Abstract
Background and Aim: With the outbreak of the coronavirus, Iran's educational system, like many other countries, faced numerous challenges and opportunities. This article studies the sociological dimensions of the Corona ecosystem and its appropriate and inappropriate functions in Iran's education system.
Methods: The research was conducted using a sequential mixed method. The statistical population included senior, middle and school-level managers, teachers, Farhangian University students and school students, with a sample size of 1229 determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table. The sampling method was a combination of cluster random sampling and disproportionate quota sampling. Data collection tools included participatory observation and lived experiences, as well as two researcher-made questionnaires: the first with 85 questions for managers and teachers and 65 questions for students, primarily using the Likert scale. The validity of the questionnaires was assessed through pre-test, face and content validity and reliability was measured by judge agreement. The research findings were analyzed through SPSS software and with descriptive and inferential statistics methods and T test, analysis of variance, Tuky LSD, ATA x2 test, Phi Grammar and Spearman correlation coefficient, TB and TC Kendall and Kruskal Wallis H test.
Ethical Considerations: The ethical principles, especially honesty in citing texts, maintaining the originality of the article and obtaining informed consent from participants, were observed in the preparation of this article.
Results: The research results indicate that the conditions of education in the Corona ecosystem can be described as a turbulent and instantaneous society, with inappropriate functions in the dimensions of education, justice and health and appropriate latent functions such as increased technological capabilities, improved communications and enhanced participation.
Conclusion: The Corona ecosystem has brought significant changes to Iran's education system. These changes have created challenges in the dimensions of education, justice and health, but also provided opportunities to enhance technological capabilities, improve communications and increase participation. In the post-Corona era, to leverage these opportunities and prepare for crises, it is necessary to gradually upgrade educational technology infrastructure and develop more comprehensive programs for equitable and inclusive education.
