PARENTAL VIEWS SOUGHT ON SUPPORTING CHILDREN’S LEARNING DURING COVID-19
Dr Una O’Connor Bones, Deputy Director of the UNESCO Centre based in the School of Education at Ulster University and lead researcher commented:
“The rapid transition to remote learning for children attending schools at all levels has no doubt been challenging for parents, guardians, pupils and teachers. This research project aims to provide a better understanding of parents’ experiences for those working in education and government policy across Northern Ireland and further afield. We will explore the experiences of parents in supporting their child to learn from home to understand what resources, support and communications exist between schools, pupils and parents during this period and to highlight the challenges and the benefits reported by parents in supporting their children’s learning at this time.”
The short surveys are available open for responses until 15 May and can be accessed via:
