Abstract
The Corona epidemic was initially considered a problem in the health field, but it suddenly covered all the different fields of the world. In the meantime, one of the fields that underwent a great transformation was education. The current research seeks to identify and categorize the dimensions of the challenges of education in the era of Corona in primary school. It is practical in terms of purpose, descriptive in terms of data collection, and qualitative of phenomenological type in terms of nature of the data which was done using the exploratory strategy. The statistical population was the teachers, parents and students of Saleh Abad city and its villages, who were selected for the interview using the non-random sampling method and according to the rule of saturation and maximum diversity (10 teachers, 10 parents and 10 students). A semi-structured interview was used to collect data. To validate the qualitative data, the participant review method was used. The information was coded using maxqda software version 2020 and by thematic analysis method. By analyzing the themes of virtual education, problems were identified in "physical","psychological","educational"and"infrastructural" fields. The analyzes showed that due to the lack of a suitable platform, especially in the deprived areas of the country, and the physical and psychological conditions of the students in the elementary level, the implementation of virtual education in the context of the Shad network and radio and television has problems such as academic failure, lack of sleep, lack of motivation, excessive fatigue, dry atmosphere and boring education, dropping out of school, failure to observe course budgeting, inefficient evaluation, failure to fully teach courses, inability to recognize students, anxiety and stress, aggressiveness, dependence on virtual space and inactivity created for teachers, students and their parents, which by reforming the virtual education method can help reduce these problems and increase the benefit of this type of education.
