Summary: Since the outbreak of COVID-19, online teaching has been widely practiced and ensuring its quality and efficiency has become crucial. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the basic perceptions of online teaching among teachers from different disciplines. By conducting a web-based questionnaire, researchers surveyed 198 teachers and analyzed the data using quantitative and qualitative methods. The results revealed significant differences in attitudes towards adopting online teaching as the norm across different disciplines, with social science teachers showing a preference against it and natural science teachers favoring it. However, there were minimal differences in the overall perceptions of online teaching among teachers from various disciplines, with most of them highlighting the challenges of interactive communication and providing suggestions for improvement. Strengthening the infrastructure, considering discipline-specific characteristics, and providing training in teaching methods, learning psychology, and technology are necessary for enhancing online education.
