The Online Education System: COVID-19 Demands, Trends, Implications, Challenges, Lessons, Insights, Opportunities, Outlooks, and Directions in the Work from Home

Abstract

The aim of this exploratory research is to identify how working from home and the consequent social isolation interfered in teachers’ work and students’ learning and to identify the challenges, difficulties, advantages, opportunities, demands, trends, implications, outlooks, lessons, directions, and feelings of students and teachers in the teaching processes during the COVID-19 pandemic period. To reach its aim, the authors of this paper developed searches and scientific databases and they also sent an email questionnaire to Rio de Janeiro city schools. The descriptive analyses were made by descriptive statistics (proportions, rates, minimum, maximum, mean, median, standard deviation, coefficient of variation—CV). The results show that working from home and the consequent social isolation interfered in the students’ and teachers’ feelings and sensations and highlight the words “frustration”, “hope”, and “strangeness”. From the sample, 96.4% of the teachers affirmed that working from home and the social isolation interfered in their work and 97.4% of the teachers affirmed that working from home and the consequent social isolation interfered in the students’ learning. This research is the starting point to boost discussions on the subjects of COVID-19, working from home, social isolation, and education. This paper will support researchers in the development of future studies related to the subjects.

Evaluation of the Implementation of 'SIPS-MUDA' School Payment Information System

“…One of the uses of technology in education is creating an up-to-date payment information system. The background of the problem in school payment information is a classic conversation and does not end in a solution (Dias et al, 2021;Farma et al, 2020;González-Calatayud et al, 2021;Kalogiannakis et al, 2021). The common problem is that the payment reports are out of sync caused of the negligence of the individual in charge of recording payments, the treasurer, or administrative staff due to the manual system; this problem is often found in various Indonesian schools (Lenniawati & Anastasia, 2021;Rakasiwi & Kusumo, 2021).…”
