The coronavirus disease pandemic affected people's lives in different ways, including child education and parent-child interactions. The present study aimed to identify the educational opportunities of children and challenges of parents during this pandemic.
This study was conducted using a qualitative and phenomenological method. The participants were 23 parents of children aged 7-12 years, selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews, which continued until data saturation was reached, and then classified and processed following Strauss and Glasser's approach.
The findings were classified as parenting transformation, attachment challenges, and parenting challenges due to macro-systemic changes. Online education and changes caused by social distancing were the most significant parenting challenges. Moreover, children did not have the necessary space to be independent and self-sufficient.
For many children, adapting to virtual education has been challenging; therefore, parents should change their parenting control and support. The emergence of such challenges has led to the creation of more opportunities in the field of child education.
冠状病毒病大流行以不同方式影响人们的生活,包括儿童教育和亲子互动。本研究旨在确定在此次大流行期间儿童的教育机会和家长面临的挑战。
本研究采用定性和现象学方法。参与者为23名7至12岁儿童的家长,采用目的抽样法选取。通过半结构化访谈收集数据,访谈持续进行直至达到数据饱和,然后按照施特劳斯和格拉斯的方法进行分类和处理。
研究结果分为育儿方式转变、依恋关系挑战以及宏观系统变化导致的育儿挑战。在线教育和社交距离带来的变化是最显著的育儿挑战。此外,孩子们没有足够的空间实现独立和自给自足。
对许多孩子来说,适应虚拟教育具有挑战性;因此,家长应改变育儿方式,给予更多支持。这些挑战的出现为儿童教育领域创造了更多机会。
