The four-year longitudinal study, which began in 2021, the first year of research (among 1st and 5th graders) and was designed to identify school failures. The research focuses on the possible causes of school failures, their impact on cognitive and non-cognitive (motivational, emotional, social) areas, as well as the exploration of how teachers think about school failures, what reasons they think about student failures experienced at school.
The phenomenon of school failure is interpreted as a process, but based on the first measurement – which began in the 1st and 5th grades – we cannot yet form a complete picture of them in the first research year. However the longitudinal study will increasingly help us to answer related research questions, and to develop the content and methodology of the development program and the further accredited training for teachers.
