Results: The positive effect of Infrastructure Facilities, Family Interference, and Technology Literacy on teachers' online teaching and learning process were statistically significant at 0.05 level. But, the significant value of Social Distractions was 0.764 which is above the standard level. Hence the impact of Social Distractions on online teaching and learning process was statistically insignificant at 0.05 level. Furthermore, infrastructure facilities were a highly influential factor in the online teaching and learning process. Conclusion: The research was limited to one province in Sri Lanka, and thus, it may not be possible to conclude the results of an entire country. In this modern world schools in developing countries should be adapted to these new technological changes. Teachers, administration, and Government may utilize the findings of this study in their decision-making.
