Abstract:

Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, it has not only affected public health, but also caused significant changes in the habits of life. In addition to many economic, sociological and vital changes, education is one of the systems most affected. Although the history of distance education dates back to the past, with the Covid-19 epidemic, our society met with home education using digital tools called online or online education. While the problems of such a rapid transition were experienced at all levels of education, children who were just going to start primary school had to start school without leaving home. Due to their structured environments, schools support the emotional, spiritual, personal, social and physical development of students as well as their academic development. As the distance education process progresses, it has been revealed that although online education closes the knowledge gap of children, it is insufficient in terms of social, physical and behavioral education. In this compilation research, especially the adaptation problems experienced by students at the beginning of primary education, the positive and negative aspects of online education, and potential solution suggestions are presented by literature review.
