Dariusz - this is a highly topical subject at the moment and being discussed widely in the mainstream and more local university institution media. Most are agreed that the way forward is complex and mostly unknown. As to when students will return to face-toface teaching etc is also unknown. What does commonly seem to be coming out is that many see this as an opportunity, not to go back to the 'traditional' ways of teaching i.e. large classes and didactic methods of 'filing students wih facts' - but to re-evaluate best delivery - which is most likely to be a 'blend', of online/distance and reduced face-to-face.

Hi! Yes, this is really questions that many are thinking about. Right now is the time to collect data, of course - since we cannot analyse data not collected. I think, however, that there will be a long time until we really can draw any conclusions, it all has to be at a reasonable historical distance. We are now too close, we need the perspective of time. Historians often say that it is very difficult to understand what's happening just when it happens. So this has to come behind us into some distance, so we can use for example methods of hermeneutics for trying to understand and draw conclusions. But the contemporary environment we then do this in will also be changed, and not be back at position zero.

We already use Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom or Zoom to teach at the university.

Schools should stop teaching knowledge at high school. Kids face hips of information, which they will need to deal with somehow. HOW?

-Data Science should go to the high school curriculum.

COVID-19 has rendered the entire educational world "paperless"...pushing most educators to continue serious academic work online. I need not talk about its psychological effects on teaching and learning.

This is a big issue when learners especially in higher educational institutions have to pay more for internet connectivity coupled with regular power fluctuations in some parts of Africa.

It is certainly going to be a daunting task as educational institutions are torn between the use of cumulative assessment and final year examination or a possibility of using only cumulative assessment.

Generally COVID -19 will compel educators to revise most of their theories so far as teaching and learning is concerned.

It is a big issue to see learner in higher education institutions to pay attention to this case .

Indonesia has become one of the countries included in a national emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Social and physical distancing is one of the policies taken by the government to stop the chain of the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Such conditions force people to stay at home, work, religious worship and study at home. As a result, there have been many urgent changes in various sectors. Education is one of the sectors that have obtained the effects of the covid-19 pandemic.

Educational institutions must strive to innovate in the learning process. One of the innovations is to change learning that is usually face-to-face to online learning. Online learning is learning that utilizes internet network facilities with accessibility, connectivity, flexibility, and the ability to bring up various types of learning interactions. Online learning basically emphasizes students to be careful and observant in receiving and processing information presented online. Therefore, the implementation of online learning requires devices that are able to access information anywhere and anytime such as smart phones, tablets and laptops.

However, not all students have these devices. In higher education maybe yes, but for the primary school level most are not. In addition, data packages or internet access quotas are a significant burden on the community. Especially if in the e-learning facility there is a video tutorial that must be watched. This makes this learning method able to trigger learning independence and encourage students to be more active in learning.

Unfortunately, online learning limits the interactions between students and teachers. Some obstacles will also be found in the learning process so that it disrupts the smooth learning that is done. These obstacles can affect the psychic of students so that makes students experience various difficulties in learning.

No technology can replace direct social relationships in education, especially with younger children. Isolation will bring many negative consequences in social communication

Dear Dr. Dariusz Prokopowicz.

The impact of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic on education are the difficulty to learning of attitude in students.

Recently, we have successfully completed an e-learning development research project to train students' self-reliance in simulation learning and digital communication in one of the Vocational High Schools in Indonesia. This research was triggered by the weaknesses of online learning, namely the difficulty of instilling an attitude in students.

We hope that our research results can be published in international journals soon.

