Contextualization Cues

The COVID-19 pandemic caused educational institutions across the world to face a new reality: when teachers and students do not share the same physical space (fractured ecologies), drastic changes in the everyday procedures and routines of teaching become an immediate necessity. In this paper, we trace some of the effects of this new situation in online classes of three experienced university teachers in the early days of the pandemic. We zoom in on dimensions of the classroom interface such as: turn-taking procedures, socialization, peer scaffolding and feedback; strategic footing changes across institutional and conversational roles; joking and humor. Not surprisingly, we found that the systematic absence of multimodal contextualization cues like gaze direction and tracing the origin of sound/speech were a trouble source in these online multiparty settings. We also saw, however, that teachers and students were successful in reinventing themselves and in devising new ways to deal with the changed circumstances. We end the paper with a number of implications for research into the classroom interface, both online and offline.

This article aims to elaborate on the dynamics of the implementation of Indonesian education using the perspective of Paul Virilio's space for acceleration as a form of the phase of acceleration space during the Covid-19 crisis. Starting from the fact that education as the standard determining the country's progress has experienced segregation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Activities related to the transfer of knowledge, which can usually be carried out in a physical space with clear boundaries of space and distance, such as in educational institutions, suddenly shift to a space that is no longer limited by space and distance. These conditions then produce various dynamics that have an impact on the implementation of education. Because the use of space for acceleration in the world of education will have a significant impact on science. This is increasingly interesting, especially in connection with the condition of Indonesia, which still has various unresolved homework in the world of education. The data in this article were obtained from books, news, research reports, journals, and internet sources. By using a qualitative exploratory method through a literature approach to answering the question of how the dynamics of the implementation of Indonesian education in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic in Paul Virilio's space for acceleration, it is known that online learning is a place to capitalize on the commodification of education through media platforms as an arena for implementing education. Besides, inequality in the distribution of capital such as facilities and access to learning creates increasingly visible gaps in society. Then the use of space for acceleration leads to a crisis of intelligence and a crisis of civilization in a country due to the inadequate implementation of education during the Covid 19 period.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread shift to online education around the world and in Hungary, too. Educational institutions from kindergartens to universities were forced to adapt rapidly to this new situation, when the space of education moved from classrooms to online video meetings; the regular methods and tools needed to be changed or modified. Nonetheless, we should keep in mind that online education itself was an already existing concept before the pandemic as part of digitalization as a current societal megatrend, however it was not widely used in educational institutions across different programs. By 2021, there are university students who have mostly or exclusively participated in higher education online. Online classes could be a new normal situation to these students instead of the pre-pandemic personal activities in physical classrooms, leading to altering the norms of participation. In our research, we collected answers to open-ended sentences from such students. As we wish to understand how students perceive the differences between online and offline education, we investigated the perceived advantages and disadvantages of online-only education, how this influenced their social networks, study efficiency and their whole experience in university education.

Information and Communication Technologies have become more prevalent in the last few years and has made a great impact on society. Worldwide, a lot of education programs offer new forms of education that are frequently supported by information and communication technology (ICT) to cater to young minds.
