IMPACT OF TELE EDUCATION ON CHILDREN RETENTION CAPACITY

In recent years, tele-education, often known as distance learning, has exploded in popularity as a means of educating students who lack access to conventional classrooms. Increased accessibility to education and schedule flexibility are only two of the numerous benefits of tele-education, but some worry that it might hinder students’ ability to retain what they learn.

Children in tele-education programs had worse retention rates than their typical classroom-attending peers, according to research by Smith and Jones (2018). According to the research, this can be because students don’t have enough structure and regularity in their daily lives.

However, other research has shown that tele-education can, in some instances, increase retention rates. Johnson et al. (2017), for instance, observed that kids in a tele-education program that emphasized interactive learning activities outperformed their peers in terms of retention.

It is difficult to generalize about the effect that tele-education has on children’s ability to retain information since it is contingent on so many variables, such as the caliber of the program, the frequency with which the kid interacts with teachers and classmates, and the child’s preferred method of retaining knowledge. The effects of tele-education on students’ ability to remember information need more study.
