Research Proposal

Research questions: How has Covid-19 affected high schoolers' learning needs and study habits?

Why I'm interested? I’m interested in this because I was in high school when covid hit, and I saw its impact on my studying and learning while in school. Missing that last semester of my sophomore year affected me to miss much information from my classes. So I'm curious to see how students have been affected. If their test scores have gone down, if they study anymore, and what the difference in their grades and learning habit has changed.

Any connections or experiences from this topic? Yes, I missed my whole junior year because I only went to school twice a week, so I wasn’t getting the same learning experiences as juniors in the pasted; when they attended whole weeks of school. I also missed a semester of my sophomore year, which has affected me as I missed some knowledge I could have applied to my other classes.

Why is this topic significant? Covid -19 affects everyone in the world. Students should have done more schooling but missed a lot because they couldn’t attend school. Online school is not for everyone, so I’m wondering how that also affects certain students. Students took about 5-6 months off of school. That can hurt them in many ways because they are far from the school routine.
