The Stress Impact of Online Teaching on British Students Due to COVID-19

Introduction

COVID-19 has some stress impacts of online teaching on British students. In Britain, the COVID-19 pandemic has massively led to extraordinary challenges in the education sector. Students have been experiencing pressure regarding performance and emotional challenges due to a lack of emotional support from families and parents (Hartshorn & McMurry, 2020). Many schools in Britain were temporarily closed with the aim of containing the massive spread of the coronavirus and reducing the rate of infections. The move to adopt online teaching or learning methods significantly accelerated as a result of the physical closure of various universities and colleges. However, the adoption of online learning and teaching has mentally and emotionally affected British students (Toto & Limone, 2021). The reason is that most British students have been complaining of stress due to the reduced level of motivation when it comes to learning, pressure to perform, lack of emotional support from parents and families, as well as low learning outcomes. This paper aims to explore and analyze the stress impact of online teaching on British students due to covid-19.
