The study was conducted to assess the impact of online learning on the learning status and
physical and mental health of students of all the private universities in the state of Punjab.
The coronavirus pandemic is having a huge impact on Global as well as Indian education
system because it has enforced a worldwide lockdown and millions of learners throughout the
world has stopped to move and all the educational activities stopped learning online is a need
for continuation of educational activities in all institutes around the India. To assess the
impact of online learning on students an online survey was conducted throughout all the
private universities in Punjab. A questionnaire link using Google Form was sent to the
students through watsapp and E-mail. A total of 395 students provided information through
the survey. Simple percentage distribution was used to assess the impact of online learning on
learning status and physical and mental health of students. During the lockdown period
around 65.7% students were involved in online learning. Students have faced many problems
related to device and network, contact hours with teacher, presentation and lecture delivery
etc. consistent use of online resources has also results into depression and anxiety in some
students, besides this many students have also complained about physical ailments like
watery eyes, headache, dizziness etc. the study suggests a very strong participation of the
Government so as to create a well-developed infrastructure for online studies. Strategies are
needed to take enough steps that will help in ensuring mental and physical well-being of
students.
Undergraduate Student’s Perspectives on E-learning during COVID-19 Outbreak i...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
As education moves e-learning all over the world due to COIVD-19 pandemic, students spend more time on e-learning than ever before. This is also equally applied to the Sri Lankan education system. Thus this study examines the undergraduate students’ perspectives on e-learning during the COVID-19 outbreak in universities in Sri Lanka. Primary data was obtained from undergraduate students in Sri Lankan university using a structured questionnaire via Google form. The perspectives on e-learning education during the COVID-19 pandemic was investigated using descriptive statistics and frequency analysis. The majority of the undergraduate students felt that the e-learning version of education saved travel time and cost of accommodation. Furthermore, the study revealed that the majority of students were happy with the e-learning form of education during the pandemic since it allowed them to finish their degrees faster and access the labor market without a delay. The biggest challenges with e-learning, according to the student responses, were internet access, device availability, visionary issues, technical issues, and stress. As a result of this COVID -19 pandemic, if higher education officials in Sri Lankan universities want to keep e-learning education on going, they must focus on offering cost-effective, high-speed data connections while minimizing technological hurdles. At the same time, it is important to update and revise the curriculum content according to this new mode of education since this is a completely new situation for all. There is relatively little research on students’ perspectives on e-learning education during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Sri Lankan context and it will provide some important highlights to the researchers, parent and academics as well.
A Sudden Screen Learning Student Acceptance Model (SSL)Dr. Amarjeet Singh
COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools and academic institutions all over the world to shift to remote online learning overnight. This is the longest disruption to the traditional face-to-face (physical) classroom learning ever. As the shift was unexpected, many stakeholders including teachers, administrators, parents and the students themselves have to embrace the Sudden Screen Learning (SSL) with or without sufficient resources, strategy and plans. As a result of social distancing in order to curb the spread of the pandemic, some students struggled to catch up with online learning challenges as family incomes deteriorated. This research intended to investigate the factors that push private university students to accept and adopt the sudden, remote online learning by applying the UTAUT constructs namely Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Subjective Norms (SN) and Facilitating Conditions (FC), taking into account the students’ Learning Styles as well as the moderating effect of Trusting Beliefs. The expected outcomes of the research will provide useful insights to the school administrators and regulators in understanding students’ SSL actual usage behaviour, thus, devising effective e-curriculums that will adhere to the same or even better quality of education as an assurance to the future of the younger generations.

Educating large numbers of people to a high
standard and disseminating knowledge can be considered as
the main objectives of today’s higher education sector. An
effective framework for delivery mechanism by enhancing
the functional responsibility and its effective execution will
help the nation in achieving quality and excellence in higher
education. Present paper tries to explore framework for
achieving quality and excellence in higher education by
analysing the various functional aspect of higher educational
system in the country. After extensive literature survey and
analysing the research work of eminent researchers and
thinkers, it is concluded that higher education has become
larger and more central to society and individuals; hence,
there a need to develop framework including different
functional components for performance indicator and
measurement. It is suggested that various enhancement
function should be executed primarily in systems of high
trust, whereas the accountability function has to be
developed to prevent bad quality of institutions and
programs, and thus to protect the beneficiaries i.e. students
and society. Universities need to be consciously and
explicitly managing the processes associated with the
creation of their knowledge assets and to recognise the value
of their intellectual capital to their continuing role in society
and in a wider global marketplace for higher education.
Factors Influencing Online Education during COVID-19 Pandemic: Sri Lankan Stu...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This study examines the factors influencing online education for selected Sri Lankan universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also analyses the moderate effect of gender and type of the university on online education. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire via google form from Management students in Sri Lankan selected universities. Data analysis was done through structural equations using analysis of moment structures (AMOS) version 22.0. Attitude, internet and related facilities, curriculum, and self-motivation were found to have a significant positive impact on online education, while workload & time have no significant effect on online education. Among four factors, the strongest influence was derived from self-motivation followed by the curriculum. We have not found significant differences among male and female students’ views on online education, while the impact from the type of university is different among the two categories. This study effectively guides policy makers and university administrators across the educational institutes to decide on continuing online education. It reveals some insights to the teachers, students, and parents to understand the significance of the modern online learning environment and its positive impact on the new learning mode. There is no study related to the factors associated with the impact of online education during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Sri Lankan context.

