STAJIć, Stefan et al. The need of taking online geography lessons during states of emergency situations. S. Afr. j. educ. [online]. 2023, vol.43, suppl.2, pp.s1-s9. ISSN 2076-3433.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15700/saje.v43ns2a2143.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether there is a need for students to take online geography lessons during states of emergency situations when schools are temporarily closed as a result of unforeseen events such as pandemics, natural disasters, technological mishaps, the effects of terrorism, war, and other significant catastrophes. With this research we investigated whether the number of online geography lessons was increasing or decreasing and whether students searched for online help during school closure. Research was conducted through an online survey. Our study will contribute to the understanding of investigating how students at any school in the world are prepared for online learning. The results show that students need online assistance and tutoring when learning geography in unpredictable situations when schools are closed.
