Course Title/Number: Education 41–Social Dimension of Education

Activities/ Assessment:
Do a research on the comments of Social Theories on the present educational
“new normal “system that is happening now. Make your comment

Online learning has big impact in education, as this is what we call the “new normal”
now. We may don’t want but the education is unending, we must adapt to the new
normal. As a student participating in the home-learning program, online school was
confusing to adjust to as we had not been prepared through simulations or practices
beforehand. Students reported the home-learning program to be even more stressful
than regular classrooms. Some of the common reasons for this went along the lines of:
"Normal classes may have been difficult, but having friends makes it so much more
manageable and less stressful. Online classes take out the benefits of having friends to
socialize with and being stuck alone with nothing but assignments.

Reflection:

One thing is clear during this challenging time: evolution is key. The COVID-19 situation
has proved that school and teachers need to be prepared for extreme global events that
may arise in the future. Whether it is adapting services and products to deal with a
situation, or strategic thinking for current and future challenges, it is important to learn
lessons and take positive actions from the adversities that we are presently
experiencing. Once the world returns to “normal” and we resume our busy lives, it will
be easy to forget what we have learnt during this period. But positivity can be taken
from this experience, and it is that it has allowed us the time.