The interruption of the course, is definitely making an impact on students, teachers and parents. I think these three groups should be studied.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, To this discussion I would like to add considerations on the issue of the development of electronic online banking in the era of the current SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic. Now, in many countries there has been a strong acceleration in the development of digitization of the economy. Due to the development of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, which causes Covid-19 disease, many people are in quarantine at home and many activities, including work, handling official matters, purchasing basic and other products remotely via the Internet. On the other hand, the digitization of the economy is currently taking place simultaneously in many areas of economic processes and in the functioning of many economic entities and public, financial and other institutions. In many industries and sectors, more and more companies are developing their activities via the Internet, remotely providing their services and selling their products under e-commerce. Many companies that did not do this before now switch to remote activities, carried out electronically via the Internet. The importance of internet marketing, including viral marketing, public relations, video conferencing, etc. over the internet is increasing. The development of electronic banking is also increasing, including online and mobile banking. The share of payments made electronically, without cash via the Internet and during payments with the use of electronic bank cards is increasing. More and more citizens paying in stores do not use cash but make contactless payments. Limits for all contactless payments made with bank cards have just been increased in some countries. In connection with the above, the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic may cause a significant increase in the share of payments made electronically in the context of all payments made in national economies.

In connection with the above, I ask the following question: Has the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Koronavirus pandemic accelerated the development of electronic online banking?

What is your opinion on this topic?

Please reply.

I invite you to discussion.

Thank you very much for participating in the discussion.

The impact on education is more likely to be devastating in countries where learning outcomes are low, dropout rates are high, and resilience to shocks is low. While school closures seem to be a logical solution to imposing social separation within communities, long-term closings will have a disproportionate negative impact on the most affected students. These students have fewer opportunities to learn at home, and the time spent outside the school may place economic burdens on their parents who may face challenges.

The scenario we are experiencing is quite complex. Face-to-face education had to become online during this period and the diverse digital technologies have been fundamental. However, this remote teaching is just a reproduction of face-to-face teaching in online mode. Going beyond problems related to the lack of adequate technological conditions, for both students and teachers, there are other issues that stand out, such as: i) the time that students are spending sitting in front of a screen (there are schools adopting long periods of time, with a small break); ii) the burden of parents who need to accompany this teaching, guiding this process, often for more than one child; iii) the lack of interest of students, mainly pre-teen and teenagers who deal very well with the digital enviroment for fun, but not for education; iv) the work of the teachers that has increased a lot, having to transform their classes to a digital format; v) the adopted class style that does not motivate the student. Education will certainly learn from all of this.

Do you prefer to conduct classes in a traditional form, stationary in a university building or in a remote form via e-learning?

 In order to slow down the development of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (causing Covid-19 disease) pandemic, schools and colleges were temporarily closed as part of the systemic anti-pandemic and sanitary safety instruments. In the period March - May 2020, due to the development of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic, classroom teaching in schools and colleges has now been suspended and replaced by e-learning in many countries. Due to the suspension of stationary didactic classes in schools and colleges, classes are conducted remotely, through various new online media through specific forms of e-learning. Currently, teachers are looking for answers to the following research questions: Is currently one of the key problems in the development of education is to suspend stationary didactic classes in schools and colleges and replace these classes with e-learning? Are the didactic processes carried out in a limited or full scope due to the development of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease? How long can such a situation last that all education is implemented remotely through various new internet media? How will the current state of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic affect learning outcomes? There are many questions that will be answered in the future. In the field of remote teaching and necessary system changes, improvement of IT and internet infrastructure in schools and in the homes of users, students, etc. there are many interesting issues that can and are currently being studied.

In view of the above, I ask the following question: Do you prefer to conduct classes in a traditional form, stationary in a university building or in a remote form via e-learning?

@Dariusz Prokopowicz Neither any technology can substitute address and access social hierarchies, particularly with younger children. In social communication isolation will have many negative consequences.

Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz,

I believe that electronic teaching will be the only solution in that period, so it must be developed and fully taken care of in order to be able to keep abreast of all possible changes. I think that integrated education will be the best option after the epidemic ends.

Nice Contribution Dr.Suhad Qasim Almusawi, Thanks.

Will virtual classes conducted through e-learning be developed in the future after the Koronavirus pandemic? Can a significant part of the didactic process remain in the e-learning formula even after the pandemic ends?

In my opinion, this is partly happening now. Technically, this is already possible. If in the future there will be more and more frequent new threats that are negative effects of the development of civilization similar to the current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus (causing Covid-19 disease), then the virtual class model may increase its importance and participation in the context of the entire didactic processes.

