Long distance education.

[Sariana23]

Today I went to work, I perform my duties in an educational institution, it attracts my attention, that in many countries they give virtual classes, (this is due to the pandemic that we have worldwide), I am concerned about the education of children, youth and Adults.
Speaking with high school students, they explain to me that they do not have the direct help of teachers, they have no way to resolve doubts, and even so, they continue to advance without being able to clarify or have answers. In view of the above, I believe that if the situation continues in this way, we will have many deferred students, and if they go to the next level of education, they will not have a good training, or quality teaching. How are you solving this situation in your country?

 

[Vladv26]

The education system is also pretty bad in my country because lots of kids don't have a device connected to the internet so they can't access the virtual classrooms. The government has promised them tablets with internet connection but its been a couple months now and they still didn't arrive

Yes, and that is unfortunate, they offer and do not comply, and meanwhile the students are left on hold and without a good education.

 

[vest1992]

I have done classes online on zoom about self development, I guess it is long distance since everyone was in their home. I don t know how the education system works but I hope it gets better.

 

[Anis Boukezzoula]

Before couple of days I went to my University to continue the the studies, We studied for just 20 days and we passed the exams after that.
Now I'm at home, I graduated and got the diploma in the petroleum Engineering^^

It's a good solution in the present time and good way to protecet people and students ... i think it's a very safe way for people to learn without put their lives on danger

the problem is that not all the countries can do it due to network problems especially in the third world, it's impossible to study online. the bill of the internet is expensive and the poor families can't pay it.

If it is correct, but you are on another level, I am referring to the children who do not have adequate help at home, the teachers at home, and with the internet problem here in Venezuela. I hope it improves

 

[Niftyyem]

Online learning has been difficult for children in places where there is poor network and high internet fees. It makes it difficult for them to be consistent in learning. Even now they get less attention than they should.

I trust, this will change very soon, otherwise, it will not be easy for you

Long distance education is not the best when being compared with having a physical class with your tutor. To me I don't really support it and the best way to deal with it is to let students return to schools and provide adequate check up to monitor their health and safety.

Covid-19 pandemic has brought virtual studies to my country, I mean because of the pandemic , the school were locked and the student were told to be taking virtual classes online which I believe its a good development for the ministry of education.

It is totally true, especially with subjects that require a direct explanation from the tutor for better understanding, many parents do not have the ability to help or guide their children and this makes it difficult.

It is a good development for the Ministry of Education, but from my point of view not for the student in certain practical subjects, in others if they have advanced and have been able to understand and understand the subject.

With the amount of technology that is currently available for online classes these days especially with zoom, I don't think there will be issues of student not being able to learn well because there are avenues for them to ask questions, for them to take note and also pay great attention to all the details that they have been taught.

You are absolutely right when you refer to the advancement of technology, but we must take into account that not all households have the possibility of acquiring devices (pc, phones) where they can communicate with teachers. In my country there are economically stable people but also many poor people without such access. What can be done in these cases?

Though in my country education is no more virtual because cases of Covid are not so high, but in the case of your country, I guess that's just a change in the way things are being done and people will have to adjust. If students do not understand what they are learning they can still reach out to their tutors via email or calls

 

[GIFTMICHAEL]

My career field in college institution centres to teaching. I have practiced teaching once during my teaching practice time. I'm not just motivated to teach, I went to school to gain more knowledge and not teaching in the class room.

Yes I understand, and for the reason I wrote in the previous post for now although it is possible, many people do not have the technological resources for it. Even so I fully understand that solutions must be sought, while this happens we are looking for alternatives.

Sorry what do you mean by they don't have the technology resources? Like no smart phone or computers to communicate? Then how do they take the virtual classes?

I don't think teachers still panic about convid 19 again because almost all schools have resume back to their classes and the student are already receiving lectures. So no problem about getting lecture here in my country.

