Investigating the challenges of teaching and evaluation in the context of cyberspace

Virtual learning refers to all forms of teaching and learning that are implemented and supported electronically and are based on values such as being student-centered, independent, self-directed, and active. The aim of this research is to examine the challenges in teaching and assessment within the virtual environment. To gather the findings of this research, we used a library-based method, which is classified as fundamental research. The investigations conducted regarding the challenges facing virtual learning showed that in this context, challenges can be observed for both students and teachers and parents. This is because children become overly dependent on visual and smart devices, which reduces learners' motivation and makes it difficult for some families to provide the necessary internet access. The use of this space has caused teachers to spend insufficient time teaching in their classrooms and to use other people's materials excessively, and real assessment in this space is quite difficult and not so widely accepted. Regarding the challenges of assessment, written assessments, classroom Q&A, class presentations, and electronic portfolios can be mentioned, which are all explained in detail in the text.
