Students’ Perception to Online Distance Learning (ODL) and Socio-Emotional Skills During Covid-19 Pandemic

According to Rodriguez-Hidalgo, Pantaleon, Dios, and Falla 2020, students faced stricter lockdown measures and fewer coping resources leading them to be more susceptible to stress and anxiety. According to Price and Duman 2020, chronic stress, anxiety, and unregulated emotion disrupt the neuroplasticity in the brain, which is essential for learning. According to Hefner and Eisenberg 2009, a learner with low perceived quality of support has a greater probability of experiencing difficulties in mental health. According to Buckley and Lee 2018, the extent of involvement of students in their respective curricular and extracurricular activities are good indicators of their psychological well-being and distress.
