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.

All schools that participated in the Well-being Work and Personnel Well-being in Schools in Central Finland 2020 survey (FSD3611) conducted in January 2020 were invited to participate in the survey (48 schools). First, municipalities were contacted to ensure research permission to participate in the survey, after which principals were contacted by phone or email to inquire about the possibility of participating. A survey link was sent to the headmasters of all schools, through which the survey was forwarded to the staff. Responses were received from 10 municipalities and 27 schools.

Completeness of Data and Restrictions

To prevent identification of respondents, the research team has removed detailed background variables or open-ended variables (municipality, school number and job description) and categorised variables on school type, gender and role. The research team has also anonymised the open-ended variables included in the data.

To prevent identification of respondents, FSD has made one additional extraction from the open-ended response.

Weighting

There are no weight variables in the data.
