Pressure during the learning process is a common thing experienced by students. At some points, this pressure will be beneficial in increasing fighting power and motivation, but on the other hand, high-pressure conditions will affect students' mental health. This condition was also experienced when students entered the learning phase during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although several studies have revealed the effectiveness of distance learning during the pandemic, this study aims to reveal causal factors of learning pressure conditions during the pandemic such that it can trigger the emergence of academic stress. This study involved 750 students spread throughout Indonesia. Data gathering was through the use of a questionnaire with indicators developed from existing measuring tools. Data analysis using Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with Model Measurement Analysis (MMA) indicate loading, Cronbach Alpha, composite reliability, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) in fit conditions, and Structural Model testing also demonstrated valid condition and fit. The analysis shows a positive relationship between the predictors of the structural model consisting of self-expectation, despondency, grade worriness, and workload, which impact student learning pressures during the pandemic. There is an effect of workload mediation on the relationship between self-expectation and learning pressure. In reducing and controlling student learning pressures during a pandemic, it is necessary to consider these factors in learning activities.
In the course of their education, students face various mental health problems that impact the smoothness of their education. This stressful and risky situation can ideally be managed with various psychological interventions. However, the search for these psychological conditions is often not optimally carried out because of the weakness of the assessment process before counseling interventions are carried out. This study aims to develop a comprehensive measuring tool regarding the psychological condition and mental health of students named the Zadrian-Ifdil Problem Checklist (ZIPC). This study involved 638 respondents in all universities in Indonesia. To find patterns and meet the requirements for developing a good measuring instrument, the research data was processed by applying the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) Model, resulting in the distribution of factors that supported each other's constructs ṁ.
Post-pandemic conditions or also called new normal or other names that lead to the same meaning, in this condition personally, in groups, and organizations, some are adapting life processes, restarting everything that has been stopped due to the Covid-19 pandemic, direct interaction is replaced by interaction via the internet network, using a supporting platform, direct classroom learning is replaced by learning with virtual classes, ordering food through various applications, up to strict restrictions on mobility, this process occurs over a long period of time, Habits and behavior carried out by the digital native generation, has an effect on personal development academically and morally, when personally a person does routine things continuously, or is met with the same conditions many times, then indirectly a steady flow will be formed, regardless of whether it is negative or positive normally. Initiative is needed to increase motivation and learning outcomes. Initiative, independence, and responsibility in students will enable them to recognize opportunities, overcome obstacles, anticipate difficulties, and act appropriately and consistently.
