Assessing the impact of COVID-19 on young peoples' learning, motivation, wellbeing, and aspirations using a representative probability panel

COVID-19疫情给学生、家长、学校和政策制定者带来了前所未有的挑战，许多儿童在家中呆了六个月后，于9月首次返校。我们的新项目将利用现有的代表性样本收集和分析英格兰年轻人（12-19岁）的高质量数据，以评估在COVID-19大流行期间取消考试、家庭学习经历和重返学校对学生学习、动机、健康和愿望的影响。这将是一个既定的分层随机抽样，科学教育跟踪（SET）的后续行动。数据收集将由Kantar在线提供，Kantar进行了最初的实地调查，并获得了5，991名受访者的明确许可，以便重新联系。这些数据，我们将链接到国家学生数据库，将提供一个独特的机会来回答以下紧迫的研究问题，分别由社会经济地位，性别和种族群体：1）考试的取消对幸福和动机有不同的影响？2)这是否改变了学生对进一步学习和未来职业的渴望？3)家庭教育是否影响学生向继续教育和高等教育的过渡？4)年轻人在封锁状态下在家学习和重返教育的经历在这方面发挥了什么作用？该团队由Lindsey Macmillan教授、帕特里克·斯特吉斯教授、吉尔·怀尼斯博士和杰克·安德斯博士领导，将世界领先的大规模调查数据设计和分析专业知识与教育不平等方面的学科专业知识相结合。我们将与教育部和惠康合作，以确保共同制作与政策相关的证据。这将填补我们在这一前所未有的时期对青年人的经历以及对他们的动机、福祉和愿望的影响的理解方面的一个重要空白。

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented challenge for pupils, parents, schools, and policy makers, with many children returning to school in September for the first time after six months at home. Our new project will collect and analyse high quality data on young people (ages 12-19) in England using an existing representative sample to assess the impact of the cancellation of exams, home learning experiences, and returning to school during the COVID-19 pandemic on pupils' learning, motivation, wellbeing, and aspirations. This will be a follow-up of an established stratified random sample, the Science Education Tracker (SET). Data collection will be delivered online by Kantar, who carried out the original fieldwork, with explicit permission from 5,991 respondents for re-contact. These data, which we will link to the National Pupil Database, will provide a unique opportunity to answer the following pressing research questions separately by SES, gender, and ethnic group: 1) Has the cancellation of examinations had differential impacts on wellbeing and motivations? 2) Has this changed pupils' aspirations for further study and future careers? 3) Has home-schooling affected pupils' transitions into further and higher education? 4) What role do young people's experiences of home learning under lockdown and returning to education play in this? Led by Professor Lindsey Macmillan, with Professor Patrick Sturgis, Dr Gill Wyness, and Dr Jake Anders, the team combines world-leading expertise in design and analysis of large-scale survey data with disciplinary expertise in educational inequalities. We will partner with the Department for Education and Wellcome to ensure the co-production of policy-relevant evidence. This will fill an important gap in our understanding of the experiences of young people and the impact on their motivations, wellbeing and aspirations during this unprecedented period.
