This study aims to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on public school students' achievement by collecting and analyzing the two-year test results from the Foundational Skills Assessment, a province-wide standardized test administered annually in British Columbia, Canada. Multilevel modeling was conducted to analyze whether the impact of COVID-19 correlated with local school district demographics, including the percentage of indigenous students, the percentage of students with special needs, and the median household income. The results revealed that the impact of COVID-19 on students' literacy and numeracy achievement was associated with the percentage of students with special needs and median household incomes in the local school districts. Implications of the findings for postpandemic revitalization were discussed.
本研究旨在通过收集和分析基础技能评估的两年测试结果,调查新冠疫情对公立学校学生成绩的影响。基础技能评估是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省每年进行的一项全省范围的标准化测试。进行了多层次建模,以分析新冠疫情的影响是否与当地学区的人口统计数据相关,包括原住民学生的百分比、有特殊需求学生的百分比以及家庭收入中位数。结果显示,新冠疫情对学生读写和算术成绩的影响与当地学区有特殊需求学生的百分比和家庭收入中位数有关。讨论了这些研究结果对疫情后振兴的影响。
