Covid-19 is making its mark all
over the world. Education is no exception. Let's take a look at how Covid-19 is
forcing a radical change in the education system.
When the world chooses lock down
as the only way to deal with corona, the Internet is the only way. The lives of
about 60 million students around the world are at stake for this disease.
Although this disorder has forced students to suffer considerable losses, we
cannot deny some of the practical benefits of this transformation in the
education system.
Therefore, educational
institutions should adopt alternative approaches very soon.
There are three visible aspects
of education:
A) To create interesting and
captivating lessons for the students through research.
B) Teaching through classes or
lectures or annotations or self-lessons or discussions.
C) To evaluate the work of the
students by adopting different methods.
The advent of the corona has had
an adverse effect on all three.
It is also true that if Covid-19
had not attacked us, online education would have remained a dream.
A large number of students still
do not have access to the Internet. So they are unable to take advantage of
online education. Yet a large number of students still do not have the
infrastructure needed to ensure online education. But it is also true that if
Covid-19 had not attacked us, online education would have remained a dream. The
arrival of Corona has also brought about a revolutionary change in the field of
education.
Let's see exactly what these
changes are:
1) Now classes are being taken
using Zoom or WebX or Skype or Google Hangouts or Microsoft Team or GotMeeting.
Just as teachers and students can see each other in the classroom, teachers can
see students through the Internet through these video conferencing software,
and students can see teachers. Most importantly, it is now possible to record a
lecture with an online camera. It is an important educational document for the
future.
2) The handwritten paper has been
replaced by a PowerPoint presentation or PDF or website link or YouTube link.
The biggest advantage of online media is easy storage. So even after teaching,
students can take the help of online resources in their own time.
3) Google Spreadsheet and Google
Classroom are being used to register attendance. In some cases, attendance
documents are also being kept through WhatsApp. There is no room for fraud here
either. This document can also be used for administrative purposes.
4) In many cases, lessons are
being sent in advance and only doubts are being removed during class. It is
organizing a radical change in the traditional and undemocratic education
system. Now the responsibility of a teacher is not ending just by teaching. The
teacher now has to transform education into efficiency.
5) Today is the era of mixed
education. So in the post-Corona world, 40 percent of the lessons will be given
offline in the traditional way. The remaining 80 percent will be Internet-based
education. It is possible to develop the intellect of a student. The
post-Corona world will prioritize online education. So this change is going to
be lasting.
6) Distance education is going to
bring a revolution in the education system. We will move from a campus-based
education system to a non-campus education system. Students will study at home
using various innovative methods. So in the future, there will be immense
opportunities to continue both work and study. True knowledge will replace
memorization which transforms a person into a citizen.
7) Education will no longer have
degrees. Education that does not impart skills will no longer have any value.
The day of the degree on paper is coming to an end. The arrival of Corona is
explaining to human society the value of skill-based education.
8) Value-based education will be
the path of the next world. This catastrophe is teaching people new humanity.
Education will play a key role in this change.
9) In the post-Corona world,
social media will play a leading role in education. Teachers and students will
keep in touch with each other through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and
LinkedIn Slideshare. It is important to remember that space and time will become
secondary in future education.
10) The day is not far away when
the test will not be based on memorization. Future test questions will be
analytical and students will need to be more creative.
11) Artificial intelligence will
become very important in education in the future. As a result, a lot of the
work that teachers do now will become automatic. Teachers have to adapt to this
basic truth.
12) The Internet will be
transformed into a basic human right. Information such as food, clothing, and
shelter will vary in our basic needs. In the same way, the internet will become
essential in education.
13) Online seminars or webinars
will become a primary way to acquire knowledge and disseminate knowledge. We
can now see that all the renowned universities around the world are organizing
multiple webinars. In the post-Corona world, the number of webinars will
increase and the number of books will not decrease.
14. Education in the post-Corona
world will help develop creativity in students. Information-based education
will disappear.
Education is changing forever and
those who cannot adapt to this change will become extinct like dinosaurs.
