Quarantine and education

 Quarantine and education

( personal experience)

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kazakhstanis have learned to live in new conditions. The quarantine didn’t only restrict people's freedom of movement, but also taught them to look at the world in a different way. Only now we realized how important the profession of health doctors is, how hard it is to be a teacher and what happiness it turns out to be to have the right to just walk in the Park.

Moms and dads had to take an active part in children's education. And this was not the easiest task. The quarantine showed that being a parent 24 hours a day is difficult, it was much easier to send a child to kindergarten and school, where specialists will take care of their education. "Children need teachers who they see live: their voice, intonation, so that the main idea reaches them. What a strange woman says on TV, the child does not learn. Parents have to explain something, look at Google. We don't have the amount of knowledge that a teacher has," parent wrote on my grade chat. It was the comments at the beginning of the distance learning.

My training process in quarantine began with some difficulties. Because we were not ready for distance learning. But the Ministry of Education has helped us simplify our work by preparing various courses, seminars, and instructional videos for teachers. TV channels and various platforms were invented in distance learning. Thanks to mektep edu, Daryn online, we taught students to learn online.. A WhatsApp group and a technical support team was also formed to assist teachers. On the WhatsApp group, all the colleagues were supporting each other wherever required. On the teacher’s end, I was satisfied that we were not left alone by the school. I was concerned about the pupils. We ended the 2019-2020 academic year with some difficulties. But this year it was much easier for us. Because we have been preparing all summer. Now students and parents monitor classes, perform them on time, and make feedback. Parents also understood the value of the teacher. At the moment, I have a YouTube channel where I prepare the videos of my daily online lessons. All in order for my students’ comfortable learning lessons. Even then, there are several problems, such as the internet problem. In general, I think that such a new format of training is partly correct. I can say with confidence that we are teachers who provide comprehensive education.

In our time, in the 21st century, it is impossible to imagine holding educational and training events without using the Internet. And by the will of fate, we were quarantined and in the distance learning mode, which gives us the opportunity to master and use a huge number of educational platforms, applications and programs.

Now the whole world is looking at the work of teachers with a close (пристальным взглядом) eye, and we must maintain remote communication with our students in such a way that there are no complaints from parents, administration and higher authorities. And the most important thing is to organize the distance learning process so that students do not lose interest in their favorite school subjects and studies in General.

It is important for each of us to remember that distance learning is effective only if the materials are available to the student.
