Online Class, ang bagong normal na pag-aaral ng mga kabataan

by Pia Gonzalez-Abucay 26 August 2020, 10:00 1.4M Views

Ang ONLINE CLASS ay isang plataporma ng pag-aaral kung saan ay idinadaos sa pamamagitan ng paggamit sa internet, at ang estudyante ay di na kinakailangang lumabas pa ng bahay upang magtungo nang personal sa klase at makaharap ang guro at mga kamag-aral.

Nang magkaroon ng lockdown sa mga bansang apektado ng COVID19 Crisis, nakapagpatuloy pa rin ang mga estudyante mula elementarya hanggang kolehiyo  sa kanilang pag-aaral gamit ang computer.

Sa Italya, sa kabila ng lockdown noon, ay nakapagdaos ng klase ang mga guro sa itinakda nilang araw at oras, at nakatulong ang mga magulang dahil sila man ay nasa bahay lang noon at di nakapagtrabaho o kaya naman  ay work-at-home din kaya may panahong sapat para gabayan ang kanilang mga anak.

Bagama’t iba pa rin ang atmospera ng isang silid-aralan kung saan ay may personal na interaksiyon sa pagitan ng guro at mga estudyante , kailangan na lamang gawing mas masigla, epektibo at imperatibo ang paraan ng pagbabahagi ng aralin upang ang mga bata ay magkaroon ng pokus at ibuhos ang kooperasyon.  Kaya masasabing trending ang online class ngayon at isa ring matinding hamon para sa lahat upang maging matagumpay ito kahit sa panahon ng stay-at-home.

May kakambal din itong hirap para sa iba dahil hindi naman lahat ay may kayang  magkaroon ng internet sa kani-kanilang tahanan kaya ang ginagamit ay ang mga telepono ng mga magulang na may subskripsiyon ng internet o kaya ay pakikipagkomunikasyon gamit ang WhatsApp o Messenger.

 Isipin din natin ang kalagayan ng mga mag-aaral kung saan ang kanilang mga magulang ay full-time health worker gaya ng doktor, narses, sanitary workers at iba pang patuloy ang hanapbuhay dahil kailangan kahit panahon ng lockdown. Maaaring mahirapan sila dahil sa walang sapat na panahon ang  mga magulang upang matulungan at matutukan sila sa kanilang online class.

Sa panayam sa ilang magulang na nakasubaybay noon sa pag-aaral ng kanilang mga anak, gaya nila  EDS IGNACIO at GRACE RAMOS , narito ang buod ng kanilang sagot sa mga naging katanungan ng AKO AY PILIPINO:

Ayon kay Eds Ignacio , nagkaroon ng disiplina ang mga bata dahil nagkaroon ng regola sa kanilang bahay na dapat maglaan ng oras sa paggawa ng aralin, paglalaro o ang paggamit ng gadget. At sa kaniya bilang isang ina, naging hamon din ang isaayos ang kanyang oras para magampanan ang mga gawaing-bahay at pagsubaybay sa pag-aaral ng anak.  Sa kanilang kuwarto ay sadyang naglaan ng study area upang higit ang konsentrasyon kaya napakinabangan nang husto ang study table.  Sa kanya namang palagay, di gaanong epektibo ang online class lalo sa maliliit na bata dahil sa hirap na mapanatili sila sa kanilang upuan , kadalasan ay naiinip ang mga ito.

 Sa mga batang katulad nila Kevin, Epi at Lia, sabik sila sa paggawa ng crafts gaya ng pagkukulay. pagguhit at paggupit sa mga papel ng iba’t ibang hugis ayon sa kanilang disenyo. At natugunan din ng mga nanay ang pagtuturo na makapagsulat at makapagbasa ang mga bata.

Ayon naman kay Grace Ramos, ang dalawa nilang anak na si Charles and JD na nasa Superiore at Liceo noong panahon ng lockdown,  ay sanay na sa paglalaan ng sapat na oras sa kanilang pag-aaral. Gumigising sila nang maaga upang ihanda ang sarili sa pagre-review para sa verifica at interrogazione.  Di rin naman sila stressed na mag-asawa dahil parehong may inisyatiba ang kanilang mga anak. Kaya naman di nila iniistorbo ang mga ito kapag nasa study area ng kanilang kuwarto. Para kay Grace na dating guro sa Pilipinas, di gaanong epektibo ang online class lalo at may mga pagkakataon na humihina ang internet connection. At iba pa rin ang personal na interaksiyon sa pagitan ng guro at mga mag-aaral at ang pagkakaroon ng aktibidad na magkakasama ang magkakaklase.

Ayon naman kay Alyzza Guevarra, estudyante ng Linguistico ng Liceo , sa Roma, naglaan siya ng apat na oras sa pag-aaral sa online  mula Lunes hanggang Biyernes  at dalawang oras naman sa araw ng Sabado. Bagama’t nakatulong ang online class, nahirapan din naman siya sa dami ng ibinigay na homework ng kanilang guro. Kailangan lang talaga ng pokus upang hindi siya mainip at maitutok ang konsentrasyon sa mga aralin.

Bagama’t ang paaralan ay isang plataporma kung saan ang mga bata ay napapaunlad ang mga kasanayan hindi lamang sa akademiko kundi pati sa pakikisalamuha at pagsasagawa ng mga extra-curricular activities, ang pag-aaral sa pamamagitan ng online class ay dapat mapalalim pa sa pamamagitan ng mga research at pagbabasa ng iba pang reference books or e-books. Dapat ding isaalang-alang ang isang tahimik na puwesto sa tahanan upang magkaroon ng motibasyon at konsentrasyon habang may online class. Kailangan din laging paalalahanan ang mga kabataan na magkaroon ng  maayos na daily habits, pagkain ng masustansiyang pagkain, tamang oras ng paglilibang o paglalaro at pakikipag-bonding sa magulang at kapatid.

Sa nalalapit na pasukan, maging sa Pilipinas o ibang bahagi ng mundo, isang hamon ito sa gobyerno, sa departamento ng edukasyon, sa mga guro at mga magulang , kung paano ba matutugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng mga mag-aaral. Dahil sa gitna ng krisis na dulot ng pandemya, mahalaga ang pagkakaroon ng suporta sa mga materyal na gamit, sa koneksiyon sa internet, sa pagdisiplina sa mga estudyante para sa bagong daily routine nila at mas tutok na pagsubaybay sa kanilang pag-aaral sa pamamagitan ng ONLINE class.

Talata Tungkol Sa Online Class – Halimbawa Ng Talata Sa Online Class

Heto ang halimbawa ng talata tungkol sa online class.

ONLINE CLASS – Sa paksang ito, ating tatalakayin ang mga halimbawa ng talata tungkol sa online class.

Dahil sa pandemyang COVID-19, milyun-milyong mga estudyante at guro ang napilitang mag “remote-learning”. Sa Pilipinas, ito’y naka grupo sa online class at mga module. Pero, dahil sa biglaang pagsalin ng plataporma ng eduaksyon, marami ang nahihirapan. Heto ang ilang mga talata tungkol sa online class.

Online Class

Maraming benepisyo ang online class, lalo na sa panahon ng pandemya. Ang mga mag-aaral ay nakakapag-aral na nasa seguridad ng kanilang mga bahay. Bukod dito, mas nagiging komportable ang mga estudyante dahil sila ay nasa bahay lamang. Higit sa lahat, lahat ng kanilang pangangailangan at katanugan ay madali lang ma hanap sa tulong ng internet.

