Now we are facing the COVID 19 spread in the country and whole world. The education system is affected by this situation. then how it will affect the teaching methods, patterns, classsroom teaching, teaching aids,
what will be the next ......in future teaching planning.
Dear Subhash Chavare
I hope this unusual situation will finish near. Now Covid-19 affects all things not only teaching. It affects teaching and learning. We now use electronic teaching.
Best regards
On the long term I expect several effects. Most teachers now learn (the hard way) the opportunities of online teaching. And the disadvantages. I expect more teachers do away with 'frontal teaching' where the teacher sends and only options for asking questions. This low interactive form of teaching will stay online - in the form of webinars.
It will confront teaching staff with deep didactical questions like: If I can do everything with webinars, what is my added value?
The next thing that will stay online is feedback sessions and Q&A sessions. No need for staff or students to travel if it is 'just' a status update on group work or a review of intermediate reports.
I also expect teachers that do host interactive face to face sessions to be more strict in preparations of students. We experienced that students can prepare and that those webinars (or youtube videos) are a good preparation. So we can expect students to come in prepared. This will have a positive effect on efficiency of those sessions.
This is from a 'first' world perspective, where students and teachers have ample access to internet.
For this situation, it affect lots of stakeholders. For rural area where the connectivity is challenging, nothing much we can do. However, some education districts have taken several strategies to engage student in learning and teachers are the motivators who drive the learning. We have change the lesson plan through simple and approachable way. By using Lesson objective and success criteria to meet the outcomes of learning. The outcomes are differentiated, impressive with full of creativity from the students.
it is a difficult time both for students and teachers.
teachers need to equip more with computer skills, softwares, communication through screens only. and most of time this is one way communication and students are reluctant to participate in discussions especially those who are shy and introvert.
Currently we have had to adapt to online teaching. This is problematic for vocational programmes where practical courses are limited by the lock down. Timetables for next year may have to front load theoretical modules until access issues are addressed.
Post Covid-19, education practices will definitely be shaken. Educators will think in terms of how they can prepare for such and kindred eventualities. For instance, they may have to design their lesson content in terms of electronic text and graphics combined, so that these can be used either in classroom environments or streamed remotely when and where necessary.
One thing, however, remains factual: it will take ages to replace the traditional four-walled classroom ‐ especially for junior schools. The physical teacher-learner and learner-learner interactions are greatly impressionable. These cannot be foregone without consequences. Learning is a highly social function, so much more for the young. Even for psychomotor skills, a child brought up amongst fellow children - either in the family or neighbourhood - tends to learn faster how to walk and speak compared to lone rangers. In a nut shell, remote learning will continue to be a supplementary mode. To understand where I am coming from, just figure out all the teaching methods that you know of. Which ones are easily done over remote delivery mode? I wont talk about the roles that teachers play. Schools are not only for cognitive development. They are equally agents of socialization. Further, they serve as day care centres. For some, they offer the only conducive environment for learning. The teacher is also able to observe learners at close range and diagnose various challenges that may be affecting the learner. Teachers have been known to discover abnormal behaviour and dispositions in learners, to the utmost shock of clueless parents. I therefore foresee minimal disruption by Covid-19, as far as the education practice is concerned.
COVID-19 contributed to a new form of education in terms of policies, pedagogy, and assessment. Some institutions went beyond online teaching to offering students services related to wellbeing (health, mental, psychological, social, etc.) and recreation. Parents also have become more involved in the educational process and some of them started to learn how online teaching works.
The positive side during COVID-19 Pandemic is that most students continued to learn, most teachers continued to teach, non-digital content has now become digital, and several educational institutions transitioned all its operations from traditional face-to-face to online.
However, further studies should be conducted to investigate the impact of online teaching (during the COVID-19) on the quality of education, integrity, equity, soft skills, and the practical aspects of learning (lab experiments).
Finally, COVID-19 may lead to having educational institutions spend more money on developing and maintaining their online teaching infrastructure and systems.
COVID 19 has affected the overall functioning of the education sytém. If things come back to the normal and resume schooling, high drop out will challenge the system at lower grades in underdeveloped and developing countries. Educators need to think of strategies to return and enroll these children especially at the early grades.
La situación del Covid, nos lleva a enfrentar nuevos desafíos educativos. Es necesario el cambio en las políticas educativas, estrategias metodológicas, sistemas de evaluación, así como la implementación de recursos innovadores que motiven y faciliten la adquisición de conocimientos.
Un aspecto fundamental para responder al desafío de la educación virtual, es la capacitación docente.

At the moment, we have emergency remote teaching and lecturers are doing their best to replicate the experience that students would have had in traditional face-to-face teaching. This has been really important for students to feel a continued sense of belonging which is important for retention as well as to enable the students to continue to make progress in their learning. However, this is not the same as quality online instruction, which is much more deliberate in its planning. A phrase that I have come across, which I think is useful, is that of co-presence in order to create that sense of studying 'together' in the online world so that the reasons for 'going' to university are maintained. The key to this seems to be having a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning using a range of approaches - discussion forums, flipped learning, writing documents together etc. There are huge opportunities to review our pedagogies as well as the technical challenges of getting to grips with the technology.
