摘要

Utilizing the data from a survey (n = 26,799) distributed in fall 2020 by an Albertan non-profit, this study explores parental concern levels as they relate to students’ engagement and motivation in school and curricular gaps that may have resulted from the unique challenges brought on by the pandemic. Understanding these concerns helps educational bodies and stakeholders look to prepare for future educational disruptions and highlights how parents react to large-scale changes. Focusing on parents of Albertan K-12 students, this study employs multiple ordinal logistic regressions to explore how parental concern differs depending on the school type a student attends, whether public, francophone, private/independent, charter, or separate. I find decreased levels of concern for parents and caregivers with students enrolled in private/independent schools. In contrast, I find increased concern levels for parents of students with large class sizes, higher grade levels, and varying socio-demographic variables.
