary higher education and learning in Korea. The successes and many challenges amid the pandemic have sparked three sets of multi-layered debates.