Learning practice will be definately change both for students and teachers. Basic IT [information technologies covers software and hardware] lecture will be essential after coronavirus case closed. These will be our gains but still we have losses, such as bright eyes of the students as well as their their energies. The most sophisticated screens do not able to allow us to feel each other, they are just capable to let us see each others.
The emergence of Covid 19 had really affect our teaching methods and patterns. These needs adaptability to how we could effectively teach our students. As of now, the online technique is used as an alternative means of teaching. But, there have been an advantage and disadvantage in each every country. Primarily is the materials and the facilities for these online which requires both the students and the teacher. What matter most is the delivery and the learning factor or the lesson objectives in the teaching activities. If we intend to maintain that quality of teaching despite of covid 19 then as an instructor, teacher we start reviewing the best syllabus or lesson plan for our students. Surely, we can plan any methods of teaching if we laid a good lesson plan for our courses. Stay Safe for everyone.
I have no qualms what many of the educators have posted before me. What I foresee is the heightened priority on e-content, e-pedagogy, and e-assessment - in general, TPACK. The radar will focus on equipping the teachers to teach online effectively; the blips on the screen will also target at providing the learning skills (meta-learning) of the students. I have some free modules to teach trainers and learners at https://bit.ly/edtrix-free.
I am from Singapore. Lessons have been learned from SARs and H1N1, but the pace is not enough - the pandemic exposed gaps in knowledge of effective online learning or Home-Based Learning, but it has gone in the right step - just the pace is in question: http://smartcitieseducation.com/index.php/2020/04/22/article-a-re-post-of-home-based-learning-as-a-re-invented-approach-to-our-education-advancement/
We can also learn something from Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder is a book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
I am into the research and development of the digital learning companion: http://thelearningcompanion.com/ and the challenge video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYcYyOpuXAQ. A paper has been written for the AIBotics 2020 Conference in Singapore: https://www.aibotics.tech/post/ai-in-robotics-to-the-rescue-digital-learning-companion . Hopefully, this will help to narrow the learning gap when the digital assistant aids students. If you are keen to find out more about this, pls email me at [email protected] . Thanks
Las alternativas que se sugieren en relación a considerar de manera más amplia los recursos digitales son viables y serán necesarias, pero una cuestión que de aquí en adelante tendrá que ser incorporada a la educación, será la toma de conciencia de lo que son las pandemias, sus causantes y consecuencias, principalmente este modelo de desarrollo que está en la base, para que entre todos y todas, niños y adultos, luchemos por un mundo mejor.
I think the school closures that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic will have a lasting impact on teaching, learning, and leading.
With respect to teaching, we will have to ensure that every classroom incorporates some form of a blended approach. Many were moving in this direction rather gradually, but this pandemic has compelled others to take the leap. We must get better at integrating technology into our teaching.
I also think this period has caused us to question the ways in which we have chosen to meet or attend conferences in the past. Has it always been necessary to travel for that meeting or could many of these be done remotely?
It will change our usual classroom teaching methods, virtual mode of teaching should be applied
Totally affected
As I work with practical activities, I didn’t have what to do...
But, I have to think in new strategies.
One of the preventative measure to avoid the spread of coronavirus pandemic is social distancing. The social distancing is a problem because people did not keep the rule 100% which have led to Total lockdown in some states. Hence, normal classroom could not take place. The only way to continue teaching is the use of ICT e-learning through zooming. Using this method of teaching would enable classes classes to be on. Although teacher - students interaction would not be there. This method of teaching would only be effective in an environment where technology has developed and network service is available.
Another method is the use of correspondence whereby teaching materials are send to learners through their email and learners also feed the teacher back by sending messages through email. Thanks
As the COVID-19 has affected the whole world of which education is one of the important foundation. In this time and for a long time to come our approach need to be changed. More of self responsibility on the part of student mainly will come into picture. Virtual mode of teaching will be principally used with videos and illustrations. I hope more reviews and tests will help to reinforce such kind of learning. Most importantly, In this time of crisis, a positive environment is needed to be maintained in the classroom whether virtual or real.
Obviously, the teaching modality will be changed. I mean, the face-to-face arrangement will be changed into distance modality of e-learning will replace the traditional way of teaching.
I think that COVID-19 has brought out social inequality very strongly. If children and young people have the devices at home and can be followed by their parents, they proceed in their learning. Those who do not have the means or the possibilities at the moment are not doing school. I think that teachers will have to start again right here to make up the gap.
I also think that this situation makes us rethink the process of correction and evaluation. How to evaluate pupils? Does it make sense to propose numerical grades? On the basis of what criteria? We need a new way of evaluating!
Finally, it will have to change the way children's work is corrected. How to correct? Do we correct a file and give it back to the children? Who will look at the corrections? What will they be used for?
In this regard, I have written a brief reflection on the possibilities of correction through the different online platforms.
It has affected both teaching and learning methods and styles. Still, there is much to be learned, practised, adopted and /or rejected. One thing is for sure according to me, the fact that asynchronous and synchronous platforms need to become an integral part of our teaching philosophy and methodology.
