Recently Kevin has carried out extensive research 'Sustaining Motivation and Engagement in Online Learning During School Closures' which explored the barriers faced by children and parents during online learning with the key findings being; Parents struggle with their own work/life balance when working from home and then adding home learning increases worry and anxiety, Parents often feel overwhelmed with how to support their child with learning and that children struggle to engage in the online concept of education.

Previous research by Kevin has been published in the Education Psychology in Scotland Journal (Vol 20 Autumn 2020) creating a greater understanding of 'Working on What Works' a programme designed to increase positive behaviour and engagement amongst learners who have missed a considerable period of school attendance.
