A study of Canadian students in grades 4 to 12 suggests that children who learned remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic reported they felt they ‘mattered less’ than their peers who studied in person.
TORONTO -- A study of Canadian students suggests that children who learned remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic reported they felt they ‘mattered less’ than their peers who studied in-person.
The researchers wrote that attention has been paid to the efficacy of online learning on the reduction of virus spread, its impact on learning loss and mental health, but not much consideration has been made to the social and emotional implications of the teaching approach for elementary and secondary students.
Elementary school students who learned in-person full-time reported mattering more than secondary students who learned in-person part-time . Other studies show an association with mattering increasing with age, the study says.