Subalit, kahit marami ang benipisyo nito, may mga negatibong epekto rin ang online class. Ang ilang estudyante ay hindi nakakapokus o sa ibang bagay nakatuon ang atensyon. Hindi rin lahat ng estudyante ang may kakayahang makapag-aral sa online class dahil sa iba’t-ibang dahilan.

Pandemya at Edukasyon

Sa kasalukuyang panahon, marami na ang nagbago dahil sa pandemyang, COVID-19. Pati ang pagpasok sa paaralan ay nagbago na rin gumagamit tayo nang mga gadgets at ang klase ay nasa online class na rin.

Ito ay kung saan ang mga estudyante at guro ay mag tuturo sa pamamagitan nang video call at online modules. Pero, marami na rin ang nahihirapan dahil sa online class. Ang mga guro at estudyante ay parehong may kahirapan sa bagong pamaraan ng pag-aaral.

Pero, dahil nasa pandemya tayo, ito ang pinaka-ligtas na paraan para maitaguyod ang edukasyon ng mga kabataan.

Salamat sa inyong maiiging pagbabasa. Aming sinisiguro ang pagserbisyo ng bago at pinaka-tinatangkilik na balita. Hanggang sa susunod na mga bagong balita mula dito lamang sa Philnews.

• Online Classes: Epektibo nga ba para Matuloy ang Pasukan?

Sabi nga nila, ang edukasyon ay ang tanging yaman na hindi mananakaw ninuman kaya’t kailangang pahalagahan. Paulit-ulit man nating naririnig ang salawikaing ito, hindi pa rin maikaka-ila ang katotohanang taglay nito. Ngunit sa panahon ng pandemyang ito, paano kung hindi na lamang edukasyon ang nagbabadyang mawala sa’tin kundi maging ang sarili nating kaligtasan laban sa virus, anong mas pipiliin mo?

Nitong linggo nga ay naging mainit ang usapin patungkol sa gagawing pagbubukas ng klase sa Agosto. Umani ng samu’t saring reaksyon at opinyon ang mga pahayag ni Pangulong Duterte noong lunes matapos niyang sabihing hindi siya pabor rito at kailangang unahin muna raw ang bakuna bago ibalik ang klase.

Dahil sa pandemya, isa na nga ang sektor ng edukasyon sa tuluyang naapektuhan. “Online Classes,”  ang nakikitang paraan ng gobyerno bilang alternatibo upang matuloy pa rin ang pag-aaral ng mga estudyante na hindi na kinakailangang pumasok sa mga paaralan.

Bilang bahagi ng tinawatawag na ‘new normal ’ sa sistema ng edukasyon sa bansa, ang online education ang nakikitang daan para maipagpatuloy ang taong panunuran sa darating na pasukan. Humahaba ang usapin patungkol dito at nahahati ang mga pananaw kung ano nga ba ang dapat gawin.

Handa na nga ba ang Pipilinas sa sistema ng ‘online education’ ? Epektibo nga ba ang paraang ito para masolusyunan ang mga suliraning kinakaharap nito?

Narito ang ilan sa mga dahilan kung bakit mainam na gawin ang online classes sa bansa:

PAGYAKAP SA MAKABAGONG TEKNOLOHIYA

Sinasabing ang online education ang magiging daan upang matuto ang mga kabataan sa paggamit ng makabagong teknolohiya. Magkakaroon sila ng oras upang tuklasin ang ilan sa mga bagong paraan ng pag-aaral. Sa hakbang ding ito, mas makakasabay na ang karamihan sa pagtanggap ng makabagong paraan ng tungo sa paglinang at pagkatuto ng mga kabataan sa bansa.

MABILIS NA PROSESO AT SISTEMA

Sa paraang ito hindi na kinakailangang ng mga kung anu-ano pang mga kagamitan, basta’t may koneksyon ka lamang sa internet ay maaari ka nang makibahagi sa talakayan sa mas mabilis na paraan

MATIPID SA ORAS AT PERA

Hindi na kinakailangan ng mga mag-aaral na pumunta sa kani-kanilang paaralan. Sa online education mas makakatipid ng oras ang mga kabataan dahil hindi na nila kinakailangan gumastos ng pamasahe papasok at siguradong makakabawas sa gastos. Sa pananaw na ito, marami ang mas makakatipid habang patuloy na natututo.

Ang mga sumusunod naman ay ang ilan sa mga dahilan kung bakit hindi magiging matagumpay ang online education sa Pilipinas:

PROBLEMA SA MAAYOS NA KONEKSYON NG INTERNET

Alam naman natin na ang bansang Pilipinas ay isa sa mga bansa na may pinakamabagal na koneksyon ng internet. Ito ang siguradong pinakamalaking problemang dadalhin ng mga mag-aaral kung matutuloy ang sistemang ito. Hindi lahat ng mga mag-aaral ay may pribilehiyong magkaroon ng maayos na koneksyon ng internet at isa pang problema nito ay ang mga lugar na wala ring maayos na signal .

Sa katunayan, narito ang ilan sa mga balitang lumabas patungkol sa kawalan ng maayos na koneksyon ng internet matapos simulang ipatupad ng ilang mga paaralan ang online education :

Makikita sa bidyong ito ang isang estudyanteng sa Masbate na literal na umakyat ng bundok para lamang makasagap ng maayos na signal para sa isusumiteng school requirement.

Sa kasamaang-palad naman, nasawi ang estudyangteng ito sa Capiz sa paghahanap ng maayos na  signal para maipasa ang mga requirements  matapos maaksidente ang sinasakyang motorsiklo.

MAHIGPIT NA DISIPLINA SA SARILI

Magiging mahirap ang sistemang ito sa parte ng mga mag-aaral. Maraming magiging balakid at istorbo sa kanilang mga focus at maaring magdulot ng karagdagang stress at iba pang mga bagay.

LIMITADONG INTERAKSYON SA MGA KAMAG-ARAL

Ayon sa ilang mga pag-aaral, ang sistemang ito ay maaring makapagdulot sa mga bata ng ‘ feeling of isolation’ o tila nakapuwesto sa isang lugar na kung saan hindi maaaring umalis o lumabas. Walang magaganap na maayos na pakikipag-usap o interaksyon sa mga kamag-aral gaya ng isang normal na buhay estudyante.

Ayon sa DepEd, bahagi ng Basic Education – Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) o ang kanilang magiging hakbang para sa pagharap sa COVID-19 ay ang pagpili ng mga eskwelahan sa mga makabago at iba't-ibang paraan at sistema ng pag-aaral kabilang ang mga sumusunod: face-to-face, blended learning, distance learning, homeschooling, and other modes of delivery.

Ang   Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) at Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) of the Philippines ay pabor din na hindi muna ituloy ang pagbubukas ng klase bagkus ay gamitin na muna sana ng pamahalaan ang panahon para mas paigtingin ang pakikipaglaban sa COVID-19.

Narito naman ang opinyon ng ilan sa mga guro ng Taguig City University tungkol sa usapin ng pagbubukas ng klase sa Agosto at ang sistema ng online education:

  “I am not in favor of class suspension in August 2020 even without the vaccine. The experience from ECQ down to GCQ was already enough to serve as a guide on how to manage individuals to free from viruses. Online classes are definitely an effective medium to replace the traditional classroom activity because this medium is already being used by some of the universities and colleges in the Philippines ,” Sabi ni Prof. Rumar R. Abaigar, Dean of College of Hospitality and Tourism Management ng Taguig City University patungkol sa pagsulong online classes .

Ayon naman kay Ms. Andrea Nacor, isang part-time faculty sa Taguig City University, mas magiging epektibo raw ang online classes kung may sapat na materials ang mga guro at estudyante .

