A study of parent’s opinion on online teaching in Delhi-NCR schools

Abstract

Objectives: To explore the challenges parents face when their children study online. Their views and opinions on the efficacy of the online learning program and the attributes of virtual classes are sought in the study. Methods: A survey study was conducted with an online questionnaire administered to more than 2000 parents of pre primary and primary classes from ten public schools of Delhi National Capital Region. Findings: More than 75% of the parents surveyed are satisfied with the online classes taking place and believed that it is working for them. 41% of the parents are of the opinion that teaching methodology is the most important factor enhancing the teaching-learning process in virtual mode for the parents. 29% of the parents believe that personalised attention given to the children can improve the system. These findings help in strengthening the process of online teaching. Novelty: In the recent months a lot of research has been happening in India on the feasibility and efficacy of the online classes owing to the closure of the school after the outbreak of the pandemic. However, most of this research does not take into account the digital divide the parents face. The current study addresses this gap and looks at the online teaching-learning process from the parents’ point of view, which can assist the policy makers. Keywords: Online teaching; parent’s opinion; parental intervention; primary classes

Kontribusi Orang Tua Dalam Pendampingan Belajar Siswa Selama Masa Pandemi

“…Berdasarkan hasil temuan dan analisis didapat simpulan bahwa kunci keberhasilan pembelajaran daring tidak hanya dibebankan pada orang tua semata yang kenyataan di lapangan mereka juga memiliki kesibukan. Seluruh komponen lingkungan pendidikan harus bisa saling bekerja sama demi kelancaran proses pembelajaran seperti yang diutarakan (Malik, 2020) bahwa sekolah dan orang tua harus bekerja sama demi membangun lingkungan belajar anak-anak terutama ketika siswa bergantung pada lingkungan sekolah dan keluarga. Selanjutnya (Rusmiati et al, 2020) dalam artikelnya menyatakan jika keberhasilan pembelajaran daring secara umum ditentukan oleh kesiapan teknologi dukungan dan kolaborasi dari semua pemangku kepentingan, termasuk pemerintah, sekolah, guru, orang tua dan masyarakat.…”

Challenges to Remote Instruction During the Pandemic: A Qualitative Study with Primary Grade Teachers in India

“…For example, Timmons et al ( 2021 ) found that teachers did not use differentiated instruction to address the needs of individual learners and did not implement inquiry learning pedagogical approaches commonly used in primary grade classrooms. Researchers in India reported that children did not feel connected in online classes, felt distracted, and did not feel comfortable communicating with their teachers through online platforms (Malik & Tyagi, 2020 ).…”

“…However, school administrators, teachers, and parents hardly had any time for preparing for this transition (Erlam et al, 2021 ). As a result, the process, and outcomes of remote instruction during the pandemic have been widely contested around the world (Malik & Tyagi, 2020 ). Overseeing the teaching and learning process as well as serving as mediators between the home and school, teachers are critical informants who can share their experiences and insights gained during the remote instruction process.…”
