The theme of World Science Day on 10 November 2022 is Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development. It is being celebrated within the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development, which kicked off on 8 July 2022. Scientists, science communicators, and science enthusiasts are encouraged to prepare their events to celebrate #WorldScienceDay.
“The annual observance of theInternational Week ofScience and Peace, 9-15 November (A/RES/43/61), is making an important contribution to the promotion of peace. The Week encourages greater academic exchanges on a subject of universal importance while also generating greater awareness of the relationship of science and peace among the general public. Based on observances of Science and Peace Week to date, it may be expected that participation each year will increase, contributing to greater international understanding and opportunities for co-operation in the applications of science for the promotion of peace throughout the year.” #ScienceForDevelopmentAndPeace

Introduction

A lot of schoolchildren started learning online because of the outbreak of the pandemic Covid-19. While learning online, school children can face many problems. 

This research is done to find the problems and find a solution for them. 

The research question was “What are the problems school children face while online learning?”

First, this will start to introduce you to the research questions and the objectives. 

Explanation of Research Questions and Objectives

Students who learn online have faced a lot of problems. But, it is the right of children to learn because of this pandemic. 

The objectives were to find out what the problems are. Then, to find solutions for the problems. And finally to make online learning better.

Materials and Methods

The school children between the grades of 6-11 in the Colombo and Gampaha districts of Sri Lanka were chosen. The sample was 41. For this analysis, this research will be using the quantitative method. 

Results

This study revealed that the most occurring problems are signal failures. According to the way that they wrote the answers, this research found that many schoolchildren are scared to talk about this topic. 95.1% of the sample said that Physical school education is much better than online education. 

Discussion

If teachers change and improve their methods of learning, online learning will be better. Online learning must be fun because it will be more boring if it wasn’t fun. Schoolchildren must be happy learners. Learning happily equals better memory.               

Conclusion

As a student who is learning online, it was so hard. The sample has the thought that it must change. 

The research found that the best way to remove all the signal failures, boringness, and technical issues is to make online learning fun because the students will not care about that much. After all, they are sticking their minds to the fun lesson.