However, these questions are still and will be valid:

- Will virtual classes conducted through e-learning be developed in the future after the Koronavirus pandemic?

- Can a significant part of the didactic process remain in the e-learning formula even after the pandemic ends?

Please reply,

Greetings,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

I believe that online education would be more effective in higher education and less effective in primary and secondary education, from the developmental perspective on learning and education. So it would be reasonable to concentrate the resources in a way to provide more intact learning opportunities for younger learners and spending that time on seeding intrinsic learning motivation and skills, to prepare them for further independent (or partially guided, mentored learning). Correspondingly, changes are predicted in teacher functions and in my opinion, the toughest challenge - in assessment and learning outcomes' evaluation. If previously assessment was performance-based, currently there's a need to develop longitudinal learner profile evaluation methods, performance authenticity tests etc.

Dariusz Prokopowicz, Nice Topic.

If the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (causing Covid-19 disease) expires in the following weeks, should education after schools from September and / or October be re-conducted mainly in traditional (stationary, school buildings) and university) or rather in remote mode, via the Internet, in the online e-learning formula?

School re-opening may depend on particular context of country, adherence of health advises n etc. E-learning may be an alternative to some extent...

Fantini, M. P., Reno, C., Biserni, G. B., Savoia, E., & Lanari, M. (2020). COVID-19 and the re-opening of schools: a policy maker’s dilemma. Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 46(1), 1-3.

Asia, E., & Team, P. E. (2020). Response to COVID-19: Preparing for School Re-Opening–The Case of China (No. 148014, pp. 1-8). The World Bank.

If the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic expires by September in most countries, will faculties return to traditional, stationary, face-to-face teaching classes in schools and colleges?

If the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (pandemic Covid-19) pandemic completely expires by August 2020, then from September schools and / or from October 2020 universities could return to the traditional teaching mode, i.e. conducting the didactic process in classrooms, school buildings and university. Even if the Coronavirus epidemic would return in the fall or winter, according to dominant forecasts, subsequent epidemics or pandemics should be weaker and, on the other hand, society will be prepared, the health care system will also be prepared to a much greater extent than in the current pandemic.

In the country in which I operate (September 2020), in primary and secondary schools, there is a return to traditional teaching activities conducted in school buildings. On the other hand, at universities, the hybrid formula prevails, i.e. some or most of the classes are conducted in a remote formula, as part of e-learning? What about this in your country?

Please reply

Greetings,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Nice question. E-learning includes two parts electronic (recorded lesson) and online ( directly with the teacher). Although many countries and specialy my country they prefer electronic learning instead of online learning but, due to my experinece online learning is better because the teachers can attract with the studnets instantly and it helps both teachers and student to rice their ICT skill.

Dear Hawar Dlshad,

Thank you. I agree with your opinion. I also believe that if we compare the two formulas of e-learning, i.e. offline playback of recorded lessons and real-time online classes in the videoconference formula, the latter formula based on online videoconferencing is more effective because it enables interaction between the teacher and students. Best wishes,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Online courses and teaching would be structured differently having thereby an effect on courses, creating more formulaic classes constructed for a wide range of students. Examination of learning would otherwise be more difficult if a flexible approach is taken, marking will be stratified with predetermined responses.

E-learning has widely developed during the time of the pandamic

Dear Stanley Wilkin, Yes, I agree that it is difficult to conduct tests and exams in the form of online e-learning education.

Dear Marwah Firas Abdullah Al-Rawe, Yes, thanks to the pandemic, a significant part of education has moved to the remote mode, carried out in the online formula as part of videoconferencing. Best wishes,

With the development of the 2nd wave of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, including the current (October 2020) rapid increase in Coronavirus infections, the question arises: Should the entire education process at all levels of education now be transformed back into remote mode? via the Internet, i.e. implemented as part of e-learning?

What do you think about it?

Please reply,

Best wishes,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

All pandemics have negative effects on the societal mix in the education sector, business, etc., but their impact is greater on the educational sector despite the use of information technology and distance education.

In my opinion, e-learning did not have a clear impact on the education process for the stages (primary, intermediate and even secondary education) on the considerations that traditional education (face to face) had a significant impact on building the logical and psychological level of knowledge of students' behaviour.

