Using NAEP Data to Understand Student Experiences and Achievement During the Pandemic

Sun, April 14, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin 5

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 Pandemic brought widespread disruptions in the education systems, leading to school closures, adaptation of remote learning, and changes in teaching methods. Recent NAEP data showed declines in mathematics and reading comprehension since the start of the pandemic. Using the NAEP data between 2019 and 2022, presenters in this symposium unpack how the pandemic may have impacted student learning and experiences by analyzing various contextual variables at various levels. Presenters examine changes in public school composition, analyze health and socio-economic data, compare students’ noncognitive constructs, investigate teachers’ recovery efforts for the learning loss, and explore teacher beliefs in relation to student interest and enjoyment in mathematics and achievement. The symposium includes discussions about achievement differences in student subgroups.
