Researchers looking for 250 educators for study
Brock University wants to hear from teachers about their experiences during the pandemic.
Child and Youth Studies Professor Dawn Zinga and Associate Professor Danielle Sirianni Molnar have launched a study entitled "Teachers' Perspectives on the Pandemic."
"Teachers have faced an incredible number of challenges during the pandemic, such as having to adapt to completely different learning environments with no warning," says Sirianni Molnar. "We want to understand their experiences, including impacts to their health and well-being. We are also very interested in what teaching is like during these difficult and ever-changing times."
The research team is looking for input from 250 elementary or high school teachers who are certified with the Ontario College of Teachers.
Participants will need to have at least two years experience teaching in Ontario.
Anyone who is interested in participating can enroll by emailing teapopstudy@brocku.ca.
Three surveys will be conducted two months apart, focusing on virtual and in-person learning.
Participants will receive a $20 Amazon gift card for each completed survey.
The researchers will also conduct one-on-one online interviews with educators wishing to go into more detail, to gauge their thoughts on what needs to be done to improve the situation.
Those who complete an online interview will get a $25 Amazon gift card.