Pabor din daw ang propesor na si Ms. Xeres Yvonne Quimora na ipatigil muna ang pagbubukas ng klase sa Agosto at naniniwala siyang epektibo ang online classes pero kailangan muna raw na ikonsidera ang kakayanan pagdating sa internet at social media .

“Malayo pa naman ang Agosto. Antayin muna natin ang magiging resulta ng COVID-19 cases ngayon Hunyo at Hulyo. Kapag patuloy na dumarami ang kaso nito sa nasabing mga buwan nararapat lamang na ipagpaliban ang pasukan. Sa aking pagkakaintindi mas mahalaga ang kalusugan ng mga estudyante kasya sa pag-aaral kasi makapag-aantay naman ang pag-aaral,” ang pananaw ni Prof. Carmelo Beltran ng Taguig City University patungkol sa pagpapaliban ng klase.

Hindi naman pabor si Prof. Monalisa B. De Leon na ipatigil ang pagbubukas ng klase dahil mas gusto niya na hindi muna dapat na magkaroon ng face-to-face na pagtuturo o pag-aaral; aniya dapat daw mas maging creative ang bawat guro sa paggamit ng iba't-ibang modalities tulad ng modular , online learning , telebisyon at radyo, o combination ng mga sumusunod kung kinakailangan.

Ang usaping ito ay tiyak na magkakaroon ng mahabang diskusyon sa bayan. Ano’t ano pa man ang maging resulta ay iisa lang naman ang ating layunin—ang mapuksa ang COVID-19 upang makabalik na sa pag-aaral ang lahat.

Ikaw ba? Oo, ikaw nga na nagbabasa nito, ano sa palagay mo ang nararapat na gawing aksyon ng Pilipinas ngayon sa sistema ng edukasyon?

Posisyong Papel Tungkol sa Online Class

Maraming mga mag-aaral sa isang mahirap na bansa tulad ng Pilipinas ang wala namang kompiyuter, cellphone, at koneksiyon sa Internet.

Kaya naman ang ganitong uri ng edukasyon ay isang malaking pasakit sa mga maralita at parang sinasabing wala silang karapatan sa edukasyon.

Kung iisipin, ang umiiral na sistema sa normal na edukasyon ay kung minsan ay pasakit na kahit pa sabihing nasa pampublikong paaralan, ang magkaroon ng mga gadgets at kagamitang may kamahalan ay lalong magbibigay ng pasanin hindi lamang sa mga mag-aaral kung hindi maging sa kanilang mga magulang.

Kung ang iba ay iniraraos na lamang ang edukasyon sa normal na situwasyon, ngayong may pandemya at umiiral ang online class, paniguradong maraming Pilipinong mag-aaral na naman ang mapag-iiwanan ng ganitong klaseng eduksyon.

Ngunit hangga’t ang ganitong klaseng edukasyon ay para lamang sa may pera, hindi kailanman magiging epektibo ang online class.

Laging tandaan na lahat ng tao ay mayroong karapatan sa kanilang opinyon. Sana po ay nagustuhan ninyo ang gawa namin na Posisyong Papel Tungkol sa Online Class . Handog po sa inyo ito ng Panitikan.com.ph ang website na ang pakay ay makapagbigay sainyo ng kaalaman.

Kwentong Distance Learning: Mga Tinig ng Estudyante, Magulang, at Guro

Isinulat nina: Raizza Acuzar, Eunice Algar, at Mark Mercene

Noong nagsimulang kumalat ang pandemya noong isang taon, ang pagpasok sa paaralan ng mga estudyante ang unang kinansela ng ating pamahalaan upang mapangalagaan ang kanilang kalusugan. Ngunit ang hindi inaasahan ng karamihan ay matatapos ang taunang 2019-2020 ng maaga, at walang mga pagsusulit na. Ngayon, humigit isang taon ang nakalipas na, at nagbukas na nga din ang mga paaralan para sa mga mag-aaral sa panibagong pamamaraan para sa kanilang kapakanan. Alamin natin ang samu’t saring kwento mula sa iba’t ibang pananaw ng mga mamamayan na kalahok sa sektor ng edukasyon.

Isa sa mga sektor na lubos na naapektuhan ng pandemya ay ang edukasyon. Dahil sa banta na dulot ng Coronavirus, napilitan ang mga paaralan sa buong bansa na magsara at lumipat mula sa on-campus face to face learning patungo sa distance learning. Ngunit, hindi ito naging madali para sa lahat, lalo na sa mga estudyante, magulang, at guro. 

EDUKASYON SA GITNA NG PANDEMYA. Ang distance learning tulad sa pamamagitan ng modyular o online class ang humalili sa nakasanayang face-to-face learning upang mapagpatuloy ang pag-aaral ngayong new normal.

Naglabas ng opisyal na pahayag ang Department of Education (DepEd) tungkol sa Learning Continuity Plan o ang “bagong normal” na ipinakita sa mga guro at estudyante noong ika-5 ng Mayo 2020. Samantalang para sa mga kolehiyo, naglabas din ang Commission on Higher Education (CHED) ng Memo No. 04, series 2020, “Guidelines on the Implementation of Flexible Learning.” Sa mga polisiyang ito, binigyang pansin ang mga alternatibong paraan upang ipagpatuloy ang edukasyon sa new normal. 

Kasabay ng pagpapatupad ng mga ito ay ang pag-usbong ng iba’t ibang hamon para sa mga estudyante, magulang, at guro. Kinakailangan nilang mag-adapt sa mga bagong paraan upang makasabay sa new normal, at ito ang mga kwento nilang kailangan marinig. 

M ula sa mga Estudyante

Sa usapang distance learning, ang mga estudyante ang higit na nakakaalam kung ano ba ang realidad sa loob ng sistema na ito. Sila ang pinakasentro ng implementasyon na humaharap sa pagbabagong dala nito sa sektor ng edukasyon. Nararapat din na malaman na ang bawat estudyante mula sa iba’t ibang katayuan at kalagayan sa buhay ay may mga sarili at naiibang kwento na nararapat mapakinggan.

Isa sa mga estudyante na ito ay ang 19 taong gulang na si Burek, mula sa Brgy.Mayondon na kasalukuyang nasa Senior High School at kumukuha ng General Academic Strand sa Colegio de Los Baños. Isa sa mga pagsubok na kinakaharap niya sa distance learning ay sa tuwing may pagkakataon na hindi niya maintindihan kung paano gagawin ang ibang mga assessment sa kanyang mga modules kaya’t hindi niya na lang ito sinasagutan. Ngunit ayon sa kanya, kahit nahihirapan siya ay kakayanin niya para sa kanyang mga pangarap.

Sa pagtaas ng mga kaso ng COVID 19 sa bansa ay naniniwala si Burek na okay lang na ipagpatuloy ang distance learning. Ngunit hiling niya na nawa’y mabawasan ang mga pinapagawa sa kanila, at sa pagdating ng panahon na umayos na ang sitwasyon, ay makabalik na sila sa face to face setup dahil sa tingin niya ay magiging mas madali ito para sa mga estudyante.

Ganito rin ang nais ni Coleen Paner, 21 taong gulang, mula rin sa Brgy. Mayondon, at kasalukuyang kumukuha ng kursong BS Agribusiness Management and Entrepreneurship sa University of the Philippines Los Baños at isa rin sa mga estudyante na nasa distance learning.

Ilan sa mga hamon na kinakaharap ni Coleen ngayon sa pag-aaral ay ang mahinang internet connection na kadalasan niyang hinaharap kapag kinakailangan niyang pumasok sa mga synchronous online classes na nakakadagdag sa kanyang anxiety. Nagiging pagsubok din sa kanya ang time management at pagkakaroon ng short attention span na dahilan kung bakit nahihirapan siya magpokus sa mga gawain.

