Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences all over the world, especially in the education sector. While the higher education teaching environment seems to have welcomed a swift and effective shift to the digital world, vocational education, which is a form of tertiary education that highly emphasizes practical work skills and hands-on training, is expected to experience a more challenging situation. In hopes of smoothing the transition to online teaching in this particular education setting, this study explores the perceptions of four current vocational instructors from different institutions in Hong Kong. Thematic content analysis was adopted, and the results found three main themes, namely acknowledging the challenges of online teaching, new instructional strategies, and institutional support. It is hoped that this study can draw more attention to the vocational education industry and help inform stakeholders to impart better support for the instructors to provide high quality teaching in the future.
