Teacher stability anxiety ‘47.5%’.. ZOOM’emergency’ ahead of paying in August
[베리타스알파=강태연 기자] The gradual operation of remote classes has been in operation for the second year. The remote class, which started last year as the impact of Corona 19 led to online school openings, marks its second year this year. The problem is that even though distance classes began in April of last year, errors in public learning management systems such as online classes are still occurring, and both consumers and teachers are experiencing discomfort. It is known that not only does not work properly in the course of the class, but also basic errors such as no sound or no attendance time. There is Zoom, a private program that is widely used for video classes, but it is a dead end situation where teachers’ platform choices are reduced as free services are provided only until July 31st.
In a situation where the public learning management system, including the consumer, is confused by the public learning management system, the Ministry of Education has shown that it is trying to evade responsibility by shifting the subject matter of responsibility to the development/operating institution, raising controversy. It is pointed out that nothing has changed from last year, when remote classes were first introduced. In the last year, a connection error occurred from the first day of implementation. From April 9th to 14th of last year,’EBS Online Class’ had three access errors on all pages for junior high school students and high school students. On April 14th, there was a log-in disability in the’e-learning center’, where learning materials tailored to the curriculum from elementary 1 to middle 3 were loaded. Both sites, which are operated as the core platform of online school opening, have errors. Experts say that the Ministry of Education is responsible for operating distance classes in a state where they cannot even operate properly for more than a year, while encouraging the education field.
The evaluation of teachers’ public learning management system was also found to be negative. As a result of a survey of 741 elementary, middle, and high school teachers by the Korean Federation of Teachers’ Associations on the 3rd and 4th, it revealed that 246 (33.2%) use the EBS online class, and that the platform is not operating stably among users. The number of personnel was 117 (47.5%), nearly half. Not at all 69 (28.0%), not at all 48 (19.5%). On the other hand, only 65 users (26.4%) rated the stability as good. The biggest problem with the EBS online class was’menu/function stability’.

As errors occurred from the first day of school, the Ministry of Education promised to improve it by the 7th, the weekend, but it was difficult to find an improvement. This is because the e-learning center user access delay error occurred in the morning. In response to continued errors, the Ministry of Education announced the’Public Learning Management System Operation Status’ through an online briefing on the 8th. It is known that problem solving for the program is progressing through functional improvement of the developers. In the educational world, it is an opinion that it is not a situation that the Ministry of Education and the like should be held responsible in that the preparation for distance classes that began last year was not properly conducted even in the current second year, but the Ministry of Education drew a line saying’No.’ EBS online class engineers explained that an error occurred due to lack of development time, but experts point out that there was a problem in both development and operation in that it was not introduced for the first time this year.
The error in the remote class program occurred from the first day of school. From the morning of the 2nd, the main functions of the EBS online class did not work. EBS said that the online class was working normally in the morning, but at the school site, I suffered from discomfort due to errors such as interruptions in interactive classes. There are various errors that have occurred in the current EBS online class. In addition to uneasy operation such as inability to access/delay connection, bouncing during connection, inability to upload videos, and inability to use auxiliary data during video class, there are also cases in which basic functions such as no sound or no attendance time can be confirmed. Became known.
Of course, classes can be conducted through other platforms, but ZOOM, a popular private program, will be converted to a fee from August. Zoom could only be used free of charge for up to 40 minutes when using 3 or more people, but in March last year, Zoom released the time limit for schools. However, starting in August, you have to pay a certain amount after 40 minutes with your school account. From the point of view of schools/teachers, the only option is to use a program that is scheduled to be converted to a fee, and to endure confusion when changing the platform again, or to use a program that has been filled with errors.
The Ministry of Education’s response to distance classes is also controversial. The remote class started in April with the online start of the corona 19 spread last year. Along with the introduction, there were many problems including access errors, errors related to attendance, etc., but an evaluation was forced to come out considering that it was an unavoidable remote class that started from the Corona 19 incident. But this year, the situation is different. It is difficult to understand the excuse for lack of preparation, as it has already undergone trial and error for a year last year, and there is an expectation that the Corona 19 situation will continue until at least this year. Experts point out whether the situation shows that the Ministry of Education, which ordered to increase the distance classes, was insufficient to check from development to normal operation.

As a result of a survey of 741 elementary/middle/high school teachers by the KCTU, 117 (47.5%), nearly half of the 246 EBS online class users, answered that the platform is not stable. On the other hand, only 65 people (26.4%) rated it as stable. The Ministry of Education announced that it will be able to provide real-time interactive classes for EBS online classes and e-learners from March.
When asked,’What is the problem with the platform for remote classes used by users (two choices)’, EBS online class users cited’menu/function stability’. Menu/function stability 64.2% (158 people), ease of use 49.6% (122 people), poor connection 45.1% (111 people), video class quality and errors 30.9% (76 people), and others 10.2% (25 people). . Regarding the problems related to the remote class and the requirements for improvement, he cited’quick stabilization’,’improvement of usability’ and’reinforcement of training’. Basically, it is an opinion that retraining is necessary because the setting has changed from last year as both the stability and convenience of the platform have fallen.
The KCTU also pointed out the situation in which responsibility for platform errors and complaints are being returned to the educational field. A school official said, “On-site teachers are expressing their opinion not to over-require only interactive classes in a situation where the remote class system is not stabilized. Responsibilities and complaints for platform errors are pouring out to schools and teachers.” “Educational authorities stopped irresponsible administration in which teachers only run ad balloons, and teachers and teachers can easily access remote classes, and equipment is complete. “There are many orders that require teacher training,” he said.
Chairman Ha Yoon-soo said, “I can’t help but ask what the education authorities have done for a year after starting online school and distance classes. “I have to go on to come on.”
