The Future of Distance Learning: Streamlined Labs in Virtual Education

Contemporary technologies afford us the opportunity to augment and substitute traditional in-person classes with computer-based resources commonly known as virtual labs. Before the global pandemic, physical classrooms offered a hands-on learning environment for students. However, the pandemic has rendered in-person labs impractical, making it challenging for students to engage with faculty members directly. In the present scenario, the preference for remote education has surged due to safety concerns. With proper internet access, students now have the flexibility to conduct experiments from the comfort of their homes. Despite the inherent challenges associated with online learning, virtual labs serve as a valuable solution, addressing some of these issues. The utilization of simulation-based learning, especially in subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology, contributes significantly to students' comprehension of key concepts. Virtual labs play a pivotal role in fostering problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creativity, imagination, understanding of scientific processes, laboratory skills, as well as heightened interest and perception. Consequently, it becomes imperative for educators to integrate virtual labs into their teaching methodologies to enhance the quality of instruction and improve students' learning outcomes.

The Evolving Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Future of Distance Learning: Exploring the Next Frontier

In recent years, education has become especially related to the applications provided by artificial intelligence technology through a digital environment that includes a set of tools that assist in processing and storing information. Artificial intelligence techniques contribute to the development of students' skills by providing them with advanced scientific content and building their mental capabilities faster. Moreover, these techniques support analysing student data and suggest suitable educational materials and activities for them. Artificial intelligence is a noteworthy tool for the growth of distance education, especially after the development of expert systems that have become a human advisor in many domains, as this leads to the development of education systems that adjust the level of difficulty of materials based on the student’s performance in the electronic classroom, which ensures that the student continues in education and is not frustrated. This article will review the influential role of artificial intelligence applications in growing distance learning, improving the quality of education, and making it an adaptable and practical environment for students.

중등 예비수학교사가 경험한 학교현장실습에서의 원격수업에 대한 내러티브 탐구

Objectives This study explores te experience of distance learning in practicum of seoncdary pre-service mathmatics teachers. The future of distance learning and the system for the effective practicum within and without the school field were discussed.
 Methods Three of fourth-grade students of the mathematics education department attending a local university were selected as research participants, and data collection and interviews were conducted. Data were collected for two months from October 2021, and interviews were conducted either directly with the research participants or using Zoom.
 Results The distance learning experienced by the secondary pre-mathematics teacher was insignificant, and the secondary pre-service mathematics teachers experienced difficulties due to the lack of interactive communication with students in distance learning at school, unskilled time arrangement and document implementation, and the gap of class participation among students. In addition, it was found that the practicum serves as an opportunity for secondary school pre-service mathematics teachers to improve the difficulties and problems they experienced.
 Conclusions Based on these findings, it was discussed that the advantages of distance learning should be maximized in the school field and the up-coming system of practicum, the gap of the quality of experience in practicum caused by differences between practical schools should be minimized, and the ability of pre-service mathematics teachers using technology in class should be improved.

The Future of Distance Learning as Perceived by Faculty Members

A questionnaire survey of 33,987 faculty members in April 2020 revealed predominantly negative evaluations of learning effectiveness in the context of distance learning, as compared to in-person instruction, and a rather pessimistic vision of the future of higher education in Russia. This article formulates hypotheses about the reasons of such attitudes among faculty members and provides arguments for possible opinion shifts and alleviation of resistance to technological change. The paramount problem consists in the contradiction between the acceptance of the idea and value of digital innovation and the rejection of such at the level of personal teaching practices. During expert interviews, faculty members were offered alternative scenarios of the future. The data obtained was then used to analyze the attitudes and beliefs behind their resistance and to find out which perceptions of the future correlated with negative and positive evaluations of distance learning.

The paper presents fraction of the teaching process with first-grade students of primary school during the pandemic. An explanation of the key words will be presented, the historical development of distance learning, the practical application of distance learning in the 2019/2020 school year, and the future of distance learning.

DISTANCE EDUCATION: PROPOSALS AND THREATS

Even though there are remedial actions in relation to the current situations of innovation on the social basis, there are always threats that are likely to arise in the process of attaching the new innovations to the traditional one. The main aim of this study is to identify the relationship between education and innovation, focusing at opportunities and threats that emerge as a result of constructing educational processes within the innovative components that deviates from the specificity of Turkey and hence develop suggestions. Distance education system, which brings the transformation in educational processes, affects the performance of actors and contents hence causing problems from the other side and trouble shooting from the other side. For this reason, development of actions policy is important by quickly understanding opportunities and threats that arises from innovation. In this study, the importance of the issue has been explained in details by taking its theoretical and practical dimensions into consideration. Projections regarding the future of distance learning have been also established in this article

Gender and Distance Learning

This article examines distance learning from a gender perspective. In any new area of enterprise, expectations have an important effect on planning, implementation, and evaluation. When it comes to distance learning, a variety of images of what this exciting new technology will look like and what it can empower us to achieve will determine how we develop it. In a study about technological experts' expectations and desires for their own technologies, the fantasies articulated by women and men are different in important and predictable ways. Women wish for small, appealing objects that allow them to collaborate, to create, to share their work, and to integrate their work and home lives. Men wish for magic wands that give them enormous power, fabulous speed, and infinite wisdom. This culturally sanctioned difference in technological expectations has real implications for the future of distance learning. Both perspectives are needed if distance-learning technology is to be successfully integrated into our school system.
