In late March 2020, as the new coronavirus spread, a joint research project at Rikkyo University, represented by Professor Atsushi Nakahara, was immediately planned.Questionnaire surveys (parents with children of high school students and elementary, junior high and high school students) and interview surveys (teachers, junior high and high school students, parents, NPO corporate staff) are conducted on the Internet, mainly targeting Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama prefectures. Conducted at.The actual situation was grasped by the testimony and data analysis of all parties such as students, parents, teachers, NPO corporations, etc. who are in the midst of "nationwide closed school" as a countermeasure against infectious diseases.
The results of this survey are summarized in this book, "The Day the School" Stopped "-The Challenges of the People Who Support the Learning of With Corona".What kind of changes have been made to children's lives and learning by the closure of school?It will be an opportunity for educators who support learning to clarify the actual situation, talk about what is necessary to stop learning even in unpredictable situations, and take further action. The purpose is.
This book presents data and examples of "concentration of roles in the home and their issues" and "communication between teachers and children who are closed" that were clarified by the survey.
For example, at the same time as the school was closed, the role played by the school suddenly concentrated on individual households, and parents (especially mothers) took over regardless of whether they were paid or at home.In some cases, parents over-recognized the role of "learning management" and became more "administrative", while they did not realize the need to play the role of "learning management", even though they were aware of it. It became clear that various situations occurred, such as cases where hands were not available and even care was not available.
In addition, the results of the high school student survey suggest that it was not the means of communication (what to convey) or the content (what to convey) but the frequency (how much to connect) that was important in the continuation of learning.
In addition, interviews with "supporters" such as NPOs have revealed the impact of school closure measures on the welfare function of "stopped" schools.How will we build a sustainable support system in anticipation of the prolongation of the situation by linking welfare and education, as there are not only those who are more likely to receive support due to online access, but also those who are more difficult to reach. Issues such as welfare were also shown.