Hindi rin maitanggi ni Coleen na mahirap talaga ang kakulangan ng personal space sa bahay. Hindi niya alam kung saan siya maaaring lumugar para makapag-aral habang pumapasok sa mga klase. Idagdag pa rito ang hindi maiiwasang ingay sa paligid na nakakagambala rin sa kanyang pag-aaral.

“At some points, siguro oo. Seryoso rin naman kasi ako sa pag-aaral kaya sineseryoso ko kapag may kailangan talaga intindihin or i-absorb pero may times talaga na kahit anong pakinig ko sa synch class di ko talaga siya magets,” ayon kay Coleen nang tinanong siya patungkol sa pagiging epektibo ng distance learning.

Isinaad din ni Coleen na nagbibigay naman ng tulong ang kanyang paaralan upang masolusyonan ang mga problema niya katulad ng mga seminar tungkol sa time management. Gayunpaman ay hindi naman siya makadalo at kung dumalo man siya, hindi siya nakakatiyak kung ito ba ay may epekto sa kanya. Kung kaya’t para sa kanya ay hindi na niya kakayanin pa ang posibilidad na distance learning muli ang ipapatupad sa susunod na academic year.

Higit na sinasamo ni Coleen na mas mabigyan ng pansin ang mga estudyante na naghihikahos ngayon sa buhay. Sa tingin niya ay mas mahirap ang dinadanas ng mga ito dahil na rin sa kahirapan na humahadlang upang makasabay sila sa klase pati na rin sa mga kailangan dito katulad ng mga gadget at iba pa.

Hiling din niya na nawa’y mas pabilisin at isaayos ng gobyerno ang vaccination program nito sa bansa nang sa ganon ay maisulong na ang ligtas na balik eskwela. Para naman sa mga guro ay umaasa siya na nawa’y maintindihan nila ang sitwasyon ng mga estudyante, at mas pagaanin ang mga requirements. Alam niya rin na nahihirapan din ang mga guro sa sitwasyon ngayon kung kaya’t sa tingin niya ay kinakailangan talaga ng pag-unawa at kooperasyon ng bawat isa upang makaahon ang lahat.

Mula sa mga Magulang

Sa panahon kung saan ang tahanan ang nagsisilbing paaralan, hindi maikakaila na ang mga magulang din ay naaapektuhan ng bagong sistema ng edukasyon at iba’t ibang pagsubok at karanasan ang kanila ring hinaharap. 

Isa na rito si Gng. Ana, 42, mula sa Brgy. Batong Malake, na may dalawang anak na kasalukuyang sumasailalim pareho sa online classes. Ang panganay na anak niya ay nasa kolehiyo at nag-aaral ng kursong BS Agribusiness Management and Entrepreneurship at ang isa naman ay nasa ika-limang baitang sa elementarya. 

Malaking tulong ang panganay na anak ni Gng. Ana ngayong distance learning dahil siya ang nag-aasikaso sa nakababatang kapatid nito, lalo na sa mga lesson na hindi na kaya pang maituro ng ginang. Aniya, ang mga activity ngayong distance learning ay nangangailangan minsan ng partisipasyon ng mga tao sa bahay. 

“Noon ay kakaunti lang ang activities na kailangan ng partisipasyon ng magulang o guardian kumpara nitong nagstart ang online class,” dagdag niya. 

Para kay Gng. Ana, ang distance learning ay hindi niya maikokonsiderang epektibo sapagkat “iba pa rin na may kasamang guro at kaklase lalo na kapag bata pa lamang,” saad niya. 

Sa usapin naman ukol sa posibilidad na distance learning muli ang ipatutupad sa susunod na taon, batid ng ginang na kailangan muna sundin ang kautusang ito sapagkat tayo ay nasa gitna pa rin ng pandemya. Subalit, hiling din ni Gng. Ana na makabalik na sa face-to-face setup sa lalong madaling panahon. 

Ganito rin ang agam-agam ng 47 na taong gulang na si Gng. Merly, hindi niya tunay na pangalan, mula sa Bae, tungkol sa posibilidad ng distance learning sa susunod na taon. Para sa kanya, wala namang ibang paraan kundi tanggapin ang kasalukuyang sistema kaysa naman magkasakit dahil sa pandemyang ito. 

Si Gng. Merly ay isang ina ng tatlong estudyante na lahat din ay nagpapatuloy ng kanilang pag-aaral gamit ang mga online class ngayong distance learning. Isa rito ay nasa kolehiyo na kumukuha ng kursong BS Biology at ang dalawa naman ay nasa ika-walo at ikasampung baitang sa sekondarya. 

Para naman sa kanya, bilang araw-araw nasa bahay ang mga anak niya, kailangan maglaan ng ekstrang budget para sa kanilang pagkain. Dagdag din niya ang na madalas ang pagpapa-alala niya na laging maglinis ang kanyang mga anak sa kani-kanilang mga lugar.

Kumpara kay Gng. Ana, epektibo naman para kay Gng. Merly ang distance learning sa kadahilanang wala na rin namang iba pang paraan upang matuloy ang edukasyon ngayon. Ngunit, mas gusto rin niya ang face to face learning dahil marami raw mae-experience pag physical learning dahil sa school ang setup mismo. 

Sa tanong kung ano ang nais niyang mabago sa kasalukuyang setup, “more interaction sa ibang tao o kaklase kahit online setup; ways para ma separate ng kids ang acads sa e-games nila [dahil] minsan kasi mas madaming times sa games kesa acads,” aniya ng ginang. 

Ang mga katagang ang paaralan ang nagsisilbing pangalawang tahanan ay tila matagal pa ulit mabibigyang kahulugan. Sa panahon ng pandemya, ang papel ng mga magulang ay mas lumawak at higit din na hinahamon ng panahon. Ano pa man ang sitwasyon, tunay ngang nagsisilbi sila sa kanilang mga anak bilang taga-bigay ng suporta, alaga, at lalong lalo na ang pagiging guro. 

Mula sa mga Guro

Bukod sa mga estudyante at magulang ay lubos na naapektuhan ang mga tumatayong pangalawang magulang sa mga eskwelahan, ang mga guro. Isa rito si Ma’am Marie, 23, isang guro na nagtuturo sa online-learning set-up mula sa probinsya. 

Aminado si Ma’am Marie na “mahirap at nakakapagod” ang kanyang karanasan at hanggang ngayon  ay nag-aadjust pa rin siya sa bagong paraan ng pagtuturo. Ayon kay Ma’am Marie, maraming estudyante sa kanyang klase ang hindi talaga kayang makapasok nang tuloy-tuloy. 

“Doble ang ginagawa kong teaching materials ngayon, para ma-cater lahat ng students hangga’t maaari depende sa kung anong accessible resources sa kanila”, saad niya.

Para sa kanya ay may kahirapan din ang pag-tsek sa kalagayan ng mga estudyante, kaya gumagamit siya ng iba’t ibang paraan tulad ng text message, call, facebook and messenger. Naibahagi rin niya na kilala niya na lamang ang mga estudyante sa pangalan at profile picture ng mga ito sa facebook. 

Ayon pa kay Ma’am Marie, mas mababa ang bilang ng pumapasok ngayon kumpara noong face-to-face. “Noong f2f, kapag nasa school sila, students lang sila. Ngayon, nasa bahay sila nag-aaral, students na sila at kapatid/anak/parents pa sila. Syempre madalas inuuna nila yung responsibilities nila sa bahay compared sa responsibilities nila as students,” pagpapatunay niya.

