Abstract

Dijitalleşmenin hepimizi ilgilendirdiği Korona salgını öncesinde de açıkça anlaşılmakla birlikte, teknoloji günlük hayatımıza sadece iş alanında değil sosyal yaşantımızda da nüfuz etmekteydi. Günümüzde ise dijitalleşme, çağdaş bir eğitim ortamı yaratmak için iyi düşünülmüş bir stratejiye dayalı değişimin en yüksek önceliğe sahip olduğu öğrenme yeri “okul”u, olması gerekenin aksine hızla, etkisi altına almaktadır. 2020 baharında salgın nedeniyle okulların kapanması neticesinde, eğitim sistemi, evde eğitim veya uzaktan eğitim şeklindeki derslerin devam edebilmesi için en kısa sürede yeniden planlanmak zorunda kalmıştır. Bu çalışma, mevcut istisnai durumda evde eğitimin nasıl ilerlediğini ve hangi zayıflıkların, zorlukların ve fırsatların ortaya çıktığını değerlendirmektedir. Amaç, mevcut durumu öğretmenler, okul müdürleri ve ebeveynler olmak üzere üç farklı perspektiften tasvir etmek ve Korona krizi sonrasında eğitime yönelik olası sonuçlara varabilmektir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları ve bulguları, gelecek eğitim planlarına da ışık tutabilir.

Mandatory Digitalization Thanks to or Due to COVID-19: An Empirical Study on Distance Education in Turkey

Abstract

Even before Corona, it was already clear to us that digitization concerns us all. It permeates our everyday life at work as well as in private. Moreover, it increasingly determines the learning location "school", where meaningful digitization based on a well-thought-out strategy has top priority to create a contemporary educational environment. Due to the school closings due to the pandemic in spring 2020, the education system had to take measures as soon as possible to continue lessons in homeschooling or distance learning. This study evaluates how homeschooling works in the current exceptional situation and which weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities can be documented. The aim is to depict the current situation from two different perspectives, teachers and parents, and to be able to draw possible conclusions for learning after the Corona crisis. The results and findings of the homeschooling study are also may be used to plan future courses.
