Monday 18 January 2021
How do we make sure students can learn remotely, at home?
The Education Endowment Fund examines the existing research (from 60 systematic reviews and meta-analyses) for approaches that schools can use to support students learning remotely, at home, online during COVID-19.
Key findings:
- Teaching quality is more important than how lessons are delivered
- Access to technology is key, especially for disadvantaged pupils
- Peer interactions can provide motivation and improve learning outcomes
- Supporting pupils to work independently can improve learning outcomes
- Different approaches to remote learning suit different types of content and pupils
