ObjectivesChildren born preterm are at higher risk for special educational needs and poor academic attainment compared with term-born peers, yet education professionals receive limited training and have poor knowledge of preterm birth. We have developed an interactive e-learning resource and evaluated its efficacy in improving teachers’ knowledge of preterm birth and their confidence in supporting the learning of children born preterm.SettingEight primary, infant or junior schools in England.Participants61 teachers of children aged 4–11 years, of which 55 (90%) were female.InterventionInteractive e-learning resource designed to improve education professionals’ knowledge of long-term outcomes following preterm birth and strategies that can be used to support children’s learning (www.pretermbirth.info). In a repeated measures design, participants were given up to 30 days access to the e-learning resource, before and after which they completed the Preterm Birth Knowledge Scale (PB-KS; scores 0–33; higher scores indicate greater knowledge) to assess knowledge of outcomes of prematurity. Four Likert scale items were used to assess confidence in supporting children’s learning and 10 items were used to evaluate the utility of the resource. PB-KS scores and responses on confidence item were compared pre-resource and post-resource use.ResultsPB-KS scores significantly increased after accessing the e-learning resource (median (95% CI): pre-resource 13 (11 to 14); post-resource 29 (28 to 30)), equating to a 2.6 SD increase in PB-KS scores. Teachers’ confidence in supporting children born preterm was also significantly improved after using the resource. The utility of the resource was evaluated positively by participants with 97% reporting that they would recommend its use to others.ConclusionsThe e-learning resource substantially improved teachers’ knowledge of preterm birth and their confidence in supporting preterm children in the classroom. Use of this resource may represent a key advance in improving educational outcomes for children born preterm.

The data was collected by means of interview techniques, observation and documentation study. Data analysis through data presentation techniques and drawing conclusions. Test the validity of the data using tringulation and methods. The results showed that online-based learning at the Private SD Yaspenhan-1 Medan Marelan made effective online-based learning media such as what app, e-learning, Google Class Room, zoom and other applications. The role of parents in online-based learning is very significant to improve learning outcomes. This role is in the form of supervision of children's learning activities at home. Without supervision, it will be difficult to maximize children's learning outcomes.
