STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES IN REMOTE LEARNING: INITIAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
education systems in a very short time by organising remote learning for students in general education schools. This change affected the working conditions of all participants in the learning process and presumably the learning outcomes of students. This paper examines the learning outcomes of students of Grades 5-12 during the COVID-19 lockdown. The research was carried out using the data from the electronic school diary “Mano Dienynas” of 22 schools: 11 schools from the favourable (high) SES municipal context and 11 schools from the unfavourable (low) SES municipal context. The total sample was 3747 students from high SES schools and 1942 students from low SES schools. The research results demonstrated that the learning results (marks) of both groups of students in maths and mother tongue (Lithuanian) were higher during the lockdown period than during the regular education that took place a year before. Moreover, the results in maths increased more than in Lithuanian, the learning results of lower grades (Grades 5-8) were higher than those of older grades (Grades 9-12), whereas the marks for tests were lower than those of independent work. The study encourages further investigation into remote learning and learning experiences, since scientific knowledge is of paramount importance in this special Covid-19 period with a fundamental change in educational practice. Keywords: Covid-19, remote learning, learning outcomes, SES
