Examining the Remote Learning Experiences of Children Born Very Preterm During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study examined the remote learning activities children born very preterm (VPT; gestational age ≤ 30 weeks) received, compared with children born full term (FT; gestational age ≥ 37 weeks), during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents of 5- to 6-year-olds born VPT ( n = 33) and FT ( n = 33) reported on the provision, frequency, and duration of teacher-provided live instruction, educational materials, and homework; and parent-provided educational materials. More kindergarten children born VPT received small group instruction and fewer received large group instruction than FT children. Preschoolers born VPT engaged in parent-provided learning apps, educational videos, and reading activities less frequently or for shorter durations than FT children. Findings suggest that while teachers generally implemented remote learning similarly for children born VPT and FT, parents did not. Children born VPT are at higher risk for educational problems and may benefit from more intensive school- and home-based educational interventions to help offset the impact of school closures.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
