Working Title: The Impact of Remote Learning on Student Academic Performance

Interest in Topic: As an educator and parent, I have observed significant shifts in student engagement and achievement since the widespread adoption of remote learning. My interest stems from a desire to understand how these changes affect educational outcomes and to explore whether remote learning offers long-term benefits or poses challenges to student success beyond my personal observations in the classroom.

Tentative Thesis: While remote learning provides flexibility and access to education, it ultimately undermines student academic performance due to reduced social interaction, limited teacher-student engagement, and disparities in technological access.

Research and Writing Goals: The goal of this research is to inform educators, policymakers, and parents about the potential pitfalls of remote learning, encouraging the development of strategies that mitigate its disadvantages. By understanding the limitations and benefits, stakeholders can make more informed decisions regarding the integration of remote teaching methods into standard educational practices.

Main Sides of the Argument:

  • For Remote Learning: It offers greater flexibility, allows access for students in remote or underserved areas, and fosters the development of digital skills necessary for the modern workforce.
  • Against Remote Learning: It hampers social interaction vital for social development, diminishes engagement and accountability, and exacerbates inequities related to technological access.
