Abstract

Globally, COVID-19 has disrupted educational practices, causing basic education institutions in Thailand to close temporarily. Schools in Thailand as well as the world over have switched to online learning environments to guarantee students’ educational continuation. The purposes of this study were firstly  to determine whether digital technology is required for learning loss recovery; secondly, to conduct a systematic literature review using bibliometric keywords; thirdly, to assess the need for using digital technology to recover students’ learning losses at the basic education level, both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and finally, to summarize data in an infographic landscape format pertaining to this topic. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 600 online respondents from throughout Thailand. The respondents included 56 educational supervisors, 40 school administrators, and 504 teachers. The results show that the following can be used: (a) student communication websites and applications, (b) student work acceptance websites and applications, (c) learning management systems, (d) digital media libraries, (e) online assessment tools, and (f) teaching methods and tools for future use. The respondents indicated that students have learning loss relating to (a) morality, ethics and manners, (b) good citizenship, (c) imagination and creativity, (d) health promotion, and (e) mathematical processes.
