This study investigated the challenges and coping strategies of online teaching among vocational educators in Taiwan. focusing on the electronics and electrical engineering sectors. Employing stratified random sampling, a questionnaire survey was conducted across 20 schools, garnering 376 valid responses out of 486 distributed, reflecting a 77.36% response rate. Analysis methods included descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Scheffe's post-hoc test, and Pearson correlation. Findings revealed that "Management of Online Classes" posed the greatest challenge, whereas "Problem-Solving in Online Teaching" was the most effective coping strategy. Challenges were more pronounced among female educators, those with a Bachelor's degree, specializing in Control Science, teaching in the southern region. or lacking in self-generated digital resources over the past three years. In contrast, educators with advanced degrees or recent digital teaching development experience aligned more closely with effective coping strategies. A significant correlation was observed between the challenges and coping strategies in online teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
