“…This has a similar result if there is a significantly different level between freshman and sophomore. First-year students are statistically more exhausted and cynical than sophomores and juniors [12]. Sophomores and juniors were chosen as the benchmark category because first-year students and seniors have undergone different changes.…”

Academic burnout is a well-known concept associated with students' exhaustion during academic life. This study aims to explain factors related to academic burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method adopted a systematic literature review method to conduct scientific articles indexed by Google Scholar, EBSCO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Emerald. Through the screening process, only fifteen articles meet the eligibility criteria. Research results show that university students are prone to experience academic burnout during online learning. Also, there is a different level of academic burnout suffered by students in higher education and senior high school. Some factors that affect academic burnout include work overload, unhealthy lifestyle, social media usage, etc.

“…A study by Shim and Lee [3] showed similar results, with reference to specific areas that students believe should be improved, namely network stabilization and recorded lecture sharing. On the other hand, Gonzalez-Ramirez et al [9] found out that two barriers students encountered in the context of emergency online learning were connected to Wi-Fi quality and finding a quiet space to study. Similarly, Katz, Jordan and Ognyanova [10] state that different access to high-speed internet and digital devices are associated with lower remote learning proficiency and can even lead to digital inequality.…”

In early 2020, the crisis of a new virus and a pandemic context took the world by storm. All sectors of society were affected: health, economics,… and education was no exception, with all levels suspending face-to-face classes, which were replaced by online activities. In view of this situation, several doubts and uncertainties emerged among educators, but one question stood out: how to proceed with teaching activities in the online format without compromising the commitment and engagement of the students? Within this context, the teachers involved in this study sought to adapt the activities and teaching materials to the exclusive use of technology and promoted asynchronous tasks, which could be developed independently by the students. In order to understand how the profound changes in Higher Education were experienced by students, a quantitative survey was conducted. The participants in the study are undergraduate students from a Portuguese Higher Education institution attending the curricular units of Statistical Analysis and English.

“…Despite the positive effects of school closure on reducing the spread of COVID-19, the disruption in learning and the rapid transition to online instruction have inflicted elevated stress, anger, fear, and uncertainty on students across the country. University students, in particular, faced unprecedented and unpredictable difficulties during the pandemic [5,13,14]. In response to the school closure regulations, colleges and universities across the United States abruptly terminated in-person instructions and activities and started transitioning to synchronous and/or asynchronous online learning [5,15].…”

“…University students also vastly reported psychological distress due to academic difficulties and social isolation. Students were experiencing challenges staying motivated and focused on academics, maintaining emotional well-being, feeling exhausted and generally more cynicism, and decreasing in self-efficacy [13,14,25,26]. Underrepresented minority students also held more negative attitudes towards the transition and experienced more difficulties in submitting online assignments at specific times [14].…”

“…Underrepresented minority students also held more negative attitudes towards the transition and experienced more difficulties in submitting online assignments at specific times [14]. Students reported higher anxiety and distress in general, decreased social engagement and connection with peers, professors, and the college community, lack of motivation, and decreased maintenance in healthy habits such as exercising regularly, eating healthy, and sleeping routinely [13,26,27]. Because of their already high level of psychological distress, the psychological effect of social distancing may be aggravated in university students [5].…”

COVID-19 caused unprecedented disruptions to regular university operations worldwide. Dealing with 100% virtual classrooms and suspension of essential in-person activities resulted in significant stress and anxiety for students coping with isolation, fear, and uncertainties in their academic careers. In this study, we applied a machine learning approach to identify distinct coping patterns between graduate and undergraduate students when facing these challenges. We based our study on a large proprietary dataset collected from 517 students in US professional institutions during an early peak of the pandemic. In particular, we cast our problem under the association rule mining (ARM) framework by introducing a new method to transform survey data into market basket items and customer transactions in which students’ behavioral patterns were analogous to customer purchase patterns. Our experimental results suggested that graduate and undergraduate students adopted different ways of coping that could be attributed to their different maturity levels and lifestyles. Our findings can further serve as a focus of attention (FOA) tool to facilitate customized advising or counseling to address the unique challenges associated with each group that may warrant differentiated interventions.
