Abstract
Introduction: With the spread of the coronavirus, the world's education system, including Iran, faced problems, and in order to ensure that education continues, various solutions were presented, including virtual education through the Shad network.
Method: The research is applied in terms of purpose; qualitative in terms of data type; and content analysis in terms of implementation method. The statistical population was elementary school teachers in Ilam city, who were selected as a sample for the interview using the snowball method. The tool used was a semi-structured interview.
Findings: The results of the coding of the interviews showed that 222 instances were identified, which were combined a second time to obtain 144 codes. By categorizing the identified instances, 75 "basic themes" were identified. After combining and summarizing the basic themes, 32 "organizing" themes were identified, including one or more basic codes. Finally, 7 overarching themes were identified, which are: The way teachers get to know the Happy Network, how they become interested in the Happy Network, how they learn to use the Happy Network, how teachers deal with students' absences in the Happy Network, how teachers talk in the Happy Network, the way content is presented in the Happy Network, how teachers give feedback to students, and how teachers give feedback to students in the Happy Network.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the way teachers deal with the Happy Student Network is not the same for all teachers. However, teachers' dealing with the Happy Network has advantages and disadvantages, and this network has encountered problems and shortcomings in achieving its educational goals, but overall, teachers have been satisfied with this network for advancing educational goals.
