Students’ Challenges. Students have gotten lazier in online class settings than in
face-to-face situations, making it more difficult to focus due to distractions and temptations. The
respondents all had similar problems, such as having trouble concentrating. According to Meşe
and Sevilen (2021), the study discovered that participants' extrinsic and intrinsic motivation was
lower in online education than face-to-face education. The researchers attributed this to a loss of
connection with peers and professors. According to Sanchez (2021), most students are stressed
and demotivated due to the many tasks they receive each day. According to Agbejule et al.
(2021), the biggest impediments to online learning were instructional problems followed by a
lack of social connection.
How struggles affect the students
Given the significance of respondents' obstacles in their studies, this section will look at the link
between students' challenges, their performance, and their impact on their academic results. The
correlation between the students’ performance is presented in Table 2.
Coping methods. Because of the obstacles and challenges that the students endure, they
have developed their tactics and coping methods to overcome the problems they confront.
Coping mechanisms are the tactics that humans frequently employ in response to stress and
trauma. Coping mechanisms are the tactics that people frequently employ amid stress or trauma
to help them cope with painful or challenging emotions. Coping techniques can assist people in
adjusting to difficult experiences while maintaining their emotional well-being: GoodTherapy,
n.d. Learning good coping skills is critical because it teaches us how to deal with adversity and
makes us more resilient. So, whatever problems arise in the future, we have the strength and will
to persevere (Kentucky counseling center, 2021).
Benefits of coping. Coping helps the student to reduce the stress, anxiety, and problems
they are feeling or facing. Coping skills help you tolerate, minimize, and deal with stressful
situations in life. Managing your stress well can help you feel better physically and
psychologically and it can impact your ability to perform your best (Baton Rouge Behavioral
Hospital, n.d.).Coping skills help you process and deal with life stressors, struggles and emotions.
They help balance your overall mental health. (Sunny sky counseling. According to the
University of Tolido (n.d.) Coping skills will help an individual to address and be proactive in
handling the situation. Coping skills can be different from person to person. They can help you
identify ways to minimize your stress and develop nutrition and exercise plans to maintain your
health as you handle your other obligations. Through coping strategies and good self-care, you
can manage your stress healthfully and avoid long-term problems (Scott, 2021).
