Abstract

The study targeted to explore the possibility of using e-learning for teaching agricultural sciences according to the instructors' and students' opinions considering the corona pandemic. A questionnaire was prepared to consist of four main dimensions: the challenges of using e-learning, the range of students' interaction with this type of education, the teachers' own acceptance of it, and their views on the continuity of teaching agricultural sciences using e-learning. The research tool was applied to a sample consisting of 150 including 60 teachers and 90 students. The results revealed average estimates of the total scale and a high degree of the dimension of the challenge. As it became clear that there are great challenges in this type of education and the weak desire of the research sample for the continuity of e-learning. The study recommends the need to focus on the challenges facing e-learning and recommended the use of electronic tools in teaching agricultural sciences in part, and not relying on them entirely, considering their practical and skilled nature.
