As we’ve said in a previous article, emergency remote teaching enforced by the Covid-19 pandemic is not synonymous with online learning. Online learning comes with a different type of pedagogy that should address content, teaching methods, and student/teacher relationships. Of course, all of that is according to the characteristics of the new learning environment.
The socializing role of the school is essential for child development. As we all know, schools are not just a place where knowledge and content are transferred from teachers to students. Granted, students go to school to learn things, but schooling is more than that. Schools are communities where students of all ages continuously interact with their peers and teachers.
Socialization is a complex process in which humans learn the intricacies of human behavior. Far from being “soft” skills, proper social skills are, in fact, crucial for all individuals. As members of a social species, people cannot survive alone and have learned to cooperate with other individuals.