Tulad ni Ma’am Marie, ganito rin ang nararanasan at pakiramdam ni Sir Vren, 23, isang guro mula sa Barangay Batong Malake. Para kay Sir Vren, mahirap ang naging paraan ng pagtuturo ngayon sapagkat ito ay online at hindi naman lahat ng estudyante ay may koneksyon at kagamitan. Isinaad din niya na mayroong mga pagkakataon na nauubusan siya ng bagong ideya kung paano maituturo ang isang paksa lalo na at nasanay siya sa tradisyunal na pagtuturo. 

Aniya ay, “iba pa rin talaga yung pakiramdam na face-to-face kasi mas namomonitor mo ang iyong mga estudyante, mas madali kang makaka-connect sa kanila, at mas madali ka ring makakakuha ng ideya mula sa kanila.” Dagdag pa niya, ibinibigay niya ang kanyang “best effort” sa pagtuturo kaya naman nakakapanghinayang kapag marami ang hindi nakapagpasa ng mga outputs. 

Matatandaan na noong ika-22 ng Mayo ay nagalabas ng pahayag si CHED chairman Prospero de Vera kung saan binanggit niya na  “From now on, flexible learning will be the norm. There is no going back to the traditional, full-packed face-to-face classrooms.”

Para kay Ma’am Marie, ang naging pahayag ay nakakalungkot at nakakagalit. Ayon sa kanya ay “disconnected sila sa mga nasa ibaba”. Dagdag pa rito, hindi lahat ay handa para dito, estudyante man o mga guro.  Si Sir Vren naman ay ibinahagi ang paniniwala na ang online learning ay hindi sapat upang matutunan ng estudyante ang mga life skill na kailangan.

Nang tanungin naman kung anong masasabi nila sa kasalukuyang online/distance learning set-up,  “Sa mga students, tandaan nila kung para kanino o saan sila nag-aaral” at “sa mga kapwa ko guro, alam kong nahihirapan tayo. Pero kung mahirap para sa’tin ‘to, doble ang hirap nito for students, kaunting konsiderasyon at pang-unawa sana para sa kanila.”, sambit ni Ma’am Marie.

“Huwag tayong manawa na mag-abot ng tulong sa isa’t isa kahit na gaano kaliit o kalaki pa yaan. Napakaganda ng ating pangarap para sa mga sarili natin at para rin sa ating bayan kaya patuloy pa tayong magsikap upang makamit ito,” pagbabahagi naman ni Sir Vren. 

“Wag din natin hayaan na sa kabila ng mga paghihirap natin ay patuloy lamang tayong abusuhin ng mga pulitikong pera lamang ang iniisip kasi hindi natin deserve kung ano ang mga nangyayari sa ating ‘di maganda ngayon,” dagdag at pagtatapos niya.

Ang naratibo ng mga naging karanasan nina Ma’am Marie at Sir Vren bilang mga guro ay isang patunay na may problema na kailangang solusyonan mula sa kailaliman ng sistema ng edukasyon. Nararapat na tiyakin na ang edukasyon ay may kalidad, naaabot, at tinatamasa ng lahat. Ating tandaan na ito ay karapatan ng bawat isa at karapat-dapat tayong magkaroon nang maaliwalas na kinabukasan sa kabila ng pandemya.

Ang mga kwento nina Burek, Coleen, Gng. Ana, Gng. Merly, Ma’am Marie, at Sir Vren ay ilan lamang sa mga repleksyon ng realidad ng distance learning. Marami pang tinig ang hindi naririnig at maraming naratibo pa ang kinakailangang mabigyan ng pansin.

Ang mga panawagan na ito ng mga estudyante, magulang, at mga guro ay nararapat lamang na isaalang-alang sa mga plano at desisyon sa pagsulong sa hinaharap.

#1 Best Guide On How To Write An Essay In Tagalog

• , December 4, 2023

Curious to learn how to write an essay in Tagalog? Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what we’re going to be talking about in this handy blog post!

As you read on, you will not only learn Tagalog but also realize just how easy it is to write essays in Tagalog. After this, your Tagalog writing and overall communication skills should improve a lot!

How To Write An Essay In Tagalog

If you want to know how to write a good essay ( sanaysay in Filipino), definitely remember that less is more! By writing less, you’re conveying to your reader that you’re organized and an expert on what you’re talking about. To learn more helpful tips, make sure to keep reading!

1. Do Your Research

Doing proper research ( pananaliksik ) before getting started is essential when it comes to the writing process. After all, how will you be able to write about a topic if you don’t know anything about it? When you’re conducting research, make sure to also fact-check and gather data from multiple sources. That way, your article has more authority.

Doing more research will also ensure that you know about a certain topic in-depth and can even lead to you gaining a new perspective along the way.

2. Draft Your Essay

After completing your research and answering the questions you have in your mind, you can now proceed to drafting ( pagbabalangkas ) your essay . This process is so important because it gives you time to organize your thoughts and ideas into a concise structure. If you skip this step, your essay is sure to come out disorganized, with different topics all jumbled up in each other.

Make sure that during this step, you outline your essay thoroughly. This will make the process of writing the actual essay go much smoother because you won’t have to go back and research information or search for notes. Keep all your notes in the same place when you’re writing an essay!

3. Start Writing

After conducting research ( pananaliksik ) and drafting your essay ( pagbabalangkas ), it’s time to start writing! Remember that when you write an essay, you should divide it into three parts: introduction, body, and conclusion.

The Introduction Of The Essay

The introduction ( panimula ) is where you will answer basic questions and tell your readers what the essay is going to be about. Make sure that you hook your readers in your introduction. Otherwise, they won’t keep reading.

The Body Of The Essay

Next is the body ( katawan ) of the essay. This is where you’ll talk in-depth about the topic. Make sure to include any research you did in this section and your analysis of the research. You can also include your opinion in this section if the topic permits.

The Conclusion Of The Essay

The last part of an essay is known as the conclusion ( konklusyon or wakas ) . This is where you can wrap up any major ideas in your essay. If you’re really good, you should be able to tie your conclusion somehow back to the introduction! It’s important to keep your conclusion insightful and avoid completely summarizing the essay. Readers want to feel enlightened after they finish reading an essay, not be given an entire synopsis!

4. Edit Your Work

Your essay isn’t finished until you’ve gone back and edited it. If time permits, we recommend sleeping on your essay and then coming back to it the following day.

Looking at an essay with a fresh set of eyes will allow you to notice errors that you might have missed if you had edited it on the same day you wrote it. The two main things to check for when it comes to editing are overall clarity and grammatical mistakes. Both of these can distract your reader from the actual content of the essay if you’re not careful.

Words To Make Your Tagalog Essay Standout

Writing an essay in Tagalog can be a challenge, especially if you are not yet fluent in the language. Remember not to stress too much! With all the resources available nowadays, from YouTube videos to online articles, there are a thousand ways to check if the Tagalog word you’re using is correct.

If you want to learn more Tagalog words or the language itself, the Ling app can help. It’s a gamified language learning app available on Google Play and the App Store that teaches you all about the Tagalog language and 60+ more languages. Now, let me share with you some words to get you started writing your Tagalog essay!

There are so many more Tagalog words you can learn to make your essay more compelling, but we just wanted to get you started on how to write an essay in Tagalog .