Abstract
Cyberbullying during English teaching involving Information Communication Technology (ICT) is
an exciting topic to study. Seeing how new language learners share their thoughts and feelings
through blogs as alternative learning media and how they engage in cyberbullying in their online
interactions may reveal the motives beyond cyberbullying acts. This present study used the mixed
method approach to understand the motives to tailor the anti-cyberbullying recommended
solutions. The data is extended from a 3-month preliminary study to an 18-month investigation of
711 cyberbullying comments archived in 251 blogs owned and actively used by EFL university
students at English Department of Universitas Lancang Kuning (Unilak). The analysis revealed the
major students’ motive is just to have fun (70%), followed far behind by the motive to fight back
(8%), to express upset feelings (7%), and other motives (12%). 16 students with the highest track
record of cyberbullying in their blogging activities were interviewed to discuss their motives for
cyberbullying other students whom they have known for at least more than 18 months. Results
indicate cyberbullying among language learners seems to be an act of playing with language or
linguistics wordplay. Cyberbullying seems to be a sort of language exaggeration for EFL students
who possess limited competence in English when they interact in the online network. Based on the
results, a new definition of cyberbullying was offered to accommodate the linguistic nature of
cyberbullying. Using the primary health care framework by the World Health Organization
(WHO), this present study designed a practical list of ready-made classroom activities to combat
cyberbullying in four different steps, i.e. promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative.

La COVID-19 ha irrumpido en la vida de los seres humanos causando efectos devastadores en la salud y en la vida de gran parte de la población mundial, afectando a las esferas sociales, económicas y educativas del planeta. La comunidad científica se encuentra ante uno de sus mayores retos para resolver un problema sanitariode alcance global como es la pandemia del COVID-19. Esta situación ha generado un volumen de publicaciones sin precedentes. El impacto del COVID-19 en la enseñanzaha supuesto que los momentos de contacto social hayan desaparecido a cambio de reuniones, clases, exámenes o encuentros virtuales. En este escenario, las aulas universitarias al volver a abrirse no serán las mismas, tampoco sus campus ni espacios del ámbito educativo, deberán aportan creatividad en el a la hora de organizarse y usarse. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las publicaciones científicas relacionadas con los efectos del COVID-19 en las aulas universitarias durante el período 2019 hasta la actualidad. Para esto, se realizó un análisis bibliométrico de la literatura científica. Se identificaron 676documentos sobre esta temática. Los resultados del análisis revelaron que la productividad científica se ha incrementado desde enero de 2020 con más de 650 artículos sobre la enfermedad, verificando el profundo interés por el COVID-19 en todas las disciplinas. Las principales tendencias de investigación incluyen el impacto de la vuelta a las aulas con los efectos en los procesos cognitivos, motivaciones y del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.
The present study emphasizes the global impact of the e-learning process during COVID 19. The implementation of lockdown and social distancing has been enforced as one of the preventive measures to spread the coronavirus infection which has resulted in complete paralysis of global activities. Especially the education system which is completely shut and to proceed with the academic curriculum, there is a shift from the regular learning process to electronic learning. This can be cited with an increased number of online classes, conferences, meetings, etc. It can be noted that the world is completely dependent on information technologies during this crisis. Hence, the present study provides an insight into the process of electronic learning and its advantages along with the updated version of its usage. To best of our knowledge, there have been scanty scientific reports on this particular situation of the impact of e-learning during COVID 19. The present study is a compilation of the components of e-learning tools along with the future perspective on education using information science

Abstract: Uncertain times require prompt reflexes to survive and this study is a collaborative reflex to
better understand uncertainty and navigate through it. The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic hit hard
and interrupted many dimensions of our lives, particularly education. As a response to interruption of
education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this study is a collaborative reaction that narrates the overall
view, reflections from the K12 and higher educational landscape, lessons learned and suggestions from
a total of 31 countries across the world with a representation of 62.7% of the whole world population. In
addition to the value of each case by country, the synthesis of this research suggests that the current
practices can be defined as emergency remote education and this practice is different from planned
practices such as distance education, online learning or other derivations. Above all, this study points
out how social injustice, inequity and the digital divide have been exacerbated during the pandemic and need unique and targeted measures if they are to be addressed. While there are support communities and mechanisms, parents are overburdened between regular daily/professional duties and emerging educational roles, and all parties are experiencing trauma, psychological pressure and anxiety to various
degrees, which necessitates a pedagogy of care, affection and empathy. In terms of educational
processes, the interruption of education signifies the importance of openness in education and highlights
issues that should be taken into consideration such as using alternative assessment and evaluation methods as well as concerns about surveillance, ethics, and data privacy resulting from nearly exclusive

