Impact of COVID-19 on Student Wellbeing and Resilience – (Research)

For the attention of students in yr4, yr5 and yr6

We encourage students to participate in this study which seeks to examine the wellbeing and resilience of students in Years 4-6 during lock-down. The aim is to identify what helped children and young people to cope and be resilient during the COVID-19 with recommendations on how schools and families may support children in similar circumstances in the future.

The research will use a quantitative approach where Year 4-6 students will be invited to participate in a 10-15 minute anonymous online questionnaire. The questionnaire will contain questions about experiences of wellbeing, resilience, self-concept and general questions about their experiences while in lockdown.

For more details and the link to the questionnaire please see this file : Info sheet Parents Primary (1)

i. Gain insight on the educational use of portable technological devices in the middle and secondary schools;ii. Evaluate the experience of students through the introduction of portable technology and the impact on their learning.

Year 6 students are asked to access the survey through this link .

While the participation in the survey is on a voluntary basis, we would appreciate it if year 6 students participate in the survey to share their insights and opinions on their needs in this area.

The survey closes by cob Sunday 12th July 2020.
