Exploring the Role of Virtual Learning at Little Friends Infant School Harare
Abstract
This study focused on exploring the role of Virtual learning for ECD learners at Little Friends Infant School Harare. The study will focus on how virtual learning emerged, how it was done, the availability of resources, the teacher's know-how, and above all if this learning process managed to achieve the targeted objectives. Since the study sought to explore social phenomena, a phenomenological research design was appropriate under a qualitative research approach. A sample size of 10 teachers was used in the study. The outcome of the research showed that virtual learning was being conducted by ECD teachers at Little Friends School. The observation shows that the learners were embracing virtual learning, with the help of their parents or guardians. It also showed that the teachers have a great understanding of virtual learning and are very comfortable embracing this new method of teaching. The study therefore recommends that there is a need for funding to increase access by learners who might have challenges accessing virtual learning. Schools should embrace the use of virtual platforms at the ECD level such that e-learning becomes an important part of the school programs. There is also a need for sharing skills so that users on both ends understand the use and importance of virtual learning
