 Abstract

The researchers conducted this study to determine if and how Covid-19 affected

their academic performance. During the pandemic, students had to make changes to

their learning methods. We are to stay in our homes because Covid-19 was a deadly

virus, as a result, some were prone to laziness, which affected their academic

performance. They get to use their gadgets 24/7 while staying home, which can distract

them from their studies. The significance of this research is to learn and assist students

in determining how they can prevent Covid-19 from affecting the academic performance

of grade 9 students. One way to achieve this goal is to focus on and be motivated by

your studies. Demonstrate your interest in studying and have self-discipline in your

academics about your personal life.

We Researchers discovered that different types of distractions affect students

and their academic performances. Knowing how to balance their personal life with their

studies can assist them in maintaining high academic performance. You must avoid

distractions to maintain good academic performance. Attending online classes and

participating in school activities is significant, but don’t forget to have fun. Motivate

yourself to achieve high grades to make your parents and yourself proud. Consider

what will best help you step up. Look for your weaknesses and attempt to find ways to

overcome them to be healthy. The best thing to do is balance your personal life with

your academics. Use your dreams as motivation for why you are studying, and put

things in place that will help you achieve good academic performance.
