Distance education: A ruin of health

Abstract

This review essay addresses the problem of interaction between humans and technologies within the educational context. To what extent are the problems and consequences of the measures taken with regard to the introduction of distance learning realized today? The issue of integral combination of many elements of the educational environment is being investigated. On the basis of a variety of literature on educational, social, psychological, and brain sciences, using the methodology of reasoning, the conditions of quality life of the educational process are determined, including first of all the problems of formation of morality, responsibility and initiative of the student, as well as mental and physical health. The actual end result was the establishment of fact that it is fundamentally impossible to replace direct or personal education (upbringing) by its distant, irresponsible, remote form. Transformation of the educational environment through the separation of individuals from each other does not only lead to the exhaustion of opportunities to obtain quality knowledge, but also to chamber loneliness with disastrous consequences for moral, mental and physical health.
