An, Y., Kaplan-Rakowski, R., Yang, J., Conan, J., Kinard, W., & Daughrity, L. (2021). Examining K-12 teachers' feelings, experiences, and perspectives regarding online teaching during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-021-10008-5

q2 · i0 · associational · r1

Spearman correlation analysis of the same 107-teacher survey, supplemented by Kruskal–Wallace tests and one-way ANOVA. The article reports "close to zero and insignificant" correlations for both age (rs = 0.045) and experience (rs = 0.022); neither association was statistically significant.

"the correlation between feelings about online teaching and participants' age was close to zero and insignificant, r s = 0.045, p = 0.644. Further, there was close to zero correlation (also insignificant) between feelings about online teaching and years of teaching experience, r s = 0.022, p = 0.822."
