Key Points
Briefly about the coronavirus
Coronavirus (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
The Covid-19 virus is mainly spread by sneezing or discharges from the nose. It is important to put a handkerchief or tissue paper over the mouth when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
The best way to prevent infection and slow the spread is to use a mask, wash your hands frequently with soap or use a sanitizer frequently, and protect yourself and others from infection without touching your nose or mouth without washing your hands.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus develop mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without special treatment. Older people and those who have basic medical problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, and cancer.
There are no specific vaccines or treatments for Covid-19. However, many clinical trials are underway to evaluate possible treatments. The WHO will continue to provide up-to-date information as clinical research becomes available.
Coronavirus and pupils
We all are going through an unprecedented global epidemic that brings uncertainty, depression, and doubts into our lives. Each of us, our families, our community, our country, and the world around us are struggling to get out of this new crisis. Many of us may feel overwhelmed by the thought of how this will affect our social, economic, education, and future. Many countries have now closed schools. This is unprecedented; the world has never seen school children out of school at the same time
It is normal to feel sad, anxious, confused, scared, or angry in such situations. Let's learn how students from affected countries can learn and study positively in times of uncertainty.
We are all together on this journey of crisis. The educational institutes and teachers have accepted this challenge so that the precious time of the students is not wasted. Work is underway to educate students by staying at home. Every teacher is trying their best to provide you with the best learning resources and help. Although this concept is new, students and parents are very supportive.
The best method of self-study
Self-study means studying without direct teacher supervision or not attending class. Education is a precious ornament. Just as ornamentation reveals a woman's beauty, education enhances a person's personality. Self-study is a valuable way to stay safe at home and continue learning at a time when schools are closed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. Online education is gaining popularity among parents and students. By completing formal education with home study, students can study on their own.
Many students are now studying at home. Learning to study on your own is a completely new concept for students. The benefits of knowledge gained by the student through self-study are endless. Self-study will definitely take your children to their goals.
New technologies, a growing global population, family, and financial difficulties make it impossible for everyone to go to school or college. Education is no longer limited to the classroom, and some claim that classroom education is now obsolete. It does not meet the intellectual needs of all individuals in society.
Recently, many open universities, internet encyclopedias, schools, colleges, and universities have made online courses available, making self-learning easier and more convenient. It is easy to learn a new language or get a certificate for career advancement. You can come to education in the comfort of your own home, at your own time, and at your own pace. At low cost, these teaching methods are encroaching on traditional educational institutions.
Self-study may seem difficult at first, but with effort, it becomes easier once the interest is created. Properly covered, it will withstand a lot of adverse conditions.
Set your goals
Before embarking on any journey we decide on the place, travel accordingly, and reach the desired place. Find out what you want to get out of it. Decide which subject you need to complete and how much time to study. Plan your time accordingly. Study regularly as planned.
Start the day early
One of the good habits of successful people is that they start their day early. Regularly get up early in the morning, exercise, be refreshed, and get ready for study as planned.
Start the study with a topic of interest
Converse with your child about what is taught in school and what topics your child is interested in. Start the study with the subject they are interested in. This will help encourage him to learn so that he will continue to learn what you already know. In addition, the method of learning is recognized as a major way of approaching this concept.
Read books and articles on a topic of study or interest. Whether it’s related to a course or just on your child’s own leisure, encouraging your kids to read it is a very effective way to understand new concepts. Try to provide your child with the best reading material for self-study.
Place of study
The place of study is crucial for effective study with concentration. This could mean a desk in your home, office, or student bedroom. Wherever it is, it should have a place to study properly. Care should be taken that there is no confusion and distraction, as well as good lighting in the space. So that there will be no time to stretch the eyes. It always contains calendars, schedules, some inspirational thoughts, and anything else that keeps you motivated. Take a good study chair. Do not study sitting on the bed or lying down.
Create schedules for all your subjects
Try to practice and revise at least one subject every day. Paste the timetable in front of you so you know if you're on track. Practice writing more with reading. Reading and writing help the students to memorize well.
Find home school groups
You will find both national and local groups on Facebook. Just search for "homeschooling" and your city or organization. If you know someone who already has a home school in your area, ask them for help. Most areas have home school groups or co-apps where you can join the group for information.
Find course options
There are hundreds of options available to choose from online courses. You can find many apps that provide books and course materials for the entire year of a given subject or for the entire online program. What you choose will depend on your child's learning style and what you will feel as a parent-teacher.
Watch educational videos to get children actively involved in this concept of study. Many tutorial videos are designed to teach children new skills or to complement the educational programs that students learn in school. You can benefit greatly from many audio and visual walkthroughs about science experiments.
There are many different ways to learn, e.g. using written books or using technology. Some students find it helpful to read aloud, while others like to take handwritten notes. Find what feels good to you and practice regularly with it.
Don't study all at once
Take a break during study time. Do not practice stretching. After half an hour or so get up, take a walk, go out and take a deep breath, water the plants, and eat a healthy nutritious diet at the break. Do not eat heavy food before and during the study as it will make you sleepy. Don't play video games or watch TV during these short breaks. It will make your mind bored.
Educational games are a favorite of children and parents when it comes to home-study methods. There are many apps in which you can easily study various courses in Mathematics, English, and other courses. Apart from mobile, you can use board games or card games that promote logic. Encourage your child to enjoy learning.
Self-evaluate
Monitor your progress and self-assess weekly. If you are happy with your progress, everything will be fine. And remember, nothing is impossible if you try without being frustrated by what you can't do. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses, and if a part seems overwhelming, you can seek the help of a parent or teacher.
Work through practice questions to reinforce the surviving part while learning at home. Including games, rewards, and challenges will help to keep your child focused while working through practice questions. This will help them to remember what they read.
Don't deceive yourself
These are online classes, they don't have teachers to keep an eye on the students, and they want to do their own work. If you deceive yourself now, you will ultimately deceive only your future success and happiness. Evaluate yourself and reduce your resistance to feedback, embrace your weaknesses, work on your strengths, and contribute 100% to your study.
Make notes yourself
Taking notes is an art and an essential thing for students who want to focus on their learning journey. Use your textbooks to take notes. Take notes as you study. Taking notes on your own helps you to remember that part.
Tools used for self-study require a computer, especially when it comes to reading books online, watching videos, or listening. However, if your self-stylist prefers to get things done by hand, non-digital options (e.g. pencils and notebooks) can be used.
Highlighters, colored pens, pencils, markers, and tools for taking notes are useful for home-learning students. Keeping notes while learning will enable your child to retain more information and help develop valuable collection skills.
Review the study
Review the part you learned on the day. It is important to take notes in online studies. After taking notes or reading a lesson from your textbook, try to memorize the part you read quietly. To better remember, re-read and write down that part. Although this action may seem a bit boring, reviewing the study helps to remember it for a long time.
In short, practice a little more frequently. Instead of reading too much at once, rehearse after a short break, this way, it doesn't feel boring if you study with your attention.
