Challenges of learning/ teaching online.

 Due to the corona virus pandemic and the extraordinary situation lockdown, all educational process going to be online and use technology as a primary source for learning. 

As teacher, many problems can face us, first is internet connectivity, not all time it good, so it disconnects during session, and cause miss understanding of idea for students. Also, it is difficult for teacher to engage students for longer period of time, they can easily get distracted during live session. Furthermore, the difficulty of communication of teacher during online class, Online teaching is like communicating without body language, so students might misunderstand and can result in poor performance. In addition, as for the feedback problem, where teacher find it difficult to give feedback for all students individually, so for me, did not find proper methods of providing feedback to all the students.

  • On the other hand,as for students 's challenges in the learning process:

 -  How to adapt to an Online learning (especial at the beginning)

- Technical issues

- Computer knowledge problems 

- Distraction issues 




To avoid problems when working online.

 There are many rules that must be taught to students when working online to avoid problems.

 First, we can mention the training and give instruction to students on how they use Internet programs. Also, organize the time in a way that is in line with the circumstances (such the power outages for examples). And students should try to be more serious. 

Second, students should know that the learning online, is like the learning in school, they are obligated  to attend the online session to well understand the concept. Also, they should know that they are responsible to participate if teacher ask them, not to turn off the mike.Some students students feel like they don’t have to be involved in online class discussions, even when it’s required by teacher.

Teacher has a role in informing students that they responsible to submit asseigments or exams on time to avoid the lose of grades or the late submission. So teacher can set a reminders for asseigments and send it to students one week before the submission deadline.

In addition ,it is essentiel to help students who had a poor computer skills,to avoid the computer knowledge problem,because some students face difficulties with live classes, usage of appropriate tools and apps, MS office,or browsing study materials.

Why we teach students science ?

Scientific skills are integral to every aspect of a student’s education and life, from school to career. So, it seems important to teach the scientific method to students to provide them with skills of how to think, learn, solve problems and make informed decisions

Also, science teaches students about the world around them and it enhances creativity, because experimenting requires trial and error so students try many times and new ideas that fosters creativity. In addition, when students discover something on their own and become a self-taught or independent learner is lifelong process 

:so ,we teach teach science to 

provide students with tools to understand the world -  

be able to use the scientific methods -  

develop inquiry ability -  

  - develop descriptive and explanation skills  
 

  

  

What can we do now that we were not able to do a year ago?

One year ago ,the majority of  domains are going to be online, Corona virus block everything, no attending to  school, no gatherings, no goi...
