This episode of the Making Afterschool Cool podcast focuses on the implementation and results of a student-led research study regarding the impact the pandemic had on high school students. We frequently heard the opinions of parents and educators about the impact COVID-19 had on their lives, but seldom did we hear from students. However, to gain a better understanding of how COVID-19 impacted the lives of students in Texas; the Intercultural Development Research Association (IDRA) worked with students who interviewed their peers’ reactions to the pandemic.
During this podcast you will learn about:
- Information about the Intercultural Development Research Association (IDRA)
- Types of support the students received to complete the survey
- Research results and key finding highlights
