The Alternative Narrative: When Digital Learning Worked during the Pandemic
Bryan R. Drost; Anita C. Levine
Journal of Education, v205 n1 p16-29 2025
From late spring of 2020 to the present, the U.S. educational conversation about learning in K-12 public schools during the pandemic has been about the fact that students did not learn as much, widening the achievement gap due to digital learning. Some K-12 public schools and school districts have reported no learning loss. This exploratory study examined elements shared by teachers, administrators, and parents that accounted for potential reasons why these individual K-12 public school districts did not experience the learning loss during digital learning that has been at the center stage of the narrative about educational experiences during the pandemic. Analysis of the results showed four elements that were central to these school districts' experiences: having an instructional framework; determining a clear pedagogical function; connecting technology to the pedagogical function; capitalizing on formative assessments. Data also revealed that the participants tended to believe that a focus on pedagogy before technology integration was crucial.
