Covid-19 Pandemisi Sürecinde Türkiye Ve Çin’de Uzaktan Eğitim Süreç Ve Uygulamalarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

The biggest disaster of 2020 for the whole world is undisputedly the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus spread rapidly all over the world, first in China; the whole world experienced a nightmare so to speak, and the health system in many countries collapsed. In order to prevent further transmission of this virus, collective activities were either stopped or continued with precautionary measures. In this context, some measures have been taken in the field of education, and in general, educational institutions were gradually closed and they started distance education. In the transition to distance education, countries have developed different practices in accordance with their own means. The distance education processes and practices during this period in Turkey, which has substantial educational infrastructure and practices, and in China, where the Covid-19 pandemic first started, were researched. As a method, a case study, one of the qualitative research methods was carried out. Document review was made in order to examine the distance education practices of the countries. Data collected by document review were analyzed with content analysis. According to this; Turkey primarily made efforts to continue education through television channels (EBA TV), trying to reach students. Later, teachers and students were brought together by using distance education portals for some grades. With a hybrid learning approach, both distance and face-to-face education were carried out for a short time, and then education continued with only distance education. In China, video broadcasts were made on television for the first time, and online lessons were also given on demand. Mechanisms have been developed where the student is at the center and teachers and students can connect in various online environments. By assigning responsibilities to parents, cooperation was established with parents by trying to strengthen the parent-student relationship. With the slogan "School's Out, But Class's On," the psychological effects of the epidemic were tried to be reduced. In China, schools were partially opened in September 2020 and fully opened in October 2020. In short, Turkey and China have carried out similar distance education practices during the Covid-19 pandemic.