Transforming Higher Education in the Context of Covid 19 in Indiaijtsrd
The COVID 19 pandemic led to the need to adapt to teaching methodologies, due to the impossibility of having presential classes. Therefore, online teaching and learning have played an important role in Higher Education for the last year. Another way to increase student engagement is to involve and consult student representatives, students from specific communities, to better understand specific needs and ensure that solutions offered are suitable for all and leave nobody behind. The online platforms supply an avenue where users can get up to date information on upcoming educational conferences and seminars. These platforms provide detailed information about the conference like the quality of sessions for every conference, the speakers for every session, topics for discussion for every session and the duration for every session. The COVID 19 crisis focused a move towards online teaching and learning, thereby creating space for more flexible learning possibilities, exploring blended learning, and mixing synchronous learning with asynchronous learning. The govt is providing many E Learning platforms to develop the covid 19 pandemic period. during the covid 19 pandemic situation, many students can use the E learning platform different thanks to the teaching learning process. They have progressed rapidly from classroom instruction to online distribution model to the transition between multiple classes and services. Daily and modified information should be delivered to students and workers via emails and other means of communication.

The education system is unprecedentedly disrupted by full closure of education institutes due to worldwide pandemic called Covid 19. This has shifted the physical mode of education to online mode and drastically forced the government to take proactive steps to smoothly continue the education digitally. A sudden change has potential impact on education outcome on students and their level of understanding. In the present study the concept of digital education and the role of Government of India have been analyzed. Responses collected from 448 undergraduate students in West Bengal, on the constructs of Understandability, Credibility, Convenience and Techno stress. Descriptive statistics are used and parametric tests like one way ANOVA and Pearson correlation are applied for data analysis. Demographic factors like gender, type of institution, locality and monthly family income are considered. WhatsApp is mainly used as online education medium. Online education has positive impact on all the four constructs. Gender as a demographic factor significantly influences the variation in Understandability, Credibility and Convenience of online education. Locality influences the Techno stress and the Techno stress negatively associated with other three constructs. J. K.

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPACT ON CHILDREN’S EDUCATION IN DISADVANTAGED AND RUR...ijejournal
This study used a mixed methods approach to capture key findings on COVID-19 impacts on education and
challenges that hinder continued education particularly in disadvantaged and rural areas. The respondents
were 900 parents, 943 children, 15 teachers and education officials in 594 villages in 9 provinces of
Indonesia. The results showed that 1 out of 3 children stopped learning and children learned less. Children
had limited access to widely supported online learning. While the offline method was more applicable, still
it had some challenges. Children’s mental health was affected and they experienced excessive emotions of
fear and anxiety. Many parents were not ready to support children in learning school subjects while doing
livelihood activities at the same time. Some children experienced domestic violence. Parents did not have a
spare budget to provide distance learning facilities and had to sacrifice education over basic needs. The
risk of drop out of school was heightened.
A Conceptual Analysis on How COVID 19 Has an Adverse Effect on Online Educati...ijtsrd
As we continue living in the 21st century there are extreme changes which are taking place in our country which has been evolved and molded in such a manner there has been quick changes which are experienced in our learning system where education institutes were closed to aide covid 19 virus disease where the government has been encouraging online education to achieve academic and to set the theoretical continuity. Most high ended public and private institutions have replaced classroom based education smoothly by using online platforms such as zoom, google meet, Microsoft team, google classroom etc. This study is based on the problems faced by students and educators as a result of online education. It studies whether online education is a boon or a bane. It highlights the good, bad, ugly faces of online education and its impact and consequences on the students. It also shows whether online education will exist in the long run in future or whether the traditional method of learning in classroom will continue or not. This is a qualitative study focused on the students in the age group of 16 to 35 years and the data will be collected through primary and secondary sources.

Abstract
Cyberbullying during English teaching involving Information Communication Technology (ICT) is
an exciting topic to study. Seeing how new language learners share their thoughts and feelings
through blogs as alternative learning media and how they engage in cyberbullying in their online
interactions may reveal the motives beyond cyberbullying acts. This present study used the mixed
method approach to understand the motives to tailor the anti-cyberbullying recommended
solutions. The data is extended from a 3-month preliminary study to an 18-month investigation of
711 cyberbullying comments archived in 251 blogs owned and actively used by EFL university
students at English Department of Universitas Lancang Kuning (Unilak). The analysis revealed the
major students’ motive is just to have fun (70%), followed far behind by the motive to fight back
(8%), to express upset feelings (7%), and other motives (12%). 16 students with the highest track
record of cyberbullying in their blogging activities were interviewed to discuss their motives for
cyberbullying other students whom they have known for at least more than 18 months. Results
indicate cyberbullying among language learners seems to be an act of playing with language or
linguistics wordplay. Cyberbullying seems to be a sort of language exaggeration for EFL students
who possess limited competence in English when they interact in the online network. Based on the
results, a new definition of cyberbullying was offered to accommodate the linguistic nature of
cyberbullying. Using the primary health care framework by the World Health Organization
(WHO), this present study designed a practical list of ready-made classroom activities to combat
cyberbullying in four different steps, i.e. promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative.