Expanding Your Vocabulary For Tagalog Essays

To truly excel in writing essays in Tagalog, it’s essential to have a rich vocabulary. Here are some advanced words and phrases that can add depth and precision to your essays:

• Pagpapalawig (Expansion) – Use this term when you’re elaborating or expanding on a point. It shows that you’re adding more details or going deeper into a topic.
• Salungat na Pananaw (Contrary View) – When discussing a different or opposing perspective, this phrase is quite handy. It helps in introducing an alternative argument or viewpoint.
• Mahalagang Punto (Important Point) – This phrase can be used to highlight key arguments or significant aspects of your essay.
• Sa Madaling Salita (In Short) – This is a useful transition phrase for summarizing or concluding your thoughts succinctly.
• Mabisang Argumento (Effective Argument) – Utilize this when emphasizing the strength of your argument or reasoning.
• Pangunahing Tema (Main Theme) – Ideal for stating the main theme or central idea of your essay.
• Kritikal na Pagsusuri (Critical Analysis) – This is an essential phrase for essays that require analyzing or evaluating concepts, situations, or literary works.
• Pagkakatulad at Pagkakaiba (Similarities and Differences) – Use this when you are comparing and contrasting ideas or topics in your essay.
• Panghuling Pahayag (Final Statement) – This is a powerful way to introduce your concluding remarks, ensuring a strong finish to your essay.
• Susing Salita (Keyword) – Refers to the main terms or concepts central to your essay’s topic.

Incorporating these words and phrases into your Tagalog essays will not only improve the quality of your writing but also demonstrate a higher level of language proficiency. Remember, the key to effectively using advanced vocabulary is understanding the context in which each word or phrase is most appropriately used.

Common Pitfalls In Writing Essays In Tagalog

While learning how to write an essay in Tagalog , it’s just as important to know what to avoid as it is to know what to do. Here are some common pitfalls you should watch out for:

• Overuse of Direct Translations : One of the most common mistakes is directly translating phrases or idioms from English to Tagalog. This can lead to awkward phrasing or even change the meaning entirely. As we know, languages have their unique expressions, so try to think in Tagalog rather than translating from English.
• Ignoring Formal and Informal Tones : Tagalog, like many languages, has formal and informal tones. Be mindful of the tone you’re using in your essay. Academic and formal essays usually require a more formal tone, so avoid using colloquial or Tagalog slang terms .
• Neglecting the Flow of Sentences : The flow and structure of sentences in Tagalog can be quite different from English. Pay attention to sentence construction to ensure your essay reads naturally. Long, convoluted sentences can confuse readers, so aim for clarity and conciseness.
• Inconsistent Use of Tenses : Tagalog verbs can be tricky, especially with their various aspects (completed, ongoing, and contemplated). Make sure to keep your verb tenses consistent throughout your essay to maintain clarity and coherence.
• Overlooking Local Context and Nuances : Tagalog has rich local contexts and nuances. Make sure to incorporate these appropriately in your writing. Understanding and using regional expressions or phrases can add authenticity to your essay, but be careful not to misuse them.
• Insufficient Proofreading : Finally, don’t underestimate the importance of proofreading. Spelling and grammatical errors can significantly undermine the credibility of your essay. If possible, have a native speaker review your work to catch errors you might have missed.

By avoiding these common pitfalls, your journey to mastering essay writing in Tagalog will be smoother and more successful. Keep practicing, and don’t hesitate to seek feedback from native speakers or language-learning communities! Good luck on your Tagalog essay writing journey!

What is Online Learning: Advantages and Disadvantages

Technology has had an immense impact on all aspects of modern life, and learning is no exception. With the rise of the internet, online learning is an option that we can already consider along with the traditional one. Sometimes, it’s even preferred.

Online education offers students access to the best possible education, regardless of their location and as close to home as possible.

To help you whether online learning is right for you, we’ve listed some advantages and disadvantages you need to check first.

Let’s start!

What is Online Learning?

Online learning involves traditional online courses, with no difference to traditional classes taken at a local university or college.

Advantages of Online Learning

Flexibility

Students can do their studies at any time of the day or night whenever it suits them. Studying from home is often preferred to spending valuable time commuting.

Some courses may require to be completed along with the others — your course mates, but some can be studied whenever you are available.

Accessibility

With the help of the internet and a computer or mobile phone, students can access classes wherever they happen to be and continue their studies through any preferred devices — that includes the laptop, desktop, mobile phone, tablet, or even a smart TV.

Learning materials can be downloaded at any time of the day and students are encouraged to use resources such as online textbooks, websites, and interactive learning games. The use of digital learning materials such as e-books, software, videos, and audio files allow for a fast and convenient method of learning.

Customized to students’ needs

In addition, online learning provides the potential of delivering the best course pace to suit each student’s particular needs. Students interested in taking courses at a slower pace may also do so online, as long as they maintain a standard grade point average.

Online learning can give students the opportunity to complete classes at their own pace. Classes are scheduled according to when each student is available, which means students are not forced to attend class on a regular basis and waste time commuting to school.

Disadvantages of online learning

Classroom-based courses can be a challenge to complete, but given all the advantages of online learning, one cannot doubt that there are some disadvantages.

Difficult to pick up

Learning online can vary from person to person. Some may not be able to focus well and some topics especially practical skills can be difficult to pick up via online communications.

Can be stressful

Increased stress associated with having to stay up to date with everything online can be stressful. you may miss out on a few important things that have been discussed.

It can be a challenge to stay aligned with what the instructor is talking about and where the course is in at the moment. With this, y

Trouble with real-life interactions

The best way to learn online is to listen to someone else and mimic their actions. This gives you the opportunity to work with other people in a virtual environment, but it’s not as natural or as enjoyable as interacting with people in person.

Online learning is usually done alone and if you’re the social type who loves learning with personal interactions, this can be a deal breaker for you.

Distractions

Learning online means you are working in another place you’re comfortable at. This also means that you may do things that you normally do plus keep up with your online lessons.

Sometimes, it can be hard to separate your persona from attending online courses at home when you should be in fact, just resting or doing something else at home.

Unreliable internet connection

The internet can fluctuate and you may experience connectivity issues along the way. If you’re attending live online sessions, it’s extremely frustrating when you miss out important parts just because your connection is acting up.

Is online learning worth it?

In online learning, there is no travel, no parking, no physical interaction with a classroom, and usually, no dress code. You can study at their own pace and at their own time. You can even study while you are at work or a coffee shop.

However, different people will have different degrees of success in this area, so the list of disadvantages can be a huge downside to some individuals.

Before you pay for an online course or an online seminar we suggest that you check for some things first:

• Do they offer replays or playback files? In case you experience problems with the internet.
• Do they give handouts for you to review? To maximize your learning with each course and aid in case you have trouble keeping up.
• Does it have worksheets you can answer later on? To test your skills and make sure you are on the right track.

These are some questions you can ask to make sure your hard-earned money won’t go to waste.

Where to find free online courses?

There are a lot of websites that offer free online course where you can learn tons of information and even lead to to a better paying job. Here are some of the sites you can check:

• Digital Garage by Google
• Future Learn
• Open Classrooms

We hope you decide whether online learning is right for you by checking out the free courses from the websites above!

