Abstract

The survey examined the perceptions of well-being, well-being work, and working conditions in comprehensive schools in Central Finland during the exceptional circumstances caused by the coronavirus during the distance teaching and learning period (March 18 - May 13, 2020). It is a continuation of the FSD3611 Well-being Work and Personnel Well-being in Schools in Central Finland 2020 data. The survey was conducted as part of the Yhteistyöllä hyvinvointia kouluyhteisöön project, which is part of the Central Finland Health and Wellbeing Ecosystem (KeHO) network. The dataset also contains the open-ended responses.

First, the respondents' various concerns related to the school, pupils, and staff were surveyed. In addition, several questions were asked about the respondents' working conditions, coping, and well-being. Some of the statements were also presented in the FSD3611 data. The scales and inventories used in the data include e.g. the BBI-9 (Bergen Burnout Inventory) and the UWES-3 (Ultra-Short Measure for Work Engagement). For more information on the construction of the questionnaire, see the section Related Materials.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, work role, work experience, job description during the distance education period, and school type.
