Transition to Homeschooling during Schooling Process

Abstract

Distance education applications enable students and teachers to realize their learning processes at the same or different times, regardless of location. The aim of this study is to examine the transition process to homeschooling in the schooling process. For this purpose, firstly the literature on the historical development of distance education has been discussed. Later, the strategies and policies followed by the Ministry of National Education were included in the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic that the world was exposed to, and in this process, evaluations were made in the context of online learning, which is the most appropriate method for "social distance" and a type of distance education. By examining the effect of this type of education on various factors and levels of education, competencies related to online education were expressed and concerns about the access of disadvantaged family children to education were included. Inferences have been made that learning experiences during the pandemic period can have a lasting impact on education systems and that a smooth transition to distance learning is necessary to ensure continuity of learning in case face-to-face education services in schools are interrupted in the future.
