Under 2020 har människors beteenden förändrats på grund av Covid-19. I ett nytt forskningsprojekt kallat Utopian Stories ska elever hjälpa forskare att undersöka vad vi låtit bli att göra på grund av pandemin, och vad vi kan tänkas fortsätta att avstå från framöver för att bidra till ett bättre klimat. Elever runt om i Sverige…

As educators approach the one-year mark in pandemic-related school changes, many are experiencing high levels of traumatic stress, assert Christy Tirrell-Corbin, Center for Early Childhood Education and Intervention at the University of Maryland, and Carlomagno Panlilio, Department of Educational Psychology at Penn State University. In this commentary, they suggest short-term solutions, such as focusing on…

En jämförelse mellan föräldrar med barn i årskurs 9 och gymnasiets första årskurs i Sverige visar att övergången till distansundervisning hade begränsade konsekvenser för den allmänna smittspridningen. Smittspridningen bland lärare på högstadiet var däremot dubbelt så hög som bland gymnasielärare, visar studie.

Utmaningen med distansundervisning under pandemin har varit att ha en bra och spontan kommunikation mellan lärare och elev. Samtidigt är förhoppningen att undervisning på distans ska bereda vägen för ett bättre regelverk för fjärrundervisning. Det menar forskaren Anna Åkerfeldt, didaktikforskare vid Stockholms universitet och process- och projektledare Ifous.

Megan Bowen, director of Penn Foster High School, says educators there have discovered keys to making remote learning work. In this commentary, Bowen suggests tailoring instruction to individual students, adopting formative practices, relying on data, building community and performing outreach.

With the technology now available, it’s clear that simply broadcasting pre-recorded lectures is no longer an option for forward-thinking universities.
