A CASE STUDY ON THE IMPACTS OF ONLINE MODE OF LEARNING ON EDUCATION 1 0

Abstract

The impact of the pandemic upon the human world has been multi-dimensional. In retrospect, the disruption of human life caused by the pandemic can be aptly described as unprecedented. Human organizations were forced to undergo changes of a phenomenal nature within a very short span of time in order to brave the reeling impacts of the covid spread. The article looks at one such core areas of human life namely education. The field of education has always been dynamic, known for its adaptability to changing circumstances and contexts. The progressive developments within the said field are a witness to human spirit of persistence and strive for excellence. However, it cannot be denied that the foundations of education systems all of the world have been rather severely undermined since the advent of the pandemic. Educational institutions were forced to shut down which caused unimaginable damage to the academic world of teachers and students alike. Globally, the educational systems were forced to introduce several changes, whenever they could, in order to maintain the fleeting appearance of the pre-covid times, with far limited success. The article delves into these very aspects of disruption and change within the educational system in India. Through primary research among the students of Mata Sundri College for Women, the article aims to unearth the impacts of the online mode of teaching-learning processes- a somewhat novel attempt within the field- upon the over-all quality of education.
