Educational Evaluation During the COVID-19 Crisis: An Urgent Systematic Review

Abstract

In the face of the pandemic of COVID-19, millions of schools around the world have been forced to close. In these months of crisis, much research has been done in the field of health, but not in the field of education. In order to investigate what has been published on education and evaluation in times of COVID-19, a systematic review of the literature was carried out with the PRISMA strategy. We searched Scopus, ERIC, Web of Science, Dialnet and Google Scholar, which provided a corpus of 23 studies. The studies are organized thematically in three dimensions: (1) Educational evaluation practices in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) People’s perceptions or knowledge of the COVID-19 crisis; (3) Reflections and proposals for the management of the COVID-19 emergency. As there is a lack of studies, we argue the need to generate further research.