La COVID-19 ha irrumpido en la vida de los seres humanos causando efectos devastadores en la salud y en la vida de gran parte de la población mundial, afectando a las esferas sociales, económicas y educativas del planeta. La comunidad científica se encuentra ante uno de sus mayores retos para resolver un problema sanitariode alcance global como es la pandemia del COVID-19. Esta situación ha generado un volumen de publicaciones sin precedentes. El impacto del COVID-19 en la enseñanzaha supuesto que los momentos de contacto social hayan desaparecido a cambio de reuniones, clases, exámenes o encuentros virtuales. En este escenario, las aulas universitarias al volver a abrirse no serán las mismas, tampoco sus campus ni espacios del ámbito educativo, deberán aportan creatividad en el a la hora de organizarse y usarse. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las publicaciones científicas relacionadas con los efectos del COVID-19 en las aulas universitarias durante el período 2019 hasta la actualidad. Para esto, se realizó un análisis bibliométrico de la literatura científica. Se identificaron 676documentos sobre esta temática. Los resultados del análisis revelaron que la productividad científica se ha incrementado desde enero de 2020 con más de 650 artículos sobre la enfermedad, verificando el profundo interés por el COVID-19 en todas las disciplinas. Las principales tendencias de investigación incluyen el impacto de la vuelta a las aulas con los efectos en los procesos cognitivos, motivaciones y del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes.
The present study emphasizes the global impact of the e-learning process during COVID 19. The implementation of lockdown and social distancing has been enforced as one of the preventive measures to spread the coronavirus infection which has resulted in complete paralysis of global activities. Especially the education system which is completely shut and to proceed with the academic curriculum, there is a shift from the regular learning process to electronic learning. This can be cited with an increased number of online classes, conferences, meetings, etc. It can be noted that the world is completely dependent on information technologies during this crisis. Hence, the present study provides an insight into the process of electronic learning and its advantages along with the updated version of its usage. To best of our knowledge, there have been scanty scientific reports on this particular situation of the impact of e-learning during COVID 19. The present study is a compilation of the components of e-learning tools along with the future perspective on education using information science

Abstract: Uncertain times require prompt reflexes to survive and this study is a collaborative reflex to
better understand uncertainty and navigate through it. The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic hit hard
and interrupted many dimensions of our lives, particularly education. As a response to interruption of
education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this study is a collaborative reaction that narrates the overall
view, reflections from the K12 and higher educational landscape, lessons learned and suggestions from
a total of 31 countries across the world with a representation of 62.7% of the whole world population. In
addition to the value of each case by country, the synthesis of this research suggests that the current
practices can be defined as emergency remote education and this practice is different from planned
practices such as distance education, online learning or other derivations. Above all, this study points
out how social injustice, inequity and the digital divide have been exacerbated during the pandemic and need unique and targeted measures if they are to be addressed. While there are support communities and mechanisms, parents are overburdened between regular daily/professional duties and emerging educational roles, and all parties are experiencing trauma, psychological pressure and anxiety to various
degrees, which necessitates a pedagogy of care, affection and empathy. In terms of educational
processes, the interruption of education signifies the importance of openness in education and highlights
issues that should be taken into consideration such as using alternative assessment and evaluation methods as well as concerns about surveillance, ethics, and data privacy resulting from nearly exclusive

Transforming Higher Education in the Context of Covid 19 in Indiaijtsrd
The COVID 19 pandemic led to the need to adapt to teaching methodologies, due to the impossibility of having presential classes. Therefore, online teaching and learning have played an important role in Higher Education for the last year. Another way to increase student engagement is to involve and consult student representatives, students from specific communities, to better understand specific needs and ensure that solutions offered are suitable for all and leave nobody behind. The online platforms supply an avenue where users can get up to date information on upcoming educational conferences and seminars. These platforms provide detailed information about the conference like the quality of sessions for every conference, the speakers for every session, topics for discussion for every session and the duration for every session. The COVID 19 crisis focused a move towards online teaching and learning, thereby creating space for more flexible learning possibilities, exploring blended learning, and mixing synchronous learning with asynchronous learning. The govt is providing many E Learning platforms to develop the covid 19 pandemic period. during the covid 19 pandemic situation, many students can use the E learning platform different thanks to the teaching learning process. They have progressed rapidly from classroom instruction to online distribution model to the transition between multiple classes and services. Daily and modified information should be delivered to students and workers via emails and other means of communication.

