THE IMPACT OF ONLINE EDUCATION ON STUDENTS’ ANXIETY LEVELS
Main Article Content
Abstract
With the move away from conventional classrooms comes an increase in digital learning, and this research looks at how that affects students' anxiety levels. The convenience and accessibility of online platforms aren't without their drawbacks, however. Many students complain about increased stress levels brought on by too much screen time, too little human connection, unreliable internet, and the expectation that they can handle their own learning. Academic pressure, difficulties in communicating, and a lack of social support are some of the main causes of anxiety in online learning environments that this research seeks to address. Additionally, it examines the impact of students' anxiety levels on their engagement and learning results as a whole. According to the review's findings, some students thrive when they can study in the comfort of their own home, while for others, the added emotional pressure might negatively impact their performance. In order to alleviate anxiety and provide a more conducive online learning environment, the research stresses the need of supportive teaching techniques, consistent communication, and mental health treatments.