 

[Spicywilfred]

One way to help the kids especially during the pandemic really depends on the parents, it is left to the parents to giuld them through difficulties so the distance wouldn't affect them so much.

 

[Kunkun]

Long distance education won't work effectively everywhere especially in the underdeveloped countries because they might lack the proper infrastructure to carry it out unlike in developed countries

 

[Sariana23]

Ah that's what I mean, there are populations that have this possibility, but those who do not have it, must search and pay in some cases to have school guidance, therefore education does not arrive correctly as it should.

I am glad that in your country everything is returning to normal, here we were about to start when there was a rebound of Covid and sepa, which returned to isolate us in our homes.

Wow that's quite terrible now I understand your initial post, the government should be able to provide necessary tools for virtual learning, education should never be compromised

Exactly, of course in the thread I have not given many details, to evaluate other countries, and see if this situation is present only in my country. But indeed the government must solve this situation for the best result of the education of students.

 

[Ayokex]

I think the government should improve on this new system of education and provide everything necessary to make easy for people. For example taking classes online is a very good idea and a saver way to achieve the same thing with those who go to school physically.

 

[Chibson]

The Covid19 pandemic really made a lot of schools to go to digital education. A lot of schools started online classes and of course learning and teaching. Personally I do not like that kind of education because I like seeing the lecturer one-on-one. But it really works for some people though.

As you describe, the online method works for some people. But there are also cases like yours, where you like the face-to-face method, which in many cases is necessary. The way face-to-face education is delivered also helps people who don't have access to the internet or don't have a pc available at home.

 

[Senator]

Your country is even trying to move forward on this front as regards education. They can do better obviously. Some countries are not having it at all. They have gone extremely backwards in education since the lockdown. Imagine that senario

Yes, of course, you have to somehow maintain education, even if it is at a distance through different methods. But it is also true what you describe, there are countries that have not had any progress in education since the pandemic started, which is really very unfortunate.

 

[Giannis]

I would describe long distance education with one word.TERRIBLE.First and foremost you obviously do not learn the things you learn when you are inside the classroom and secondly you cannot even make jokes with your friends.It is just boring

I was amused by your post @Giannis , but it is true. You can't joke with your friends or meet new colleagues. And I agree with you, there is nothing like receiving the lessons in the classroom, where the teacher just with a look knows if you understand or not and repeats the explanation given.

 

[Pousinha]

In my opinion, the matter is not online education, but overwhelmed teachers with tons of duties, at least in Latin America, where the salary for preschool, primary and secondary school teachers is low and they need to work between 3 schools to survive. It was difficult yet during presence activities, as teachers are compelled to lead with overloaded classrooms up to 44 students each one. And this difficulty worsened, as long distance teachers are compelled to answer student's questions one by one. Compelled to quickly learn how to use Google Meet, Zoom, etc. But lot of Latin American teachers lack technology worse than their students, as they are not paid enough to be in conditions of purchasing a PC. The poor salary for teachers is one of the worse guilty in my opinion. Impossible to work properly in those conditions.

Excellent description you make in your publication @Pousinha, and very accurate. It is a situation that we present in Latin America and perhaps in many countries around the world. The attention of each individual student in these conditions is very difficult, apart from the lack of technological devices and the internet itself in different populations.

Although the pandemic is not as bad as it was before, long distance learning has opened a lot of innovative options to the learning space. I am of the opinion that it should be normalized

It is true that, as a result of the pandemic, there have been multiple ways to reach students, in fact, the school year is currently ending in my country. However, there were many students who could not access their learning because of the lack of internet. Everything needs to be normalized.

The first thing to do is to come to the realisatin that there is a problem,and then solution will begin to trikle in.Deficite of qualified hands to transfer knowledge to this cadre of persons is a direct responsibility of government delibratly plan and put policies in place to address these deficits.It is not difficult,it is all about the priority of the government.

