COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT AGE SCHOOL PUPILS` VIEW ON ONLINE AND TRADITIONAL EDUCATION

Abstract

This article studies the attitudes of schoolchildren of different ages towards traditional and online education based on a comparative analysis. With the development of the latest technologies, online education has become popular. This process has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing many schools and universities to move to online mode. The study found that younger students (7-12 years old) consider online education to be interactive and interesting, while older students (13-18 years old) prefer traditional education. 100 students (50 younger and 50 older) participated in the study. The results of the survey showed that younger students adapt faster to digital technologies and perceive online education positively, while older students prefer face-to-face communication with a teacher. Technical issues, motivational factors, and learning outcomes were also analyzed. The study results showed that the learning format needs to be adapted to different age groups. While interactive and digital methods are effective for younger students, a traditional approach is important for older students. The results of this study provide useful recommendations for teachers and researchers.