The education system is unprecedentedly disrupted by full closure of education institutes due to worldwide pandemic called Covid 19. This has shifted the physical mode of education to online mode and drastically forced the government to take proactive steps to smoothly continue the education digitally. A sudden change has potential impact on education outcome on students and their level of understanding. In the present study the concept of digital education and the role of Government of India have been analyzed. Responses collected from 448 undergraduate students in West Bengal, on the constructs of Understandability, Credibility, Convenience and Techno stress. Descriptive statistics are used and parametric tests like one way ANOVA and Pearson correlation are applied for data analysis. Demographic factors like gender, type of institution, locality and monthly family income are considered. WhatsApp is mainly used as online education medium. Online education has positive impact on all the four constructs. Gender as a demographic factor significantly influences the variation in Understandability, Credibility and Convenience of online education. Locality influences the Techno stress and the Techno stress negatively associated with other three constructs. J. K.

The Paradigm Shift in the Indian Education System during COVID19: Impact, Opp...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge challenge to education systems. Education is the main priority direction and main development indicator in all civilized countries of the world. The COVID-19 global pandemic has upended all the education system across the world. In this time of crisis, a well-rounded and effective educational practice is what is needed for the capacity-building of young minds. It will develop skills that will drive their employability, productivity, health, and well-being in the decades to come, and ensure the overall progress of India. This research paper tries to investigate on the various impact of Covid-19 in education system especially on rural India. We also try to throw light on the different existing and new initiatives by government during the pandemic. The novel coronavirus has transformed the centuries-old, chalk–talk teaching model to one driven by technology. The last 50 years have seen huge growth worldwide in the provision of education at all levels. COVID-19 is the greatest challenge that these expanded national education systems have ever faced. Many governments have ordered institutions to cease face-to-face instruction for most of their students, requiring them to switch, almost overnight, to online teaching and virtual education. We see a drastic rise in the use of various teaching and conferencing technologies which has been explained in this paper, also various advantages and disadvantages to the students in the use of these technologies have been covered in this research paper by identifying opportunities and trends. Finally research has been concluded by providing avenues to future research and a meaningful conclusion.

transitioned from a traditional school setting to a remote virtual setting. This qualitative case study aimed
to see how communication influenced the relationship between teachers and students. This case study
provides teachers' perspectives on communication with students when pivoting from traditional schooling
to remote instruction. Participants were ten teachers within a school district in Middle Tennessee who
participated in at least one school year in a remote virtual school setting and one year in a face-to-face
traditional school setting. A semi-structured interview protocol using Zoom and Survey Monkey
questionnaires were used to gather data to determine how out-of-class communication and technology
tools affect interactions and communication between teachers and students. Qualitative data revealed that

The article investigates computer based training during the COVID 19 pandemic in South Africa's Institutions of Higher Learning, as well as assess the feasibility of Computer Based Learning in the post COVID era. The data was gathered through the use of desk top research by looking at how various South African university institutions have made CBT an important learning and teaching tool when it comes to copying with the politics that came about with lockdowns such as the closure of schools as a way to manage the spread of the pandemic. The study reveals that, the emergent appearance of the COVID 19 pandemic in South Africa, saw an increased usage of computers and mobile phones as an alternative learning tool which could eventually replace face to face learning. It is however revealed that, the success of computer based training and learning heavily relies on efficiency and reliability of computer infrastructure, reliable internet connectivity as well as knowledge of computer technology by instructors and learners. The research is however, limited to the confines and experiences of South African educators and learners and concludes by giving recommendations on how these challenges can be solved.

COVID-19 Outbreak on Environment: Profile of Islamic University Students in H...Md. Mehadi Rahman
COVID-19 harms the implementation of learning at
various levels, including at Islamic universities. Students at Islamic universities must use e-learning for several months until the COVID-19 outbreak ends. Students are also required to have Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to solve problems. They are also required to have Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) related to COVID-19. Previous research has developed a Higher-Order Thinking Skills Assessment based on Environmental Problem (HOTS-AEP). The purpose of this research was to describe an implementation of elearning, HOTS, and PEB on students during the COVID-19 outbreak. The method used was descriptive through the survey technique. This research was conducted in March 2020. The
instruments used were questionnaires on e-learning and HOTS-AEP related to COVID-19 (HOTS-AEP-COVID-19). Meanwhile, to measure PEB, PEB-COVID-19 was used. All instruments were constructed using Google Form and were distributed to 137 respondents via social media. The results showed that the implementation of e-learning was generally effective (27.74%) and quite effective (43.07%) even though some problems were encountered. Other results showed that students’ HOTS were in the poor category (26.20) while the PEB was in the excellent category (84.82). it can be concluded that e-learning during the COVID 19outbreak has gone well although some innovations are needed. Besides that, HOTS needs to be improved while PEB needs to be maintained.

