Application

Look for a copy of a research article from a reliable journal. Be able to discuss the following information
about the Introduction and be able to share it with a classmate. Your classmate will in turn do the same.
You must record your conversation and submit it in due time. Here are the following points to comment
on:

1. What is the subject matter of the research article? What is it about?

-Effect of pandemic based online education on teaching and learning system Although COVID 19
pandemic struck hard in every walk of life, teachers and students resumed their journey soon by setting
up emergency remote learning platforms using various online collaborative tools in hand, even without a
pre-planned course structure or proper training to teachers or students for adapting to the change. Both
the learners' group and teachers group were predominantly in favour of regular classes. Most felt regular
classes were better in terms of efficiency, interaction, and overall understanding. Although there is some
level of comfort in learning/teaching from home, various technical issues and the extra effort one has to
put in make the process taxing on students and teachers.

2. What argument/s does the paper try to expound or explain?

-There are numerous advantages and potential in online classes for both teachers and students. It is
entirely possible to deliver the same quality of education through web-based resources with almost the
same level of success. In the current era, it is also vital that students develop technology-based
reasoning and communication skills as going online is the new norm be it for education or a job. Virtual
classes also have positive impacts on students. It requires them to develop independent and critical
thinking, problem-solving, decision making, and time management. Quality of interaction in online
classes will increase once teachers can effectively use technology and educational institutions develop
their technological infrastructure. This study found a certain amount of stress (physical and mental) on
both students and teachers much of which can be eliminated by getting used to this mode and by setting
up classes in a way that is comfortable to all the parties. Lack of student-teacher communication is also a
major challenge faced by students and teachers from both lower and higher strata of education.
Do you agree with the author’s thesis? Why?

-Yes I agree because for me as a students I will have a hard time understanding the lesson because it is
different when the teacher teaches face to face.

How will s/he explore answers to prove his thesis or his query?

-in the way of reading the result and discussion

Do you find the paper interesting? Why?

-Yes because to also know what is the disadvantage of the online class
