The challenges teachers faced included keeping students focused on distance learning and addressing their social-emotional needs, while students struggled with distractions and lack of understanding at home. The pandemic exposed inequities as many lacked technology or internet access for remote learning. Moving forward, outdoor education and additional training for teachers and students in remote learning tools could help address issues highlighted by the pandemic.

Activity 1 : Interview Summary

What were the challenges that they encountered with teaching/learning this past
year?
TEACHER
Today, I’ve interviewed a teacher and she said that pandemic hits them very hard. As a
result, they are devoting their leisure or free time to assisting pupils in accessing the digital
classrooms. This extra assistance is provided only after teachers have spent a significant amount of
time arranging lessons to keep pupils focused and expending enormous amounts of energy
motivating children who are easily distracted. “We're exhausted, and we're worried about our
pupils' ability to make up for lost academic time and their safety. Teachers are working hard to
close academic gaps and meet students' social-emotional needs and safety concerns, but all of
these variables are taking an emotional toll on teachers and school employees”. “Our greatest
difficulty is our separation with the pupils, which stems from their inability to have... Some of
them don't have access to the internet, while others don't have computers”, says of my
interviewee.
STUDENT
For an elementary student that I have interviewed, one of the challenges that they
encountered was lack of focus. He was easily get distracted in learning at home because there
were times that when he is answering his module, he keeps playing on his cellphone. And there
are times that he feels that he wasn’t learning at all because he used to learn at school, not in
their home. Sometimes, his parents would be the one to answer his module because there are
things that he doesn’t understand at all especially in Math subject.
REALIZATIONS
This whole situation is a reflection of all the things that were wrong with education before
COVID hit. Everyone knows equity is a huge problem. Everyone in education knew that the lack of
technology was a problem. The large number of students who did not have the tools to do any
kind of learning at home was already tremendous. You’re already leaving them behind. Some
schools have everything they need to do everything, and they’re majority-white and they’re
middle-class schools. Everyone else is sitting back, going, ‘We’ve never had what we needed. But
now we’re supposed to just make it work in the middle of a pandemic?’ The pandemic exposed all
of those things.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to both educational issues and potential.
Education experts suggest that prioritizing opportunities for real education through the
curriculum, learning priorities, and learning environments shows a future direction for education
that might be studied further after children return to school. Outdoor education is showing to be a
potentially effective path for managing space and physical distancing in educational environments,
as well as providing promising learning situations. Finally, prolonged school cancellations have
highlighted the need for both students and instructors to receive additional training. Teachers
need additional training in the efficient use of technology tools required for successful instruction,
just as students now need to learn how to work more independently.
