Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of education during the coronavirus outbreak when real training is not possible. The statistical population of the study was all students of girls' schools in District 5 of Tehran in the academic year of 2020 in all educational levels with 67,000 students. The sample size was selected by Cochran relation and 0.068 error and 207 students were selected by stratified random sampling method. The present research was conducted by descriptive method, and the research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire in the second half of the 2020 academic year. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by pilot test and calculation of Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.816. The results of this study showed that about 70% of the virtual education of girls' schools in District 5 of Tehran was in the form of simultaneous education with the effective presence of about 76% of students. Also, the quality of e-learning was very good due to the simultaneous use of synchronous and asynchronous e-learning tools by teachers to achieve educational goals, and encouraged students to learn and actively participate.
