The Threat of Online Education to Students’ Learning Initiative

Yangfan Gao

Abstract


Online education is becoming more and more common in the context of Covid-19. However, some people are arguing that online education might cause a threat to students’ learning initiatives. This paper aims to answer this question from the perspectives of teachers, parents and the learning atmosphere. The purpose is to give an analysis of whether online education has threats to students and look at whether these threats can be solved or not. The paper will conclude that we can do something to avoid the threats and make good use of the advantages of online education to serve students better. As such, more research may be necessary into this question in order to reach a comprehensive conclusion.
