Abstract

Learning during the COVID19 pandemic through online and learning from home has several challenges and risks of learning loss that have a longterm impact.To evaluate this, we conducted a thorough analysis of the loss of recorded learning evidence documented between March 2020 and August 2021.This systematic review aimed to gather available data and documents that are currently reported in the literature study.Given its urgency, 6 studies were identified: Five of them found evidence of student loss among at least some of the participants.The remaining studies found significant reductions in aspects of early childhood cognitive and academic achievement. In addition, four of the studies observed increasing gaps in which certain student demographics experienced more significant learning loss than others.There is a decrease in the level of participation of children and parents in following online and the number of learning hours decreases.It was decided that further research was needed to increase the number of studies produced, their geographic focus, and the number of students they observed.
