In this national research project, Dr Linda Lorenza (CQUniversity) and Dr Don Carter (UTS) are conducting a survey to learn what primary school students did in the arts - dance, drama, media arts, music and visual arts - while learning online during the COVID-19 emergency shutdown periods in 2020 and 2021. The online survey results may help teachers to develop arts learning for primary students in the future.
What does participation involve?
We are inviting primary school teachers, parents and students from across Australia to share their experience of online arts learning during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.
The survey link is open now and closes Thursday, 6 April 2023.
We invite you to complete the survey and share it with primary school teachers, students and parents in your community.
There are 25 questions - 20 questions have multiple choice responses, and 5 questions have an audio record option for you to tell us your answers. It will take around 30 minutes to finish the survey, depending on how much detail you wish to share. Doing this survey will not affect students' grades at, or teachers' positions in, or parents' relationships with schools.
The survey is confidential and respondents remain anonymous. You are welcome to preview the entire survey as a PDF in Associated Documents.
While we are keen to hear about your experiences, if thinking about the COVID-19 periods makes you unhappy, please do not do this survey.
