It is common knowledge that physical education meaning
educating yourself in a particular location where the teacher and student are
present physically is better than online. There is a common misconception that
kids don’t concentrate enough in online classes. So, any certification course
or an online course is immediately shunned by the parents or the teachers.
There are plenty of online courses available and most of them offer
certification courses that can enhance a person’s skills.
Of course, there exist many graduation courses from top
universities like MIT, Harvard, and Stanford but many would not accept these
certificates as Legit because of the fraud that exists. While the perceptions
are changing, it would still be a tenacious journey for the world to trust
online education and the certificates that come through it.
While the debate about the validity will go on, what do
you need to know about online education and physical education to form an
informed opinion? Many questions arise- like- Will students be able to
concentrate better? What kind of qualifications do teachers who teach online
possess? Here is an attempt to offer clarity over these questions and many
more.
What is happening in the world of learning?
For over a thousand years, the world has depended on the
physical transfer of knowledge. It used to be oral until the period we
discovered writing. After the shift into writing, there was no turning back
since the tools to write with and write upon changed but not the process of
writing. The language had a massive shift, the style of writing changed, the
nuance of it changed but the process of putting pen over leaves or paper, etc.,
hasn’t. Until there was a device that required us to type. The shift took over
a couple of thousands of years and there is no turning back now.
Now, all of the official communication happens over
electronic devices that require us to type content into devices. Writing with a
pen is almost an antique medium that is slowly dying out. The shift might go
further until typing becomes a basic necessity for all the students.
Education too had shifted its form and hasn’t lost its
way until intercontinental communication became the easiest. It is no wonder
that we hold something that was followed for thousands of years with such high
regard. But since the shift from offline to online, the world has been moving
towards the easiest ways of learning things.
It is evident in learning basic like skills Learning
recipes, changing car tires, hairstyling & makeup. Things like these that
require physical training or instructions from books are now being learned from
online videos. Not just these but there are many skills that weren’t common
knowledge because learning them would mean going somewhere physically and
spending time. Online learning has made it possible for common people not just
students to learn skills that they would otherwise not learn.
But this shift hasn’t made a dent in schools and colleges
because we still hold traditional education in high regard. The government
hasn’t yet approved online learning as a valid form of education until
recently. The companies/ organizations that weren’t considering online
certifications a decade ago started considering them and even encouraging their
employees to take online courses.
But schools…? We are still skeptical about online
schooling because we were brought up with the notion that education is not just
learning but it makes us more disciplined, more social, and more skillful than
sitting at home and studying alone. It is also a proven fact and so, many
countries encourage sending kids to school at younger ages.
But what of students that are of a higher age group?
Adolescent Students, that know that learning is an important part of life and
would actually keep their mind to it if they are interested? We never think of
these kids as conscious beings and that they would focus on studying since they
want to become something.
Some kids/ people learn how to repair bikes, cook, write
code, mix music, edit videos, change car tires, make soaps, and a lot more by
watching Youtube videos. No single teenager’s students have ever compelled them
to learn how to do these. These all happened because of their interest and the
availability of information. In a way, online education helped more since
traditionally these courses would be expensive and a lot more time-consuming.
The important factor to consider here is that learning is
the basic essence of human beings and due to this very important factor we are
where we are. The above examples let us know that focus on when learning
something interesting comes without effort.
Educational websites that offer various courses for
schools, colleges, and competitive exams are making an effort to improve their
quality of education by hiring qualified professionals. Many organizations like
Vedantu, Byju’s, Yupp Master are known for their faculty and the tenacious
interview process that they go through while hiring.
The shift to online education is inevitable and more and
more people would join the digital revolution as time goes by. The companies
are preparing their employees for the same. The unemployed have already been
making use of that. The future where schooling will be digitalized is not far
and parents must prepare themselves and their children for the same.
