The present research was conducted with the aim of measuring the effectiveness of face to face and virtual in-service training of elementary school teachers in Birjand city based on the Kirkpatrick model and comparing them. The current research method is a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test type. The statistical population of this research includes all primary school teachers of Birjand city who have participated in in-service and virtual courses in the academic year 2023-2024. Using available sampling, 45 teachers participating in face-to-face courses and 45 teachers participating in virtual courses were selected. In the first level, i.e. reaction, participants' opinions were collected in two stages (the beginning of the courses and the end of the courses). The tool used at this level was a researcher-made questionnaire. The second level, i.e. learning, was conducted using a researcher-made test of 19 questions and was performed as a pre-test and post-test. In the third level, i.e. behavior, data was collected 5 months after the end of the courses using the teachers' self-evaluation form and the teachers' evaluation form by their managers. The results of the inter-subject effects test to compare the reaction level components in the post-test stage and the f value obtained for all components are significant at the alpha level of 0.05. The F value obtained in the results of covariance analysis for comparing learning scores in the post-test stage is 26.563. The value of the t statistic and the value of the significance level for comparing the scores of the behavior level show that there is no difference in the variance between the two groups of face-to-face and virtual education The findings of the research show that face-to-face and virtual in-service courses are effective in the levels of reaction, learning and behavior, and there is a significant difference between the effectiveness of face-to-face and virtual courses; So that the obtained averages show that face-to-face training can have a significant effect compared to virtual training in these three levels.

E-learning has been extensively integrated into the educational system during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to enhance the quality of education. While introducing numerous benefits and positive impacts, this rapid transition has also posed new challenges that could potentially increase anxiety among elementary school teachers. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between web-based teaching components during the COVID-19 pandemic and anxiety levels among elementary school teachers, providing practical operational solutions. This research is applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of methodology. The statistical population of the study included all elementary school teachers in the city of Amol, totaling 750 individuals. A sample of 256 teachers was randomly selected from the city of Amol. Data were collected using the Salmi Anxiety Questionnaire, Abedini Chogordani, Ghasemi Nafchi, and Tabashir (2021), and a researcher-made questionnaire to measure web-based teaching components. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed through face validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was employed to determine the reliability of the research instrument. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that the contributions of web-based teaching components, including support and virtual learning infrastructure (169.0), learning and technological complexity (141.0), electronic content production (267.0), and type of course instruction (203.0), were significant predictors of teachers' anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the contribution of the effective assessment component (107.0) was not statistically significant. Virtual education infrastructure, learning technological skills, acquiring content production skills, type of course instruction, were negative predictors of teachers' anxiety during the pandemic. The results of the study revealed a significant negative relationship between some web-based teaching components and anxiety levels. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce teaching anxiety in web-based education by implementing empowerment courses to develop online teaching skills, producing effective content, and fostering technological development in in-service teacher training.

The present study aimed to identify the challenges of online- only system in the era of COVID-19. The qualitative research approach and the research synthesis method were adopted. The statistical population of the study included the research studies conducted during the COVID-19 in the field of e-learning system challenges which were collected from Scopus, Science direct, Eric, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar databases via using specific keywords. A total of 120 studies were selected and reviewed. After several screening stages among these studies, 47 study units were selected and reviewed based on their title, abstract, and research content, respectively. Research data were collected from qualitative analysis of the studied documents. Content analysis method was employed to analyze the research data. Analysis of the data revealed that the e-learning system in the COVID-19 era has challenges in twelve factors related to students, teachers, and managers which include ICT access and usage, studying and teaching from home, e-learning skills, content quality, teaching method, research activities, psychological factors, learning activities, evaluation, programs and policies, macro-social factors, and support.
