Teachers' Opinions on Second Grade Language Skills of Students Who Learned Initial Literacy Through Distance Education

This study examines teachers' opinions on how the language skills in the second grade (listening, speaking, reading, writing) of students who learned initial literacy in the first grade of elementary school (2020-2021) through distance education due to the pandemic were affected. This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative research model. The study group comprised 18 teachers who conducted first-grade initial literacy teaching via distance education in 2020-2021 academic year and worked in the second grade during 2021-2022 academic year. Each teacher had instructed first grade at least three times in their career. A semi-structured interview form served as the data collection tool, and thematic analysis was employed for data analysis. The data yielded four themes: listening skills, speaking skills, reading skills, and writing skills, with corresponding sub-themes identified and interpreted. Participants reported that the pandemic led to temporary school closures and a shift from face-to-face to distance learning for first-grade literacy. Consequently, students missed the opportunity to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through direct interaction in the classroom. They stated the limitations and conditions of distance education were cited as reasons for this shortfall. As a result, they stated that there are inadequacies in students' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, and that these inadequacies have a negative impact on their listening skills in the second grade. This resulted in inadequacies in students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, negatively impacting their second-grade. It was reported that there were lack of gains in the achievements of this group compared to the students of previous years, and that these were due to the fact that the initial literacy teaching was carried out through distance education.

Frequency of electronic device use among school-aged children

As a result of rapid technological development, electronic devices have become an inseparable part of everyday life. Numerous studies show a significant increase in the frequency and duration of electronic device use among children and youth, pointing to potential negative consequences of excessive use. The aim of this study is to examine the frequency of electronic device use among early school-age children and to determine differences in usage based on place of residence and parental behaviors. The study involved 87 parents (68 mothers and 19 fathers) of first-grade primary school children. The research was conducted in Brčko District. Data collection on the frequency of electronic device use in children was done through a parent questionnaire consisting of 11 items, designed specifically for the purposes of the study. The research results indicate that 66.7% of first-grade elementary school children use electronic devices daily, with 94.3% of respondents using electronic devices for up to 3 hours per day. The most used devices among children are mobile phones and tablets (54%), followed by TV (46%), and even 42.5% of respondents own their own electronic device for use. Children who do not have established usage rules by parents tend to use electronic devices significantly more frequently and for longer durations, as do children from urban areas compared to those from rural/suburban areas. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the frequency and duration of device usage based on parental employment status. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that excessive use of electronic devices is present among early school-age children, and such results imply the need for parental education and prevention of long-term consequences on children's development.

This study was conducted to examine the domestic practicing trends of continuity between preschool and elementary education, and to confirm what future tasks will be for leum education in the future. The subjects of this study are 56 cases of continuity between preschool and elementary education practices for young children, and supporting teachers and parents on continuity between preschool and elementary education. In this study, the text presented in the analysis data was examined using the content analysis method, and then the frequency by category was calculated and cases were analyzed. As a result of the study, first, “continuity between preschool and elementary education practices through curriculum implementation” was the most common with 66 times, and relatively the least with 0 training for childcare teachers, 0 conference for childcare teachers, and 1 conference for parents. Second, in terms of curriculum implementation, continuity between preschool and elementary education provides an opportunity for young children to explore elementary schools on their own, but most of them are one-time experience activities, and literacy and learning were also emphasized from the perspective of learning readiness. In terms of strengthening teachers and parents' capabilities, continuity between preschool and elementary education focuses on understanding the curriculum, and the conference was primarily centered on kindergarten teachers or was conducted as a one-time meeting between parents before and after school. In terms of creating an educational environment, continuity between preschool and elementary education formed a common space and a play space in the classroom of the first grade of elementary school and opened a new integrated school, but there were few attempts to link it with existing private kindergartens and daycare centers. Through the results, the study suggests the implementation of continuity between preschool and elementary education that reflects the subjectivity of young children, and the discovery of cases of continuity between preschool and elementary education that utilize community resources and support various young children's characteristics.
