Abstract :

With the spread of corona and the transformation of face-to-face education into virtual education, educating students, especially in adolescence, has been a challenge for parents. The aim of the present study is to understand the lived experience of mothers and its related dimensions and meanings about virtual education during coronary quarantine. The research method is descriptive phenomenology. For this purpose, among Tehran mothers, 15 people who had at least one school child aged 11 to 15 years were selected by purposive sampling method and data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews, and this continued until the researcher reached theoretical saturation. Data analysis was performed by coding and identifying the main and sub-categories using the Klaizi method. Findings of research on mothers' worries and concerns including 4 main themes and 9 sub-categories, respectively: students' cultural and social harms (students' vulnerability in cyberspace, the growth of consumerist culture in students and disorders in students' sociability), and students' mental health risks. Physical and mental injuries), the inefficiency of e-learning (incomplete realization of education and lack of infrastructure for e-learning) and the perceived benefits of e-learning (e-learning opportunities and increasing the ability of students in cyberspace).
