Views of Elementary School Children’s Parents about Distance Education during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ministry of National Education of Turkey suspended face-to-face education in all the K-12 schools and initiated distance education on the Educational Information Network (EBA). Distance education has become imperative although it has not been frequently used before the pandemic. The purpose of this study was to reveal the opinions of elementary school children’s parents about the distance education activities given via EBA. In a case study approach, a sample of parents (n =148) was reached out with an easily accessible sampling method. Their views were taken on an online semi-structured interview form. According to the parents, children have failure to enter EBA, to join live lessons and lack of internet. Because children are home during the pandemic, they do not follow school rules, accordingly do not study well and have motivational issues. The parents think that their children do not learn enough due to lack of individualized feedback. However, according to the parents, it is the positive side of distance education that children continue their education at home in a healthy and safe way. Children have a chance to repeat their classes and parents can follow their children’s learning process during the pandemic.
