An interdisciplinary and comparative diagnosis of secondary problems emerging in attitudes and behaviours of contemporary youth as a consequence of the pandemic coronavirus Covid-19, in individual and community perspectives

The project is interdisciplinary, dynamic and process-oriented. Interdisciplinary, because the nature of the pandemic crisis leaves its mark on various spheres of life. Due to the fact that the original subject of our research idea was a student perceived as one of the main actors in the theatre of school life, we added to him other important persons on that stage. They are in relationship with him (the Student) the Teachers and the Parents of the Student. Therefore, it was a natural consequence to broaden the spectrum of our research to include each of these groups. We locate this interest in the perspective of the individual experience of the pandemic by the Pupil - as a person and his/her experience(s); as well as each group separately, i.e. Teacher / Parents.... We have also tried to capture the communal experiences of the time of pandemic arising from remote learning, therefore concerning peer relationships, relationships with teachers, relationships within the family. In order to adequately describe such a complex, multi-stakeholder research scene, it was necessary to invite sociologists, psychologists, pedagogues, political scientists, philosophers, management and organisation specialists, media scholars, both academics and practitioners: sociotherapists, psychotherapists, school principals. We assumed that such a multifaceted view of the state of affairs would give us the closest approximation to an objective diagnosis of the situation, describing the secondary problems emerging from the process of remote learning and the time of contagion in students' behaviour and attitudes. The research ran from September 2020 to October 2021, covering the whole school year, referring in some issues to reminiscences of earlier phases of the pandemic. The process was based on a transgression of research methods and a phasing of the research process. Both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies were used. The entire research process was preceded by a pilot study carried out from March to June 2020.