Top 5 Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Classes in the Philippines

• Course Finder
• June 24, 2022

Online learning has been the primary mode of acquiring education for most Filipino students over the last two years. But since DepEd recently announced that all schools in the country can do face-to-face classes as early as next school year, many people are now thinking of shifting back to the traditional form of learning. Isa ka ba sa kanila? Are you trying to decide whether it’s worth continuing your classes in an online setting or not? If so, then let CourseFinder help you out. We listed some of the top advantages and disadvantages of online classes in the Philippines that you should be aware of. And on that note, let’s begin.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Classes in the Philippines

There are a couple of good and bad effects of online classes in the Philippines that we would like to share with you today. We’ll start with the pros of online learning:

Benefits of Online Classes in the Philippines

• One of the best advantages of online learning is that you don't have to leave the comfort and safety of your own home ( taong bahay yarn? ) just to study. This will also lessen your chances of exposure to COVID-19 and other illnesses that may affect your performance as a student.
• You will be able to save time and money too, because there's no need for you to commute or drive to school every day.
• This depends upon the university, but a lot of online classes in the Philippines work on a Flexi-schedule scheme. With this, you can learn whenever you're free to. Something that you can't do with the traditional way of learning.
• Another one of its best advantages is that you get to spend more time with your family. Yes, you're studying and all, but you're also doing it while in their company. The presence of your loved ones can encourage you to study harder and feel less stressed.
• You will also be introduced to different programs and communication platforms your professors use to conduct their online classes. The software you'll work with may vary depending on what you're studying, but some of the ones you may have to be familiar with include Microsoft Word, Google Sheets, Skype, Adobe, Google Meet, Telegram, Zoom, and more.

Struggles of Online Classes in the Philippines

• Although it’s nice that you can attend classes without leaving your home, all that time you spend away from your teacher and classmates may make you feel isolated. And when taken for granted, that feeling may worsen and cause distinct effects on your mental health.
• Whether it be the laugh of your loved ones, the sound of the television, your dogs barking, or even the sound of jeepneys on the street, there are so many distractions when it comes to doing online classes in the Philippines. It also doesn't help that most houses of ordinary Filipino families aren't built to have an extra room that can serve as a quiet study area.
• One of the most significant struggles of online classes in the Philippines is the unreliable internet connection. Unless you’re connected to the most expensive package from the most reliable carriers, you're probably used to dealing with connectivity disruptions at this point.
• Yes, you can attend your classes with just a smartphone. But to do well, you need to have a device that can keep up with the audio, video, and program requirements of your online class. If you can afford a computer or laptop then that's great, but what if you don’t?
• Another downside of doing online classes in the Philippines is that you might not be able to develop a proper sense of responsibility and self-discipline. Since you’re not in the usual classroom setting, you may find it easy to neglect your school work and not miss deadlines.

Final Words

These are the top 5 advantages and disadvantages of online classes in the Philippines that you should always be aware of. Online learning has plenty of benefits and may be the better choice if you have all the resources and like to stay safe from all virus threats. However, if you feel unable to take in all the lessons, and you're scared on missing out on all the quintessential estudyante moments, the traditional face-to-face classes will work for you.

That's it for this article. We hope that by sharing the pros and cons of online classes in the Philippines, you'll be able to decide which mode of learning works the best.

DepEd vows shortened SY 2024-2025 won't result in further learning losses

The Department of Education (DepEd) on Wednesday admitted some challenges in its proposal to shorten School Year 2024-2025 to revert the April-May school break, saying they have to come up with interventions to ensure that it will not result in additional learning losses among students.

DepEd Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas explained that if the next school year will be cut short to pave the way for the return of the pre-pandemic school calendar, the number of school days will be reduced from the usual 180 to 165.

“Because of the shortening of the school year, masho-shorten din natin ang contact days sa mga mag-aaral [we will also shorten the contact days with the students], then we will have to cope with the possible non-covering of some competencies,” Bringas said in a Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon interview.

“So, magiging mas puspusan ngayon ang ating mga measures to make sure na ‘yung lahat ng competencies natin for a given grade level ay mako-cover natin in a shorter period of time,” he added.

(So, we have to intensify our measures to make sure that all our competencies for a given grade level will be covered in a shorter period of time.)

Last Tuesday, the DepEd said it proposed to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ending the School Year 2024-2025 on March 31, 2025, so the next school year can begin by June 2025.

The proposal was made amid the public clamor for the immediate return to the April-May school break.

Bringas said that DepEd’s Curriculum and Teaching Strand is coming up with interventions to cover all the competencies in the new MATATAG K-10 curriculum given the shorter period of school days.

“[This is] to make sure na hindi madadagdan o magkakaron pa ng additional learning loss kapag nag-shorten tayo ng ating school year,” he said.

(This is to make sure that there will be no additional learning loss when we shorten our school year.)

The Education Department earlier adopted a National Learning Recovery Program to address the learning gaps that were heightened by school closures and disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It also aims to deal with the low performance of Filipino learners in international large-scale assessments and national assessments. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News

Colleges Have Gone off the Deep End. There Is a Way Out.

By David French

Opinion Columnist

I had my head in a law book when I heard the drums. That was the sound of the first campus protest I ever experienced. I’d come to Harvard Law School in the fall of 1991 as a graduate of a small, very conservative Christian college in Nashville. Many of my college classmates had passionate religious and political commitments, but street protest was utterly alien to the Christian culture of the school. We were rule followers, and public protest looked a bit too much like anarchy for our tastes.

But Harvard was different. The law school was every bit as progressive as my college was conservative, and protest was part of the fabric of student life, especially then. This is the era when a writer for GQ magazine, John Sedgwick, called the law school “ Beirut on the Charles ” because it was torn apart by disputes over race and sex. There were days when campus protests were festive, almost celebratory. There were other days when the campus was seething with rage and fury.

That first protest was in support of faculty diversity, and it was relatively benign. I walked outside and followed the sound of the drums. A group of roughly 100 protesters was marching in front of the law school library, and soon they were joined by an allied group of similar size from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. I watched as they danced, sang and listened to speeches by student activists and sympathetic professors. That first protest had an angry edge, but it was also completely peaceful and endlessly fascinating to a kid from a small town in Kentucky who’d never seen a drum circle before.

But things soon got worse, much worse. Protests got more unruly, and student activists got more aggressive. The entire campus was in a state of conflict. In Sedgwick’s words, students were “waging holy war on one another.” Small groups of students occupied administrative offices, and angry activists shouted down their political opponents in class and often attempted to intimidate them outside class. I was shouted down repeatedly, and twice I received disturbing handwritten notes in my campus mailbox in response to my anti-abortion advocacy. My student peers told me to “go die.”

Watching the protests and experiencing the shout-downs changed the course of my career. I was both enthralled by the power of protest and repulsed by the efforts to silence dissenters. Given the immense cultural influence of American higher education, I agreed with the Supreme Court’s famous words in the 1957 case Sweezy v. New Hampshire : “Teachers and students must always remain free to inquire, to study and to evaluate, to gain new maturity and understanding; otherwise, our civilization will stagnate and die.” Those words, combined with my own negative encounters at Harvard, helped define my legal career. From that point forward, I would defend free speech.

It’s been more than 30 years since that first campus protest, and over that time I’ve seen countless protests, I’ve defended countless protesters — and I’ve even been protested against at several schools. In the course of those cases and confrontations, I’ve learned that the issue of campus protest is remarkably complex and that campus culture is at least as important as law and policy in setting the boundaries of debate.

There is profound confusion on campus right now around the distinctions among free speech, civil disobedience and lawlessness. At the same time, some schools also seem confused about their fundamental academic mission. Does the university believe it should be neutral toward campus activism — protecting it as an exercise of the students’ constitutional rights and academic freedoms but not cooperating with student activists to advance shared goals — or does it incorporate activism as part of the educational process itself, including by coordinating with the protesters and encouraging their activism?

The simplest way of outlining the ideal university policy toward protest is to say that it should protect free speech, respect civil disobedience and uphold the rule of law. That means universities should protect the rights of students and faculty members on a viewpoint-neutral basis, and they should endeavor to make sure that every member of the campus community has the same access to campus facilities and resources.

