When this is over, what will education researchers want to study about the 2020 covid-19 crisis? Here are some answers.





When this is all over, what will researchers want to study about how American education was affected by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic that has shut down public life in most places around the world?
Joshua Goodman, an associate professor of economics at Brandeis University, asked his colleagues that question on Twitter, and he got plenty of responses.

Goodman is an applied microeconomist on labor economics and education policy, and his overarching goal is to provide rigorous quantitative evidence that illuminates how schools and labor markets work, particularly with respect to postsecondary and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education.
Here are just a few of the answers:

  • What are the socio-emotional outcomes for adolescents?
  • Have attitudes about teachers and public schools changed?
