PROTOCOL: Education and Covid-19: An Evidence and Gap Map

This protocol describes the background and proposed methods for an evidence and gap map that aims to collate all education related research conducted since the start of the pandemic in January 2020. Studies included in the map will be those that explore the effect of the pandemic, and subsequent remediation strategies, on pre-primary, primary, secondary and special education school pupils’ academic and wellbeing outcomes, as well as teacher outcomes. The map will be created using robust search, retrieval, and methodological approaches to minimise potential sources of research bias. It will be made publicly available and will provide a visual presentation of the available educational research.
