From academic failure to aggression, the problems of virtual education – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

According to the Mehr correspondent, with the outbreak of the Corona virus and the imposition of global restrictions, schools and universities were also forced to close. Over time, realizing that the corona virus will not simply end; The country’s education system tried to turn to distance education. The development of the Internet, the expansion of digital space, and the optimal access to appropriate electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops have led to the development of distance education as a social phenomenon specific to Corona.

Distance learning, however, worked as a short-term solution; In the long run showed its shortcomings. Hardware and software problems in distance education, weakness in virtual education and the resulting academic decline were the most important reasons for the weakness of distance education. In addition, aggression and maladaptive behavior were among the cases observed in the behavior of children affected by virtual education. Researchers at Harvard University, In a study By asking 405 students’ parents, they achieved important results; These results include increased cases of aggression in behavior, maladaptation in dealing with parents and not doing homework.

Parents in the study reported that their children exhibited more unwanted behaviors than when they went to school, and that their general behavior generally worsened.

‌The best training is face-to-face training

Hossein خنیفر In an interview with Mehr, the president of Farhangian University called face-to-face education the best education and said: “The virtual world can not be an alternative to face-to-face education.” According to all national and international organizations International Education is the last place that should be closed in any crisis, the school, and the first place that should start working again after the complete or temporary lifting of restrictions is the school and the university.

خنیفر Explain how harmful e-learning can be; He added: We are the mother of the age of human resources. If these human resources are incompletely trained through cyberspace, they will not be able to educate the future well.

By examining the statistics available in the Ministry of Education and comparing the evaluation of students this year with the years before the corona outbreak, it is easy to reach an insufficient effect of virtual education on students’ education.

Sadegh Sattarifard, Deputy Minister of Physical Education and Health of the Ministry of Education, on January 20, this year Live connection with Sima News Network, Said: the conditions of distance education of students, has caused a drop in education of 50 to 60% of children. This situation is especially evident in the elementary school.

The main reason for the weakness of virtual education in elementary school is the lack of face-to-face learning of the alphabet and the lack of practical learning of holding a pencil and writing in Persian. In the first and second years of elementary school, the child needs to learn how to write the alphabet in person and with the teacher and write with the teacher. In this regard, distance education has hit the first and second year elementary school students the hardest.

Rezvan Hakimzadeh, Deputy Minister of Primary Education of the Ministry of Education, in an interview with Mehr, regarding the need to compensate for the decline and weakness of students, said: “The main focus is on students’ writing skills.”

From the words of this Deputy Minister of Education, it can be seen that the continuation of the process of distance education and not taking seriously the need to reopen 100% of schools can have a negative impact on the literacy and literacy of today’s children.

On the other hand, Ali Bagherzadeh, the head of Shad system, in an interview with Mehr reporter, in response to the question of which level of education students use Shad more; He said that most of the happy network is used by high school students and elementary students have less use of happy.

Overall, it seems that although the happy network and virtual education has been able to replace face-to-face education for high school students to some extent; In elementary school, and especially for first and second grade students, it is by no means a desirable alternative, and the restrictions on reopening one hundred صدی Schools can lead to serious damage to student literacy.