That also means showing no favoritism among competing ideological groups in access to classrooms, in the imposition of campus penalties and in access to educational opportunities. All groups should have equal rights to engage in the full range of protected speech, including by engaging in rhetoric that’s hateful to express and painful to hear. Public chants like “Globalize the intifada” may be repugnant to many ears, but they’re clearly protected by the First Amendment at public universities and by policies protecting free speech and academic freedom at most private universities.

Still, reasonable time, place and manner restrictions are indispensable in this context. Time, place and manner restrictions are content-neutral legal rules that enable a diverse community to share the same space and enjoy equal rights.

Noise limits can protect the ability of students to study and sleep. Restricting the amount of time any one group can demonstrate on the limited open spaces on campus permits other groups to use the same space. If one group is permitted to occupy a quad indefinitely, for example, then that action by necessity excludes other organizations from the same ground. In that sense, indefinitely occupying a university quad isn’t simply a form of expression; it also functions as a form of exclusion. Put most simply, student groups should be able to take turns using public spaces, for an equal amount of time and during a roughly similar portion of the day.

Civil disobedience is distinct from First Amendment-protected speech. It involves both breaking an unjust law and accepting the consequences. There is a long and honorable history of civil disobedience in the United States, but true civil disobedience ultimately honors and respects the rule of law. In a 1965 appearance on “Meet the Press,” the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described the principle perfectly: “When one breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust, he must do it openly, he must do it cheerfully, he must do it lovingly, he must do it civilly — not uncivilly — and he must do it with a willingness to accept the penalty.”

But what we’re seeing on a number of campuses isn’t free expression, nor is it civil disobedience. It’s outright lawlessness. No matter the frustration of campus activists or their desire to be heard, true civil disobedience shouldn’t violate the rights of others. Indefinitely occupying a quad violates the rights of other speakers to use the same space. Relentless, loud protest violates the rights of students to sleep or study in peace. And when protests become truly threatening or intimidating, they can violate the civil rights of other students, especially if those students are targeted on the basis of their race, sex, color or national origin.

The result of lawlessness is chaos and injustice. Other students can’t speak. Other students can’t learn. Teachers and administrators can’t do their jobs.

In my experience as a litigator , campus chaos is frequently the result of a specific campus culture. Administrators and faculty members will often abandon any pretense of institutional neutrality and either cooperate with their most intense activist students or impose double standards that grant favored constituencies extraordinary privileges. For many administrators, the very idea of neutrality is repugnant. It represents a form of complicity in injustice that they simply can’t and won’t stomach. So they nurture and support one side. They scorn the opposition, adopting a de facto posture that says , “To my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.”

I’ve experienced this firsthand. I vividly remember representing a campus Christian group in a dispute at Tufts University in 2000 . The group had been derecognized for requiring that student leaders of their group share that group’s traditional sexual ethic, which reserves sex for heterosexual marriage. You might disagree strongly with that view, but granting religious groups the flexibility to impose faith-based requirements on religious leaders fits squarely within the American tradition of free exercise of religion.

Tufts is a private university, so it has some flexibility in suppressing religious expression on campus, but it had no excuse for attempting to toss a Christian group from campus at the same time that it permitted acts of intimidation against those Christian students. For example, at the most contentious moment of the dispute, Tufts officials prevented my student clients and me from entering the hearing room where their appeal was being heard, while a crowd of protesters gathered in a darkened hallway, pressed up around us and herded us into a corner of the hall. There was no campus outrage at this act of intimidation. We saw no administrative response.

University complicity in chaos isn’t unusual. In a case I worked on when I was president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, we discovered that administrators at Washington State University’s Pullman campus had actually helped plan a disruptive protest against a play put on by a student director, an intentionally provocative show that mocked virtually every group on campus.

University or faculty participation in unlawful protest isn’t confined to the cases I worked on. At Oberlin College, administrative facilitation of ugly and defamatory student protests outside a local business ultimately cost the school $36 million in damages. At Columbia, hundreds of sympathetic faculty members staged their own protest in support of the student encampment on the quad, and there are reports that other faculty members have attempted to block members of the media from access to the student encampment.

None of this is new. All of it creates a culture of impunity for the most radical students. Disruptive protesters are rarely disciplined, or they get mere slaps on the wrist. They’re hailed as heroes by many of their professors. Administrators look the other way as protesters pitch their tents on the quad — despite clear violations of university policy. Then, days later, the same administrators look at the tent city on campus, wring their hands, and ask, “How did this spiral out of control?”

There is a better way . When universities can actually recognize and enforce the distinctions among free speech, civil disobedience and lawlessness, they can protect both the right of students to protest and the rights of students to study and learn in peace.

In March a small band of pro-Palestinian students at Vanderbilt University in Nashville pushed past a security guard so aggressively that they injured him , walked into a university facility that was closed to protest and briefly occupied the building. The university had provided ample space for protest, and both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian students had been speaking and protesting peacefully on campus since Oct. 7.

But these students weren’t engaged in free speech. Nor were they engaged in true civil disobedience. Civil disobedience does not include assault, and within hours the university shut them down. Three students were arrested in the assault on the security guard, and one was arrested on charges of vandalism. More than 20 students were subjected to university discipline, three were expelled , and one was suspended.

The message was clear: Every student can protest, but protest has to be peaceful and lawful. In taking this action, Vanderbilt was empowered by its posture of institutional neutrality . It does not take sides in matters of public dispute. Its fundamental role is to maintain a forum for speech, not to set the terms of the debate and certainly not to permit one side to break reasonable rules that protect education and safety on campus.

Vanderbilt is not alone in its commitment to neutrality. The University of Chicago has long adhered to the Kalven principles , a statement of university neutrality articulated in 1967 by a committee led by one of the most respected legal scholars of the last century, Harry Kalven Jr. At their heart, the Kalven principles articulate the view that “the instrument of dissent and criticism is the individual faculty member or the individual student. The university is the home and sponsor of critics; it is not itself the critic. It is, to go back once again to the classic phrase, a community of scholars.”

Contrast Vanderbilt’s precise response with the opposing extremes. In response to the chaos at Columbia, the school is finishing the semester with hybrid classes, pushing thousands of students online. The University of Southern California canceled its main stage commencement ceremony , claiming that the need for additional safety measures made the ceremony impractical. At both schools the inability to guarantee safety and order has diminished the educational experience of their students.

While U.S.C. and Columbia capitulate, other schools have taken an excessively draconian approach. Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas posted on X, “Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.” On April 25 the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression sent a forceful letter to the president of the University of Texas at Austin condemning the display of force on campus. “U.T. Austin,” it wrote, “at the direction of Gov. Greg Abbott, appears to have pre-emptively banned peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters due solely to their views rather than for any actionable misconduct.”

At Emory University, footage emerged of police tackling a female professor who posed no obvious danger to the police or anyone else. Protests are almost always tense, and there is often no easy way to physically remove protesters from campus, but the video footage of the confrontation with the professor was shocking. It’s hard to conceive of a justification for the violent police response.

At this moment, one has the impression that university presidents at several universities are simply hanging on, hoping against hope that they can manage the crisis well enough to survive the school year and close the dorms and praying that passions cool over the summer.

That is a vain hope. There is no indication that the war in Gaza — or certainly the region — will be over by the fall. It’s quite possible that Israel will be engaged in full-scale war on its northern border against Hezbollah. And the United States will be in the midst of a presidential election that could be every bit as contentious as the 2020 contest.

But the summer does give space for a reboot. It allows universities to declare unequivocally that they will protect free speech, respect peaceful civil disobedience and uphold the rule of law by protecting the campus community from violence and chaos. Universities should not protect students from hurtful ideas, but they must protect their ability to peacefully live and learn in a community of scholars. There is no other viable alternative.