 

[eLdavis]

Truth be told, these visual classes, where ment to actually help does studying from other countries that cant be there based on one issue or the other, and to ensure a more stable and good condition for learning. But like you pointed out, there is always an advantage and disadvantage, truth be told, so many of this student do not actually get the best, because there is no one to monitor or caution them if they are even paying attention.

I clarify what I described in the thread, the pandemic situation that still remains in my country, is what has caused distance education. And I also made reference to the direct attention of teachers, since classes are received online. It is not the lack of teachers, but the knowledge that does not reach the students in a fluid way. I don't know what other countries do in this situation!

That's what I mean, for adults it is easier for them to pay the necessary attention and achieve their goals, but with children and teenagers it is more difficult to keep track of their learning, when it is done online.

 

[Khalidumra]

Education is kind of deteriorating due to the pandemic but thank God for technology we have a virtual learning system but still it not enough to build up a child in all aspect he/she needs because there is no interpersonal relationship where challenges would be poured out by the child

 

[Da ma]

I want everyone interested to know that education is not limited to distance you can learn from a far distance and then you get something much more better than somebody learning from a closer distance

You are right, at least the adults can actually control themselves to some level, and coordinate their activities. As for the young ones it would be very difficult as they easily get distracted or carried away.

Ok i now understand your points.In my clime we do not have the facility to address this situation and children's education suffered a great deal during that period,There was a programme being put out by a radio station for such purpose.But like you said,the learning effectiveness,act and detailed impactation will not be fully acheive through this process,because they have not carried out such lerning method before.

That is exactly what I mean, a lot is lost in the virtual world when there is no personal relationship between the student and the teacher. This means that the learning is not complete and, therefore, the results are not as expected.

You are right, at least the adults can actually control themselves to some level, and coordinate their activities. As for the young ones it would be very difficult as they easily get distracted or carried away.

You have described something very true, the distraction of children is part of them. It makes learning difficult when the teacher is not present to guide them and constantly calling their attention to them.

You have perfectly understood my point. Here they have also given classes on radio and tv, they even put videos on youtube. However, the purpose, which is to leave a learning experience, does not reach the children.

 

[Snazzy001]

Long distance education is a really a good idea because there are people who cannot afford to live in that vicinity where learning takes placelearning takes place

 

[Thinker009]

The problem is very common in my country , most especially the university where the lecturers hardly care for the students if they are learning or not ,the only way it could be resolved if government could help on such problem

 

[Nathygizzy]

Sincerely speaking I don't think the issue of long distance education should be a matter of controversy because with the level of technology available in the world today there's avenue for zoom for online classes take place

Like my niece is a perfect example, she is just 13 years of age, and the biggest mistake i would make is letting her use my phone or system for her studies, she would not focus at all, instead would start searching for other things. I believe this is why some parents install parental control but that is still not enough

 

[Kelly5]

The virtual classes offered these kids at this times because of the global crisis ofbth pandemic should be actually appreciated if they know what their counterpart in most countries are facing

 

[gammarays]

Long distance education is very stressful especially if you're combining it with work. I prefer living close to the school environment and probably do my hustles close. Check the cost of transport in a year and you'll be shocked.

It is true, many parents do their part to make the child focus on virtual classes. But there are parents who must work and attend to other things at home, and on the other hand do not have the necessary pedagogy to help their child, for that the teacher is prepared.

The virtual classes offered these kids at this times because of the global crisis ofbth pandemic should be actually appreciated if they know what their counterpart in most countries are facing

It is appreciated, however this virtual education does not reach all of my country. There are many in extreme poverty and they do not have telephone or internet, to receive online classes from their teachers.

 

[Matan_z]

I mean it wasn't that bad to study from home since you are at home while studying you can cook yourself some delicious meals, you can lay on your bed and be comfortable. On the other hand it might not be the same since you aren't having fun with friends you cannot really talk to them during the Zoom call, and it might be a bit harder to study by looking at the mobile phone's screen but after all it is another experience of studying and it has its pros and cons just like everything.