Dear Arcelan S. Sadiq, Yes, I agree with your opinion. Remote education via the Internet online, in the e-learning formula, should only be a substitute form compared to traditional, stationary, face-to-face education in a situation where it is not possible to conduct the educational process in the traditional formula. Greetings,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Due to the fact that the current (October 2020) increase in SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus infections, i.e. the development of the 2nd pandemic wave, is much faster than during the 1st pandemic wave from March - June 2020, is it the education process should now move to e-learning? Should all teaching activities at all levels of education be carried out remotely via the Internet in e-learning from now until spring 2021? Or maybe a hybrid formula should be used for specific types of classes?

Please reply

What do you think about it? Best wishes, All the best, Stay healthy!

Dariusz Prokopowicz

According to the information recently released by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer to the media about the end of work to create an effective vaccine against Coronavirus, the current 2nd wave of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic may end in a few months. Perhaps the problem of the Coronavirus pandemic will be largely resolved. Therefore, the question arises: Will pupils and students return to the traditional mode of teaching from autumn 2021, i.e. to the full-time mode in school and university buildings?

What do you think about it?

Dear all,

we just submitted one research proposal (COVVISE) for evaluation, and in case of a positive outcome, will inform you more about this interesting topic raised by Dariusz. In the next, you can see the project abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic (COV-19) has created the biggest disruption of education systems in history. During the first and ongoing lockdowns, ensuring the educational continuity has been a priority, but also a highly complicated task for the education management, teachers, ministries and other stakeholders, still without adequate/holistic solutions. Additionally, in specific education areas, such as agro-environmental studies that are traditionally not just classroom but importantly also laboratory/field-based, with the specific curricula and expected learning outcomes (notably irreplaceable practical activities performed in labs and open fields), we hypothesise that due to COV-19 some of: i) crucial learning outcomes and ii) physical parameters in student populations have been compromised seriously. The project's main goals are to elucidate educational, pedagogic and specific health aspects and implications of COV-19 on the principal stakeholders in agro-environmental studies and high schools in Croatia, European, N. American, L. American countries and Australia. By using modern big-data analyses, ICT approaches and targeted online questionnaires/interviews and physical activity measurements implemented in online apps, the interdisciplinary project team comprising agro-environmental, life, social scientists, pedagogues, psychologists, sociologists, kinesiologists and IT experts will characterise how COV-19: i) impacted educational activities/priorities, ii) influenced the change/adjustment of teaching methods, iii) impacted study curricula and learning outcomes, and iv) altered physical activity variables at the tertiary and high school level in Croatia and the team member institutions. The COVVISE will provide answers and suggest solutions for enhancing the institutional capacity to adapt to the pandemic crises, including development of innovative teaching methods and upgrading existing curricula to seamlessly incorporate ICT and e-learning approaches/contents.

Dear Gabrijel Ondrasek,

Thank you for presenting the concepts of your research on the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic on education systems and pedagogical processes. I have noticed similar factors in the educational impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. Due to the pandemic and the introduction of the recommendation of quarantine, remote work and lockdown, the education processes carried out traditionally, stationary, were converted into e-learning conducted in the form of remote education, carried out via the Internet online, as part of the videoconference formula. On the one hand, it turned out to be a good substitute for a serious crisis of this kind. However, on the other hand, the remote form of education carried out via the Internet is not perfect, it generates many problems, difficulties in carrying out exams and effectively conducting practical classes, during which pupils and students should develop their practical skills. In addition, there are also imperfections in the security of data transmission over the Internet. In view of the above, there are still many problems of the e-learning process of remote education that require more complete research, improvement and correction.

Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic has resulted in the processes of education being implemented mainly or exclusively within e-learning. On the other hand, vaccination programs have started for citizens with the use of highly effective vaccines against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). Therefore, will the next semester, the next six months of the education process (February - June 2021) be carried out at your university, in your school, mainly or exclusively as part of e-learning, or will there be a return to traditional, full-time teaching?
