A qualitative survey-based research project about the innovation, novel partnerships, and enhanced questions of access in teaching and learning practices due to COVID-19 precautionary measures.
Duration: | May to December 2020 |
Funding: | With financial support from internal 番茄社区S funding for RA |
Academic Group: | Education |
Key Words: | Teaching and learning, early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary, education, COVID-19 |
Project Description
On the 11th March 2020, the World Health Organisation characterised the COVID-19 virus spread as a pandemic (WHO, 2020), and to reduce the spread of the virus many national governments have issued directives enforcing university, college, school and early childhood settings closures, or restricting grouping and social distancing practices whilst they remain open. Teachers across all sectors have significantly reconfigured their teaching and practices at very short notice.
In addition, as teaching and learning is now largely contained to people’s homes, families have become much more involved in facilitating education programs especially for early childhood and primary aged children. Teachers are on the front line “rapidly mobilising and innovating to facilitate quality distance learning for students in confinement, with or without the use of digital technologies” (International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030, 2020). They are also key communicators about how the virus spreads and how to keep safe and supported. These changes in education are global, urgent and look to alter education practices from this point onwards.
It is a time of rapid innovation, novel partnerships, and enhanced questions of access, requiring urgent documentation and analysis to produce reports, case studies, guides and other resources to support teaching and learning within these less familiar social configurations.
The projects seeks to:
- listen to teacher voices and stories about their work and their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic (through and online survey), and
- bring teacher voices into the collation of strategies to inform education responses.
The project has approval from the 番茄社区 Human Research Ethics Committee (approval no.H8090).
