Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the attitudes of parents and teachers of the first three grades towards the use of distance education and traditional education in Jordan. The study sample consisted (157) male and female teachers, (235) parents of students and parents towards the feasibility of distance education and traditional education. After adjusting and applying them to the study sample, the results showed that there are moderate-level trends in the research sample towards the use of e-learning and its feasibility in raising the academic level of students. There are low-level trends towards the feasibility of using traditional education in raising the academic level of class students. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (alpha less than 0.05) in the attitudes of parents and teachers of the first three grades when using distance education due to the gender variable, and there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (alpha less than 0.05) in the attitudes of parents and teachers of the first three grades towards the use of traditional education due to the gender variable. The researcher recommended that school curricula include activities that take into account distance education strategies and enhance the role of parents and teachers through rehabilitating and training them in various ways to identify and practice this type of education.
