Parental Perceptions of Their Preschool and Elementary School Children with Respect to Teacher-Family Relations and Teaching Methods During the First COVID-19 Lockdown

Abstract

The goal of this study was to learn about parental perceptions of their preschool and elementary school children with respect to relations with the teachers and various aspects of distance learning used during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Israel. Research was carried out in the summer of 2020 among 602 parents, comprising a representative sample of parents of children in preschool, grades 1-2, and grades 3-6 of the Jewish population of Israel. Participants completed a questionnaire designed for this study that sought to measure attitudes towards aspects of distance learning (e.g., Zoom lessons) and how the teachers related to the children and parents. Findings indicate that the child's age had an impact on how the parent perceives the activities of the children and the teachers with respect to several forms of distance learning imposed by the pandemic. At all ages, parental interpretation of the impact of the pandemic on teacher-family relations was found to contribute to the explained variance regarding parental evaluation of the children's and teachers' activities as well as the variance in attitudes about distance learning (both online and asynchronous). Also, parents of every age cohort reported that they were more involved in their children's distance learning than in encouraging the children to reach out to their friendsthe parents of third through sixth graders were even less involved than parents of the younger children.

Parental Obstacles During Distance Learning Mathematics in Indonesia: A Phenomenology Study

“…Consequently, the feedback provided by mathematics teachers is limited and not optimal (Akar & Erden, 2021;Chirinda et al, 2021;Davis et al, 2019;Kalogeropoulos et al, 2021). The lack of feedback then encourages parents to become more involved in their children's at-home distance learning (Tal et al, 2022).…”

La credencial académica no solo debe ser un concepto de desarrollo intelectual que permita desarrollar habilidades analíticas y críticas (Tal et al, 2022), sino que también debe ser sinónimo de resolución de problemas institucionales.…”

“…El autor Tal et al, (2022) descubrió que los entornos de aprendizaje de apoyo en el aula (especialmente las interacciones positivas entre docentes y alumnos) y la mejora de los logros y las actitudes de los alumnos se correlacionan positivamente. Sakamoto, (2020) también encontró una correlación débil entre las características del diseño del aprendizaje en línea, que puede considerarse como un aspecto del sistema de aprendizaje, y los resultados del aprendizaje de los estudiantes.…”

PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) in Teachers: A Mini Meta-Analysis during COVID-19

“…In the pandemic era, teachers should have kept their distance from their students, something that makes it difficult to interact and relate with your students, especially with younger children (kindergarten, preschool, elementary school) [14,15]. In addition, they often had to be the support for many children [16,17] and families [18,19] who were being affected by the pandemic on an emotional, social, or economic level, with the extra burden this places on their work as well. In addition to this situation, they had all the demands of a teaching job, so they had to work above their responsibilities and with little or no support.…”