Stress, Satisfaction, and Academic Performance in Online Learning among Sopho...Ryan Michael Oducado
This descriptive-correlational determined the undergraduate nursing students’ stress, satisfaction, and academic performance in online learning during COVID-19 pandemic. The research participants were the 108 second-year undergraduate nursing students from one nursing school in the Philippines. The data were collected using a web-based survey questionnaire and then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation. The results revealed that the undergraduate nursing students considered having online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak to be stressful (44.4%) and very stressful (47.2%). Moreover, the undergraduate nursing students had low satisfaction (37%) and moderate satisfaction (46.3%) having the online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak. The undergraduate nursing students’ academic performance were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulted in poor (37%) to fair (50%) academic performance and were considerably (43.6%) and greatly (30.6%) affected by the pandemic. Online learning stress had a significant and inverse correlation with online learning satisfaction (rs=-.370, p=.000) and academic performance (rs=-.240, p=.012). Stress negatively impacts the undergraduate nursing students’ satisfaction and academic performance. This research suggests that certain measures should be performed to reduce stress and improve the online teaching–learning processes during the COVID-19 outbreak.
INTERNATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENC...ijejournal
The Coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19) is hastily spreading, bringing pressure and challenges to international students and educators in a higher education institution who were locked down on campus during the COVID-19 outbreak. We sought to explore psychological experiences of international higher education students and educators during the COVID-19 pandemic in Eswatini. A qualitative phenomenological design was adopted. Participants were 20 conveniently selected international higher education students and educators who were locked down on campus from March 20 to September 25, 2020. The interviews were conducted face to face. Data were thematically analysed. The study was informed by the ecological systems theory. The psychological experiences of international higher education students and educators during COVID-19 pandemic were categorized in to four themes. First negative emotions present in early stages involving discomfort, anxiety and helplessness caused by isolation, fear and concern for safety. Second self-coping strategies included psychological and life adjustments, social distancing, acceptance of wearing of masks, hand sanitizing and online/blended learning. Third we reported growth under the crisis which included affection for family members, peers and self-reflection. Finally, we reported that positive emotions occurred concurrently with negative emotions. During the COVID-19 crisis positive and negative emotions of international higher education students and educators intertwined and co-occurred. Self-coping strategies and psychological growth played a crucial role in maintaining mental health of the students and educators. The international students and educators in a higher education institution appeared to be thriving in coping with the COVID19 crisis and lockdown situation which enhanced their participation in online/blended learning.
This research is based on the problem of the outbreak of the coronavirus
which has become a global pandemic and a national disaster. The purpose of
this study was to describe the perceptions of lecturers and students on online
learning problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected
with the help of questionnaires. This quantitative descriptive study was
conducted among lectures and students who selectedd randomly. Data
analysis used a Likert scale and the results of perceptions used descriptive
analysis. The results of the study show that the perceptions of lecturers and
students on online learning problems during the pandemic consisted of six
aspects (lecture plans, online lecture activities, online lecture recording and
evaluation, lecture assistance services, and lecture support facilities).
Furthermore, it can be agreed that effective online learning occurs due to the
interaction of students and lecturers as well as technology connected
to education.

Using the fixed effect model and the time-varying difference-in-difference model, we examine how left-behind experiences affect children’s educational choices and identities. We find that leftbehind children have an approximately 2% higher probability to drop out of school. They tend to report lower levels of education expectations and education expenditures. The negative effect of left-behind experiences on education outcomes is significant, particularly among middle-school students. Despite improved living conditions, these findings suggest that left-behind experiences have hindered many children from enjoying educational success

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Abstract
The study was conducted to assess the impact of online learning on the learning status and
physical and mental health of students of all the private universities in the state of Punjab.
The coronavirus pandemic is having a huge impact on Global as well as Indian education
system because it has enforced a worldwide lockdown and millions of learners throughout the
world has stopped to move and all the educational activities stopped learning online is a need
for continuation of educational activities in all institutes around the India. To assess the
impact of online learning on students an online survey was conducted throughout all the
private universities in Punjab. A questionnaire link using Google Form was sent to the
students through watsapp and E-mail. A total of 395 students provided information through
the survey. Simple percentage distribution was used to assess the impact of online learning on
learning status and physical and mental health of students. During the lockdown period
around 65.7% students were involved in online learning. Students have faced many problems
related to device and network, contact hours with teacher, presentation and lecture delivery
etc. consistent use of online resources has also results into depression and anxiety in some
students, besides this many students have also complained about physical ailments like
watery eyes, headache, dizziness etc. the study suggests a very strong participation of the
Government so as to create a well-developed infrastructure for online studies. Strategies are
needed to take enough steps that will help in ensuring mental and physical well-being of
students.

