Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons behind students' academic failure in the online science course during junior high school education in Shahryar, Iran. The present qualitative study is phenomenological in its methodology. The participants of this project were selected from among junior high school science teachers who had at least a bachelor's degree, and the final number of participants was determined according to the saturation of answers that were identical. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, which was then analyzed using Colaizzi's descriptive phenomenological method. The findings revealed six major themes that accounted for the reasons why junior high school students in Shahryar who received virtual instruction failed academically: economic problems, problems related to the teacher and school, problems related to students, problems related to parents. Technical problems related to SHAD appliocation and lack of correct and principled evaluation were classified. Based on the findings, different solutions related to the tasks of different experts were introduced and discussed. Ultimately, the findings demonstrate that creating electronic content appropriate for flipped education, launching an electronic content website with a flipped education focus, and setting up a teacher-based surveillance training center specifically designed for online learning by Farhangian University can reduce the issue of academic dropout by fifty percent in critical situations
