Abstract

Innovations assets during the pandemic time and gradually commitment formed it fundamental to transform traditional education methods and made current many crucial breakpoints in the educational process in early childhood education. The present study is an augmentation to the issue of the virtual learning environment at preschools. Multiplying the lines of open and distance learning, including cyberculture as a new note in learning, attracting the Internet as a source and means of teaching, increasing in real-time the links between computer-mediated education partners, reporting on cyberspace as a privileged environment, on the performance of the education, in general, are conclusive examples of the stated evolution. It does not mean that everything in school is moving from the current to the virtual. This study selected descriptive survey research for quantitative methods. The research design used appropriate frequencies to collect responses through an online data from Facebook group members ("Pregătim preşcolarii pentru şcoală"). The target population comprised of 280 parents in Romania. One-self administered questionnaires were used to obtain data on parents' perceptions of conventional schooling and in decision making, they should involve pupils in a homeschool setting. We suggest that a parent's moderate degree of engagement through online learning is essential as it involves reinforce to a child. The results provided here shows that learning process based on inquiry-approach could contribute to the development of home education programs and curriculum resources and materials for early childhood education. Also, present the perspectives of accelerated curricula for gifted children from the mainstream education system during pandemic times.