Due to the spread of Corona virus in the country and in the world, there may be a change in the teaching pattern from traditional method to electronic method only during the lockdown period. Because, the teacher has to conduct classes through online method/sharing of PPTs/ sharing of video clips etc from his home. He might also give some prior assignments and discuss on them in the class. But this cannot be a substitute for traditional classes after the lockdown is over as face to face class provides scope for rigourous interaction, group activity, peer learning, teacher-child discussion and use of TLM etc, which help children learn in a joyful manner through exploration,manipulation,experimentation and expectation etc. This enhances the learning ability of children to a larger extent. The electronic methods of teaching should be used as long as lockdown prevails. I think the traditional way of teaching will continue after lockdown period.
Traditional method will always continue but now at least in India, we will make it a habit to be habitual of online classes and get proper training on in.
I think not student effective learning online because we all have unique pattern learning. How we can make sure students not cheat, slept, or close video teaching online. We are human can't concentrate 24 hours by light computer and laptop more dangerous healthy.
Teaching and learning can be affected by COVID-19 threat as it is totally stopped. This can affect the annual academic calendar of regular schooling system. Students and teachers become get stacked and locked down at home in most counties of the world. So the regular teaching and learning methodology will be affected as it is impossible to complete using the normal methodology after restrictions lifted. But, as a solution accelerated learning methodology should be introduced and practiced as an emergency response methodology of teaching. This can be in the form of catch up classes by using condensed curriculum to compensate the wasted time.
after the situation recovered from the covid pandemic, for aspect of education will be very different, in the process of teaching the most important aspect is to give value to human behavior in order to have a positive mentality, build good character and civilized (intangible aspect) , education does not only discuss the contents of books, papers, theories etc (tangible aspect). From the beginning, it is very important for teachers to prepare more time and energy to create a teaching system at least 70% the module discuss how to heal & motivate student to be a person with full of intangible aspect, afterward we can create so many most up to date teaching system in future (gen Z & Alpha)...cheers;))
It will make an impact on education, and most institutes will expand the use of online training and examination as part of their teaching.
More opportunities for flexible work and study, with employment issues, will likely give rise to an increase in mature students.
The teaching of HE/FE courses on video conference would be beneficial to those who travel a long way from remote areas to schools and colleges. It would also reduce traffic emissions.
This is historic challenge over the globe. The countries who have well facilities of technologies even are facing challenge to continue teaching learning activities. It is more vulnerable to countries like India and Nepal. Open learning, postal learning moral education, mobile teaching systems should be introduced to those places where internet and devices are not available.
From recent experience
After corona ends o think most universities will add the electronic classes to the actual classes.
It will transform teaching from traditional teaching to combined education.
I am so optimistic that it will affect the learner's results, reduce on the learner -teacher rapport especially in my own country's context in Uganda where the humble families in hard to reach villages can not access electricity and other ICT gadgets can not afford the electricity extension to their homes and other resources to facilitate the e-teaching and learning. Thus, making many learners from such families completely disconnected from the continuum link waiting until the situation to come down and begin from where they stopped. this a challenge for Primary school and lower secondary levels.
This can totally affecting the facet-to- face classroom interaction between teachers and students. The education of rural schools and rural students are the most affected ones, as sometimes town-based and city-based schools can send some notes and home take questions to students via different medias. Children from poor families and rural students who lack electric powers are in problem, hence the conventional teaching and learning method and trend is really affected.
It needs new methods to address all students fairly and equitably.
What will be those new methods?
This is also for discussion among professionals.
For next academic year, more likely there will be a mix of online-only and hybrid teaching methods.
The hybrid approach includes both online and face-to face to different ratios for the delivery of contents.
However, if things get really bad because of Covid-19 health crisis, then faculty and students can switch completely to the online-only method of delivery.

Defiintely blended and online will become at lead. We need to consider, whether online will be synchronous only or asynchronous as well. Las but not least - what should be the impact of the same on tuition fees.
Before COVID-19, online teaching was not the first option in learning. Now i thing we need to work on developing new teaching methods and patterns as it is becoming the only resort during certain circumstances such as these days.
Profesora Mirtha Yordi, usted siempre con su mirada científica hacia todos los acontecimientos del mundo. Me tomo la libertad de expresarme de forma más ligera sobre situaciones que se nos van a dar en la comunicación:
"La vieja y el nasobuco"
Los niños con su candor
le buscan cual es el truco
al uso del nasobuco
y hasta eligen un color.
Se evita mucho dolor
pero si me equivocaba
cunado te identificaba
imagínate que lío
siento que es un desafío
esta prenda, preguntaba:
¿Me dejé en casa el respuesto
por si mi aliento se excede?
¿Lavé los otros? ¿Se puede
vivir acaso sin esto?
Y yo misma me contesto
es verdad que hasta escuchar
me cuesta más, que al hablar
proyecto la voz en fleje
pero como nos protege,
no lo voy a abandonar.
El reto es grande, en el caso de Perú; migrar de la enseñanza presencial a la educación a distancia es complicada por diversos factores entre ellos: La ausencia de equipos, herramientas digitales, acceso a internet, capacitación de los docentes...
