Seoul Elementary, Middle, and High School Students Strengthen 'Reading Education' During School Opening Delay
[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 1st that during the school closure period due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), it will operate 'Home Stay Reading' using Seoul-style reading and discussion education in elementary, middle, and high schools to minimize learning loss and enhance the effectiveness of home study.
This is a student home reading program where students prepare for post-reopening classes through reading activities at home.
Each school identifies parts of the curriculum suitable for home study, reorganizes the curriculum, readjusts the annual class plan, and then designs reading activity assignments and flipped learning. Afterwards, assignments and materials are provided through the school website, mobile home communications, and class group chats, guiding students on activities and usage methods, while checking and giving feedback on students' submitted interim results.
Students download assignments and materials, engage in various reading activities, prepare and submit interim results, thereby preparing for full-fledged student-participatory classes after reopening.
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education categorized this Home Stay Reading into curriculum-linked reading activities to compensate for gaps in class instruction and humanities-oriented reading activities to enhance humanities literacy. For elementary students, it is divided into lower grades (grades 1-3) and upper grades (grades 4-6), with various reading activities reorganized according to the curriculum at schools and guided to families.
