Answer:
Because of Lockdown, all the classes have been converted to distance learning. Students are using their mobile phones for accessing the learning material. The students are facing challenges with the use of mobile phones as the devices are not compatible for accessing the learning material in many cases.
Some students are also unable to connect to the Internet for accessing the learning material due to poor network conditions or low-speed Internet connection at their place of residence. Hence, the students find it difficult to access the learning material.
The fact that they cannot do hands-on experience with their schoolwork because of social distancing norms makes it difficult for them to understand concepts and solve problems in an applied way. Students feel that they are not able to demonstrate their learning through any hands-on approach.
They also face challenges of time management. The teachers also find it difficult to manage the classes through online teaching. There is no possibility of having in-person class activities or PBL projects. The students feel frustrated when they realize that they are not able to complete the assigned tasks and assignments.
It is observed that students are unable to complete the course work and submit it on time as a result of lack of access to computers with sufficient technical knowhow and access to learning material. This has caused a delay in submission of assignment to the teachers and hence affecting the quality of their work. Students have also reported that they are unable to submit assignments as their parents are not allowing them to step out of their houses due to fear of contracting the virus. The students are also facing difficulty in using the devices as their parents are not aware about the use of mobile devices and other technical knowhow required for completing the course.
