“…However, improved learning was not reported by any students who had not previously taken online classes (n = 52). These findings are in contrast with those of Aucejo et al [28], who found that the pandemic had diverse impacts on students, with similar shares reporting increased and decreased time spent learning.…”

How Will the COVID-19 Pandemic Affect the Future of Urban Life? Early Evidence from Highly-Educated Respondents in the United States

et al. 2020

Attitudes and habits are extremely resistant to change, but a disruption of the magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to bring long-term, massive societal changes. During the pandemic, people are being compelled to experience new ways of interacting, working, learning, shopping, traveling, and eating meals. Going forward, a critical question is whether these experiences will result in changed behaviors and preferences in the long term. This paper presents initial findings on the likelihood of long-term changes in telework, daily travel, restaurant patronage, and air travel based on survey data collected from adults in the United States in Spring 2020. These data suggest that a sizable fraction of the increase in telework and decreases in both business air travel and restaurant patronage are likely here to stay. As for daily travel modes, public transit may not fully recover its pre-pandemic ridership levels, but many of our respondents are planning to bike and walk more than they used to. These data reflect the responses of a sample that is higher income and more highly educated than the US population. The response of these particular groups to the COVID-19 pandemic is perhaps especially important to understand, however, because their consumption patterns give them a large influence on many sectors of the economy.

“…On top of the famed challenging life stage transitioning to adulthood, COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed lifestyle and educational landscape of students at all levels of education, with unprecedented consequences. For example, various effects have been recorded among undergraduate students at Arizona State University (USA), with systematical differences according to their socioeconomic status and health, resulting in either a decrease or increase of the time spent studying, graduation delay, job losses and job offers acceptance reduction, as well as internship interruptions [ 16 ].…”

Have Lifestyle Habits and Psychological Well-Being Changed among Adolescents and Medical Students Due to COVID-19 Lockdown in Croatia?

et al. 2020

Objective: To investigate dietary habits, sleep and psychological well-being of adolescents and medical students during COVID-19 lockdown in Split, Croatia. Methods: We surveyed 1326 students during 2018 and 2019, and compared their responses with 531 students enrolled in May 2020. Perceived stress, quality of life (QoL), happiness, anxiety, and optimism were assessed as proxies of psychological well-being, using general linear modelling. Results: We found no substantial differences in dietary pattern between pre-lockdown and lockdown periods, including the overall Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence. However, the MD pattern changed, showing increased adherence to the MD pyramid for fruit, legumes, fish, and sweets, while cereals, nuts, and dairy intake decreased during COVID-19 lockdown. A third of students reported weight loss during lockdown, 19% reported weight gain, while physical activity remained rather stable. The most prominent change was feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep, reported by 31.5% of students during lockdown vs. 8.5% before; median length of sleep duration increased by 1.5 h. Lockdown significantly affected QoL, happiness, optimism (all p < 0.001), and perceived stress in students (p = 0.005). MD adherence was positively correlated with QoL and study time, and negatively with TV and mobile phone use in pre-lockdown period (all p < 0.001). Interestingly, higher MD adherence was correlated with less perceived hardship and greater happiness and QoL during lockdown. Conclusion: These insights provide valuable information for tailored interventions aimed at maintaining healthy lifestyle in young population. Given the numerous beneficial effects associated with MD adherence, modification of lifestyle through application of lifestyle medicine deserves a priority approach.

“…The most emphasized thing on the characteristics of online learning is towards student independence and control is with students [20], for that effort related to it is important to do. However, common problems experienced in online learning today are limited infrastructure [1], [2], limited human resource capabilities [20], and low motivation [5], [6], [7], [8].…”

“…The second problem is the decline in students' mental health during the lockdown period which has an impact on the low motivation of students towards the online learning system during Covid-19 pandemic. [5], [6], [7], [8]. However, this pandemic condition cannot be avoided, therefore efforts to increase user acceptance and motivation of online learning are also important [3].…”

Learning activities during the Covid-19 pandemic were carried out with an online system even though in reality many institutions had not prepared their systems and infrastructure properly. Some e-learning media that are generally used based on survey results include 53.81% google classrooms combined with other applications that are not integrated with the institution's Learning Management System. This condition provides research opportunities to evaluate the effectiveness of online learning, especially how students are motivated to learn the method, where the results can be used as a reference in developing and refining the method. Based on many studies, that the gamification model can increase individual motivation in carrying out activities, this study uses a gamification octalysis framework to analyze the extent of the role of gamification in the learning process and measure the amount of student motivation in online learning activities. The evaluation results show that the conclusion of the Likert scale results in a "High" level, while the highest score is "Very High". As for the octalysis test scale, the average score of 6.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The conclusion from the results of this evaluation is that the motivation to learn e-learning during the Covid-19 period is quite high and has the potential to be developed. While the results of the Octalysis framework with 8 core drives are still average, for that we need innovation in E-learning which aims to increase student motivation based on Octalysis's 8 core drives. The results of this study recommend that gamification is needed to increase student learning motivation in order to improve learning outcomes.
