"It looks like an internet world" How do Zipkok elementary school students get along?

<Anchor>

2020 was a year with more students missed school.

In particular, freshmen had little time to learn new school and meet new friends, so let's listen to a story from an elementary school student.

[Park Ji-min / Elementary 3 student: I think it has become an Internet world because only YouTube continues.

Friends, let's meet together for a long time when Corona is over.] In

this way, Corona has changed a lot from the way young students study and make friends.

In the process, adults should take care of whether our children have lost anything.

Reporter Ahn Seo-hyun and reporter Jung Hye-kyung covered the report

This two-hour video contains only the sound of flipping a bookshelf, the sound of writing down one letter and one letter on a notebook, and studying without saying anything.

It has 100,000 views.

It is a popular'study vlog' among students these days, and they take a long picture of studying and share it online.

This is a study diary taken as a kind of video.

[Kwon Na-kyung/High School 3rd student: I was trying to study with the thought of'I'm watching someone study me', so I think my concentration improved by trying to work hard even if I was conscious of others.]

Subscribers turn on this video and study.

It is trying to raise the tension that fell from being unable to go to school or reading room due to Corona 19, even online.

I'd like to see who's just studying quietly, but some videos are viewed millions of times.

[Seoyoon Choi/Student Junior 3rd: Normally I can't study well at home.

Watching others study, it stimulates me to study, so I think I'm watching (study

vlog

).]

Even elementary school students who are'zipcock' for nearly a year joined the study vlog craze.

Studying is also studying, but there is a big reason to share and communicate daily life that you cannot share with your friends through videos.

[Park Ji-min / Elementary 3 student: I think it has become an Internet world because only YouTube continues.

Friends, let's meet together and play for a long time when the corona is over.]

'Study certification' is also following on social media.

They make up their own study plan and take pictures of how well they are doing. In the case of Instagram, there are only 5 million related posts.

The number of people who are more actively looking for non-face-to-face self-learning methods also relays their study in real time so that all visitors can see each other.

[Lee Rang-hyuk/CEO of Online Reading Room: The number of subscribers to our online reading room or the number of study rooms itself has increased by almost four times (compared to last year).]

However, we cannot just welcome the new educational customs created by Corona 19.

Here are the findings of this investigation.

When we surveyed the use of media with 400 youths nationwide, one out of three answered that they were not satisfied with the online class.

In particular, over half of the opinions that it was not good for academic efficiency.

There is also a claim that online classes are straining the body as well.

In the United States, the concept of'zoom fatigue', taken from the video conferencing platform'zoom', has emerged, and it is that long-term online classes can tire the brain.

This is because the way you think everyone in attendance is watching you or keep looking at many people's faces at once is overstimulating your brain.

As such, because of Corona 19, the educational environment was forced to change rapidly without even having time for sufficient review.

<Reporter Jung Hye-kyung> There are 426,000

new elementary school students who entered the school for the first time this year.

Among them, I met three first-year children who had not reached 40 days of school.

What was the first grade of 2020 like for these kids?

I don't know when to go to school because I don't go to school whenever the epidemic rises or shows symptoms such as coughing or fever.

[Son

Joo-hee

: I do

n’t know yet.]

[Yoo

Joo-an

: I don’t know that.]

[Eun-Sol Lee: By dividing odd and even numbers?]

So now, I am 8 years old, but I feel that I am not enough to study at school myself.

[Eun-Sol Lee: At school, I study math and do a lot of other studies.. (But

I'm at

home) Playing with the dogs..]

[Son

Joo-hee:

I need to learn letters quickly.

I can't write well.] As

I didn't go to school, the role of the family grew.

All the questions about how to spend time at home begin with'mom'.

[Eun-Sol Lee: I do math (study) once when my mom and dad tell me.]

[Joo-Hee Son: My mom keeps...]

[Ju-An Yu: My mom tells me to study now.]

What's more regrettable is the exchange with peers.

[Son

Joo-hee: It means making friends

.]

[Yu

Joo-an

: It’s a break time.]

[Eun-Sol Lee: I have a lot of friends.] I

went to school only a few days, but I was wearing masks all day, so the only time I saw the faces of my friends was lunch time. .

Even during breaks, you have to sit down and talk out loud.

[Yu Joo-an: (Sit down) If you call your name and ask to talk with you, the teacher will give you permission.] Even this

was possible only after going to school.

[Eunsol Lee: I want to see my friends.

(How can I do it when I want to see it?) Sing a song that I miss, on the piano.]

[Kim Hyun-su/Mental Health Medicine Specialist: We (the countermeasure) are regrettable that we (the countermeasure) are overly aligned with the class and academic background.

I would like you to think that a sense of belonging and identity as a member of this society are essential nutrients for growth and psychological stability.]

Corona 19 has created an unprecedented educational environment.

A thorough study of what our children are losing and how to fill it seems urgent.
