CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
teenagers and young adults are among those who may be most affected. The COVID-
19 pandemic drove many schools to cancel face to face classes and now, many schools
and colleges continue to rely on virtual learning to keep students and teachers safe.
While the safety of students and teachers is of the utmost importance, online learning
can have an impact on the mental health of the students. We explain how online
learning impacts students' mental health, along with ways parents can help their teens
Online classes affect everyone from young children to young adults, teachers,
and professors. For several students, virtual classes may worsen existing mental state
disorders. For others, the impact of online learning can trigger new changes in their
psychological state and mood. With online classes, students may experience
As education adapts to teaching and learning at a distance, the workload and the
learning load of adopting a new delivery mode is taking a huge charge on the lives of
those in education. This is an immense downside that is growing rapidly. While there
are some students who are thriving through online classes, the impact of the virus,
isolation, increased workloads and other associated effects are rising among many
students. The radical change in lifestyle can feed loneliness, anxiety and even lead to
3
depression. Anxiety and stress can lower immunity, subjecting students to illness
(Schroeder, 2020).
Technology does not only impact academics but also the student’s health
(University of Minnesota, 2007). Screen time such as browsing online has been
associated with a more inactive lifestyle (Wang, et.al, 2012). Even though online
websites make it easier for students to access education, it potentially leads them to an
inactive lifestyle and related health issues. Spending more time on the computer
presents a major risk to student’s mental health, resulting in a trend away from active
leisure pursuits and recreational sports and leading them towards inactive entertainment
such as television, video games, and computers (University of Minnesota, 2007; Wang
et al., 2012).
Students who have better health are more likely to finish their studies, but it is
unclear whether time on the computer has a negative impact on mental health. We
know that inactive behavior is the number two risk factor for a variety of diseases and
general health. Therefore, the effect of online classes on the student’s mental health
needs to be examined. Thus, this study can help the schools by adopting the framework

Statement of the Problem
This study will determine the relationship between virtual learning fatigues and
increased of stress and anxiety of the students. More specifically, it will answer the
following questions:
1. What are the effects of virtual learning fatigue in terms of the students:
1.2 Behavioral
2.1 resistances
2.3 burnout
5
4. Does virtual learning fatigue significantly predict the reason for increased stress and
anxiety of students? Hypothesis the hypothesis below will be tested at .05 level of
significance:
Hypothesis
2. Virtual learning does not significantly predict the reason for increased stress and
anxiety of students.
Theoretical Framework
intended to clarify and assist us with seeing how individuals learn; be that as it may, the
writing is unpredictable and broad enough to fill whole segments of a library. It includes
additional discussion. Notice will likewise be made of a few other learning speculations
analyzes how students carry on while learning. Significant figures related with
behaviourism are B.F. Skinner and Edward Thorndike. Skinner is especially notable,
basically on the grounds that he acquainted what he alluded with as operant molding

scholars, including Lev Vygotsky, John Dewey, and Jean Piaget. Their emphasis on
friendly constructionism was to portray and clarify educating and learning as perplexing
intuitive social wonders among educators and understudies. Similarly, John Dewey

On the other hand the mediating variable is the risk management practices. Moreover,
the dependent variable is the work performance which measured three dimensions,
In the leadership styles, the laissez-faire is a type of leadership which leaders are
hands-off and allow group members to make the decisions. Transformational leadership
refers to a style of leadership where a leader works with subordinates to identify needed
change, creating a vision to guide the change through inspiration, and executing the
change in tandem with committed members of a group. On the other hand, is a style of
leadership in which leaders promote compliance by followers through both rewards and
punishments.
effectiveness with which job incumbents perform activities that contribute to the
network and the psychological climate that supports technical tasks. Counterproductive
work performance is an employee behavior that goes against the legitimate interests of
an organization.
