Usually, during quarantines, teachers ask some topics for independent development, and when students return to school, they organize control tests, checking how they mastered the material. As a rule, the suspension of classes does not significantly affect the educational process, but this time parents are alarmed and are looking for ways to organize distance learning for their children. The current quarantine falls on a key period of the school year, especially for high school students who are preparing for an external independent assessment (OIE).
Therefore, the Ministry issued recommendations on the operating hours of schools during the quarantine. Among them is the introduction of distance technologies, with the help of which classes can be conducted
. According to the Ministry of Education and Science, at present, distance education services are provided by about 2,000 schools from 15,200 educational institutions.
As Lubomira Mandziy notes, educational institutions independently decide how to interact with students during quarantine. For its part, the ministry has published a list of online courses that can help with homeschooling. The authorities also recommend hire essay writer or tutor because the learning curve is much weaker during distance learning. Also, officials are engaged in a strategic update of the normative documents on distance education.
What Are The Realities Of Distance Learning Around The World?
There is no uniform approach to distance learning in the world. In half of the EU countries, it is prohibited, including Germany and Sweden. In the United States, 2.5 million children are homeschooled – about 4% of all schoolchildren. In the UK, due to the poor quality of school education, over the past four years, the number of such children has increased by more than 40%, to 60 thousand. In Ukraine, there is no complete statistics on children studying remotely, but their number is growing – at least at the expense of schoolchildren living in the uncontrolled territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. According to local education departments, their number has increased by a third in recent years.
Learning At Home Is Easy If You Follow These Simple Steps!
In quarantine, it is important for parents and children to build the right educational relationship and spend this time as painlessly as possible.
- During quarantine, you can hold a small “planning meeting”: tell the child about the regime, rules, that it is important to watch the list of online tasks every day, read the literature provided for by the training plan, explain why it is important.
- It is worthwhile to clearly divide home time into entertainment and learning. Maintain the student’s usual routine: the same time of getting up and going to bed, traditional rituals – breakfast, classes, hobbies, etc. It is important to devote short periods of time to study: from 15 minutes for a high school child to 25 minutes for a high school child with small breaks in between.