2. 1. INTRODUCTION
‘‘Never before have we witnessed educational disruption on such a large scale’’
Audrey Azoulay (2020).
The Novel Coronavirus first appeared in late December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China. The
first outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan spread quickly, impacting parts of China. World
Health Organization suggested the official name of the virus as COVID-19 and declared
COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11th, 2020 (WHO, 2020).
The coronavirus pandemic is having a huge impact on Global as well as Indian education
system. Indian government began making decisions to protect Students from COVID-19
soon. However, as a result of the decisions taken by our Governments to close educational
institutions, schools and colleges throughout India, it announced the cancellation or
rescheduling of their exam dates (Jena, 2020). So, this disease could make a significant
difference in the field of traditional education in terms of the use of technology as a learning
tool (Babu and Ramaswamy, 2020). It is a tough call to send students back to schools,
colleges, universities and other educational institutions (Gupta, 2020). Graduation classes,
resorting to various online platforms, have been established in many institutions (Khullar,
2020). Online classes have become a major means of delivering not only private but also to
government institutions (Jha, 2020). The teachers teach and assign work to students via
presenting video conference presentations using different apps (Sen, 2020).
The current study is focusing on the change in the behavior of Generation-Z because of E-
learning which is a new normal due to the pandemic Covid-19. Generation Z (or Gen Z for
short) is widely recognized as having been born between 1996 and 2015. Generation Z
possesses the characteristics of more tolerance and responsibility and they are also more
socially aware and is also known to be digital natives and tech-reliant (Seemiller, 2017).
(Hampton et al., 2016) also highlighted that Generation Z students are the first who are born
in the world where technology is used more. In the research done by the (Cilliers, 2017)
which highlights that the Generation Z is more inclined towards the Visual forms of learning
and replacing communication with interaction. There is an increase in spending time on
internet by Gen -Z and this change in behavior will start affecting their health (Gupta, 2020).
Throughout the world the campuses are closed and teaching and learning has gone online
(Jena, 2020). The students from India, who went to USA or Europe to pursue their higher

3. education, will now target top Indian Institutions like BITS, Jindal, and Ashoka etc. (Saxena,
2020).
Clearly the pandemic has impacted the generation Z and led them to rethink their plans for
what to do when they graduate from high school (Delgado, 2020). Generation Z is more tech-
savvy education however is the main pain point for this generation (Veltheim, 2020). With
the unpredictability about the return to real time schooling, the long-term concerns are
growing (Clay, 2020). This resistant generation will have to make difficult decisions like
taking a gap year before college or going to a community college instead of attending their
dream institution (Mull, 2020).
Pandemic has restricted movement of people and generation Z is no exception to it. This can
lead to frustration and boredom and also the feelings of sadness, anxiety, confusion, anger,
uncertainty and stress (Ahuja, Davis 2020). Excess screen time creates attention deficit, and
extreme mood swings in children, which in turn disturbs learning capabilities (Rana, 2020).
Escalating aggressive behavior can also be a sign of screen time addiction in kids (Lorenz,
2019).
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In view of the emerging academic profile of the Gen Z (Seemiller et.al, 2016) in their study
found them to be loyal, thoughtful, compassionate, open-minded, and responsible. The Gen Z
students often referred to as digital natives (Dauksevicuite et.al, 2016) is the first generation
to be born in a globally connected world wherein they live and breathe technology. In year
2020 the world got affected by the COVID -19 pandemic which changed the face of world.
According to (Khalili, 2020) online education is becoming the new normal in academia, but
it is a development that might cause a conundrum to some. A major portion of students has
started using different platforms for online learning, but still majority of them are facing
obstacles in E-learning reveals a research done in West Bengal (Kapasia et.al, 2020). In the
context of COVID-19 if the pandemic stretches it is important to make some efforts in the
direction of improving online platforms (Jena, 2020). There are issues with technology
access and use as well (Livari et.al, 2020). (Gonzalez, 2020) highlights in the study a
positive effect of COVID-19 confinement on students. It was also further highlighted by
(Raju, 2020) that the online education is not a substitute it is only a support to classroom
teaching and other methodologies. With respect to the state of Punjab the number of
undergraduate and postgraduate students in Punjab is increasing slightly and it’s affecting

