Abstract

COVID-19 has developed a consciousness that humans need to change their way of living as it has touched every domain of life. The most affected domain is education. It has altogether made a paradigm transition from customary to digital instruction. Now, the role of instructor and his/her competencies are of paramount importance. The efficacy of online learning has been influenced by student views of teaching quality. Appropriate instructional practices must be discovered and highlighted in order to give the online educator with the capabilities and competencies required for virtual learning effectiveness. Quality of teaching may have far-reaching effects on the motivation of students regarding their studies. It may have an effect on students' study approaches, motivation for critical thinking and curiosity. A web-based survey was conducted on college students with the help of standardized tools. Findings exhibited that instructor roles and competencies have a role to play in students' motivation for critical thinking, study approaches, and curiosity.
