The pandemic has caused numerous changes in the world. Education is one of the areas that has been largely unaffected by the pandemic. There are changes in the learning mode, competencies, curriculum, and even the students’ and teachers’ attitudes and behaviors. The current study is concerned with the students’ post-pandemic behavior. Since they have been out of school for several months due to the pandemic, their behavior has undoubtedly changed. Hence, it is essential to determine students’ behavior after the pandemic.
Figure 1
Causal Model
Figure 1 reveals that a student’s social, emotional, and behavioral challenges may be affected by the period they spent learning at home, the mode of learning, and family support. However, there might be changes in the result if a student’s gender is considered. In one study by Baros and Scau-Fontenla (2021), the authors noted that gender significantly affects the student’s capacity for “mental health symptoms, emotional intelligence, and social support.” However, despite these findings, the study did not focus on the positive effects of family support in dealing with these challenges. Hence, the researchers assume that there is a direct relation between social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, the period they spent learning at home, the mode of learning, and family support.
To test the hypothesis, the researchers adopt a survey tool from Peixoto et al. (2015) that can measure the student’s emotions, which will help the researchers determine their behavioral, emotional, and social challenges. The questionnaire is divided into two sections. The first section includes eight questions that students can answer on a scale. The second section includes two open-ended questions. The open-ended questions are intended to elicit the student’s perspective on the change of returning to school. The researcher has modified some parts of the survey to ensure that the researchers obtain the necessary information and results. The researchers chose the essential statements that can elicit specific answers. Precisely, the survey can determine the students’ behavior towards education.
In conclusion, the researchers devised a survey to ascertain student behavior changes following the pandemic. There have been several changes, including the learning mode, and they must make several adjustments. As a re...
