The document presents findings from a survey of English and ICE department students on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding COVID-19. It finds that students generally have good knowledge about COVID-19 symptoms and transmission but have room for improvement in maintaining social distancing and self-isolating when symptomatic. The survey used a KAP (knowledge, attitude, and practice) model to assess three areas: knowledge of COVID-19 was found to be high regarding it being a pandemic and primary symptoms; attitudes were positive regarding developing vaccines and protecting oneself; but practices needed work in terms of distancing and self-isolating when sick.

•Also known as- Novel Coronavirus/ COVID-19

8. Methodology
a) Study population-
•Cross- sectional online questionnaire survey
•Distribution of Google form link through
Facebook
•Two specific departments- English/ Information
& Communication Engineering (ICE)

9. Cont.
b) Data Collection-
•a questionnaire was developed
•respondents were informed
•Language- English
• the questionnaire was formatted into Google
Forms
•Disseminated through online platforms

10. Cont.
c) Statistical Method-
•Excel descriptive statistic data
•interpret sample data
•typically used the COUNTIF method & SUM
method to know the percentage of each part
•Graph, Scoring

11. Cont.
To analyze the response level of
the university students, we have
used the KAP (Knowledge,
Attitude & Practice) Model, an
universally recognized model

12. Cont.
The knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP)
model are used as the theoretical underpinning
for the development of the hypothesized
relationships.
