In February 2020, children couldn't go to school because ofNovel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒). In order not to delay the children's learning, many schools decided to begin online teaching activities.
Online teaching can be said to be a more effective learning method when the school is not open, which can not only avoidcross-infection(交叉感染), but also provide learning opportunities for children. However, there are many students and parents do not like online teaching. They think there are more disadvantages than advantages. Do you know the reasons?
There are many advantages about online teaching. The biggest one is that it can be practiced over and over again, and the operation is very simple, just need to record the video of the teacher's class. Another advantage of online teaching is itsnovelty(新奇).Children like novelty, and the long-term step-by-step way of attending classes in the classroom makes some students tired of learning. However, in the short term, online teaching canstimulate(激发)children's interest in learning, and even help develop their independent learning ability.
There are also many disadvantages. First, the biggest one isthe lack of interaction(缺乏互动).Although there are a lot of online teaching software, and teachers can see the students through the camera and communicate with them by voice. But can the teachers and students interact well? Of course they can't. Second, online teaching is difficult to know the students' learning situation well. Third, some students use online classes as an excuse to play mobile phones or games.
There is also a big disadvantage about online teaching: children need to look at a screen for a long time. It must be bad for their eyes. According to a netizen, the online teaching schedule in a school is from 8 a.m. to 4 p. m, with a 2-hour break at noon. Can a child's eyes stand looking at a screen for so long?