4. education very drastically as real time learning is stopped now for some time(Mohapatra,
2020). Proper infrastructural facilities should be provided to the educational institutions that
can regulate the digital learning process (Kapasiya et.al, 2020). (Sapkota, 2020) highlights
that there are some prerequisites of E-Learning like internet and smartphone because of the
lack of these resources there is a decrease in the level of motivation and participation.
Government has launched various e-learning platforms to provide uninterrupted Learning
(Jena, 2020). (Sashikala and Yarriswamy, 2020) concluded that the lockdown has
significantly impacted the learning status of students in a negative way. Similarly, (Jena,
2020) concluded that students learning is greatly impacted because of lockdown and
government should explore more and more digital technologies to cope up with the current
crises. In India, when we are not even ready for this crisis, the sudden shift without planning
in Online learning has created students to become a passive learner because the changing
format (Indiatoday, 2020). As per a report by (Tamanna, 2020) some subjects like Math,
Practical subject etc. requires practical exposure and one-on-one interaction with students, so
it becomes very difficult for students to understand, that can be achieved by practical
exposure. (Hyseni and Hoxha, 2020) shows that the lockdown has affected student academic
performance with both positive and negative aspects using factors related to family,
environment, concentration and lack of attention during e-classes. (Sashikala et.al, 2020),
Their study shows that students find it difficult to pay attention in e-classes, but on the other
hand they found that e-learning is great opportunity for them to draw attention from this
pandemic and to adapt with technologies at higher level. Though the actual performance and
quality of education is yet to be determined (Rajhans et.al, 2020) through variables like
participation in class, assessments in online environment and online teaching tool. (Sahu,
2020) noted that shifting from real to online classes is going to be challenging for the students
and it will also be difficult for few faculties to cope up with digital mode of learning.
Talking about the health, in one study conducted by (Zheng .et.al, 2016) in Beijing wherein
the 14 variables were considered for physical health, it was found that most common
complaints were dry eyes, declining eyesight and cervical pain succeeded by skin worse,
headache, lumbar pain, decreased sleep quality, decreased anti-fatigue capability and hair
greasy, then weight gain, fingers numbness, hair loss, wrist pain. In a similar study conducted
by (Halupa, 2016) in USA found that the use of online platforms is one of the factors
resulting to increased weight and obesity. In yet another study conducted by (Hellström,
2013) it was concluded that consistent periods of screen related activities lead to sustained

5. muscle tension and lack of recovery. In India many doctors have stated that lack of right
posture during online classes can result in extreme pain in back, shoulders and neck muscles
caused due to straining for long periods of time (Mehdi, 2020). Further it has been found that
over use of screens has resulted in blocking the neurological transmissions in the brain
affecting the physical nourishment of the children (Ali, 2020). Over use of technology has
resulted in failure of children to reach growth standards and decreased motor development
and decreased sensory stimulation (Halupa, 2016). Increased screen time also results in
stress, tingling sensations, headaches, muscle fatigue, eye problems and decreased
performance because of wrong posture (Mehdi, Singh, 2020).
Along with physical health, students have also started facing mental health issues (Thomee
.et .al, 2011) found in the study that there is a negative effect on mental health because of the
overuse of mobile phones. (Akashe .et. al, 2014) found that interpersonal sensitivity,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depressive disorder as a result of the behavior of mobile
phone addiction. (Rehman .et .al, 2020) found in their study that students and researchers
have a moderate level of anxiety.

13. 6. CONCLUDING REMARK
The lockdown due to the pandemic has caused unprecedented academic disruptions. The
present study assessed the impact of the online learning on the learning status and physical
and mental health of the UG and PG students of all the private universities in the state of
Punjab. Almost all the universities resorted to online classes and majority of students have
been taking online classes. But most of the students have expressed their dissatisfaction
towards the online learning. Besides this majority of the students have reported various kinds
of physical and mental health issues caused due to the online classes and continuous
detachment from their social circles. Our study has suggested the following recommendations
to the government authorities, policy makers and the universities:
• A uniform plan for all the universities is the need of the hour especially during the
events like the ongoing pandemic.
• Government needs to invest more in the area of digitizing the education, so that all the
students are able to assess the online studies equally.
• The necessary training should be provided to the teachers so that they are well
equipped to deal with any kind of unexpected event. More tech savvy teachers are the
need of the hour.
• An open source of digital learning should be made available to all the students, so that
all students are able to afford online learning.
• Well thought strategies need to be formulated to build a strong education system that
can withstand any unprecedented event like the ongoing pandemic.
• The loopholes in the education system especially in the area of infrastructure should
be looked into and a timely action can really work wonders.

14. 7. IMPLICATIONS
The study has tried to find out the impact of online learning due to COVID-19 on the learning
status, physical and mental health of students. On analyzing the data that was collected with
the help of questionnaire it was discovered that students are not satisfied with the online
classes. Moreover, they are also facing some physical and mental ailments due to online
classes. An effective online learning depends on the course content, its design and interaction
between a student and teacher. The findings from the research suggest that a well-developed
digital infrastructure in the education sector is the need of the hour and policy framework that
can inculcate the digital acumen in the teachers is required. The education system needs to be
designed in such a manner so that the unnecessary pressure on the minds of students can be
removed. The new educational policy is a step towards better and insightful teaching and
learning practices. There needs to be a uniform educational policy governing all the colleges
and universities throughout the country so that all students are on a level playing field. Lastly
a lot of work needs to be done in the education sector in order to deal with uncertainties like
the one that we are facing at this point in time so that the negative impact on teaching and
learning can be reduced.
