Experiences and consequences of the corona pandemic among 16-year-olds in Sweden

The aim of the project is to create an improved basis for research on the consequences of corona and covid-19 pandemics through a web survey of a sample of approximately 10,000 young people aged 16 who are part of the longitudinal project Evaluation Through Follow-up (UGU). The focus is mainly on effects in the field of education, as the students are in the transition between the compulsory primary school and the voluntary upper secondary school. There will be three main groups of questions in the survey. The first group of questions refers to a retrospection of experiences from the school during the spring term 2020 in year 9, such as that the national tests were canceled and that attendance at the school may have been worse. The second group of questions focuses on the current situation in upper secondary school, e.g. regarding the design of the teaching; and the third group of questions concerns emotions related to coronavirus and covid-19, focusing on various sources of anxiety, such as risk of infection, effects on the family economy and impact on future society. There will be questions with both fixed answer options and open answers. Data will be made available to other researchers and they will also be analyzed by researchers in the UGU group. Data can be used to shed light on a number of issues in the field of education, such as the effects of national examinations being canceled.
