LATEST RESEARCH
EDUCATION IN THE TIME OF CORONA: HOME LEARNING STUDY
On this website I will post several short research reports in which I report some of the findings from the Education in the Time of Corona study on Home Learning, funded by the European Association of Social Psychology and, more recently, the University of Sussex’s Higher Education Innovation Fund.
The study consists of a survey for teachers and parents of school-aged children in the UK. It asks about the provisions that schools have provided for home learning, and what they think about it. The survey is ongoing, but, considering the relevance and timeliness of the topic, I want to publicise the results as soon as they are available. Please bear in mind, though, that all the results I report in these blogs are early, preliminary, and may change as more responses come in.
