Identifying and reducing Corona-related educational disadvantages (CoBi)
The CoBi project (identifying and reducing Corona-related educational disadvantages) aims to identify pupils who are notably affected in their learning by school closures and wants to provide them with psychological counselling. This is realized through the “MainKind” consultancy. In addition to learning problems, the social-emotional stress is also examined.
Guided interviews with the help of school psychologists point out which groups of pupils are particularly at risk and where their problems are.
Based on this, a computer-based online screening tool for the identification of these notably pupils at risk is arranged. This is used to determine whether a learner is at risk of failing to complete school and which problem area is dealt with.
The results of the screening are then used to help pupils at risk to learn more effectively using their individual resources as part of an individual psychological counselling service.
The CoBi support system – consisting of an online screening tool and individual psychological counselling – is evaluated based on an experimental approach. Provided that it is effective, an explicit objective of the project is to widely spread the support system so that as many young people as possible can effectively be supported.
Further information on the CoBi support system are available on the .
The project is supported by the “Competence Center School Psychology Hessen”.
