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

新冠肺炎疫情给学生、家长、学校和政策制定者带来了前所未有的挑战，许多儿童在在家呆了6个月后，于9月份首次重返校园。我们的新项目将收集和分析英国年轻人(12-19岁)的高质量数据，使用现有的具有代表性的样本来评估新冠肺炎疫情期间取消考试、家庭学习经历和返回学校对学生的学习、动机、幸福感和抱负的影响。这将是一个既定的分层随机抽样的后续行动，科学教育跟踪(SET)。数据收集将由坎塔尔在线进行，他进行了最初的实地考察，并得到了5991名受访者的明确许可，可以重新联系。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，分别回答以下按社会经济地位、性别和种族划分的紧迫研究问题：1)取消考试对幸福感和动机是否有不同的影响？2)这是否改变了学生对深造和未来职业的渴望？3)家庭教育是否影响了学生向继续教育和高等教育的过渡？4)年轻人在家学习的经历在其中扮演了什么角色？在林赛·麦克米伦教授、帕特里克·斯特吉斯教授、吉尔·怀尼斯博士和杰克·安德斯博士的带领下，该团队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领域的学科专业知识相结合。我们将与教育部和惠康公司合作，确保共同制作与政策相关的证据。这将填补我们在了解年轻人的经历以及在这一史无前例的时期对他们的动机、福祉和抱负的影响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.
