Abstract

COVID-19, which started in China in January 2020, spread almost all over the world in a short time and turned into a global pandemic. This pandemic also affected the education systems, and schools were closed in 194 countries from preschool to higher education at the beginning of April, and approximately 1.5 billion students were affected by this situation. In many countries of the world, face-to-face education was paused from preschool to higher education. It can be said that although this process has compelling effects for all children who are in social isolation, these effects can be much greater in children with disabilities and children who do not have a private space in their houses, physical and mental stimulations, materials to trigger their interests and curiosity, supportive parents, and a safe and affectionate environment. Additionally, the responsibilities of children to continue their learning during their stay at home due to distance education increase both children and their parents' anxiety and stress for this process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects and reflections of the pandemic on education and solution suggestions to the problems. The digital world has changed student roles as well as teacher-family roles. Children and young people benefit from digital education starting from pre-school period, which will contribute to the education benefit level of the term population.

COVID-19 Pandemi Sürecinde Eğitim Üzerine Öneriler

Abstract

2020 yılı Ocak ayında Çin’de başlayan COVID-19 kısa sürede neredeyse tüm dünyaya yayılarak küresel bir salgına dönüştü. Eğitim sistemlerini de etkisi altına alan salgın nedeniyle Nisan ayının başında okul öncesinden yükseköğretime 194 ülkede okullar kapatıldı ve yaklaşık 1,5 milyar öğrenci bu durumdan etkilendi. Dünyanın pek çok ülkesinde okul öncesinden yükseköğretime kadar yüz yüze eğitime ara verildi. Sosyal izolasyon içinde olan tüm çocuklar için bu sürecin zorlayıcı etkileri olsa da evlerinde yeterli alan, fiziksel ve zihinsel uyaran, ilgi ve meraklarını canlı tutacak materyal, destekleyici ebeveyn, güvenli ve sevgi yoğun bir ortam olmayan çocuklar ve özel gereksinimli çocuklar için bu etkilerin çok daha büyük olacağı söylenebilir. Bunun yanı sıra, uzaktan eğitimle birlikte çocukların evde kaldıkları süreçte öğrenmelerini sürdürmekle ilgili sorumlulukları bu sürecin hem çocuklar hem de aileleri için kaygı ve stresini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı pandeminin eğitime etki ve yansımalarını bununla birlikte sorunlara çözüm önerilerini değerlendirmektir. Dijital dünya öğrenci rollerini değiştirdiği gibi, öğretmen aile rollerini de değiştirmiştir. Çocukların ve gençlerin okul öncesi dönemden itibaren dijital eğitimden faydalanmaları dönem nüfusunun eğitimden fayda sağlama düzeyine katkı sunacaktır.
