  • Citation
    • Akpınara, Ezgin. “The Effect of Online Learning on Tertiary Level Students' Mental Health during the Covid19 Lockdown.” FutureAcademy.org.uk, The European Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences, 2020, www.futureacademy.org.uk/files/data/fileManager/ejsbs288.pdf.
  • summary
    • The article talked about how Covid-19 and the overall shift into online learning caused students to suffer from a worse learning environment as well as possible mental health changes that came along with the change. The article also mentioned the results from a study that was conducted by the author.
  • Author
    • The author of the article is a Teaching Assistant at the University of Amsterdam. She also has her work published by The European Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences and is thus peer-reviewed
  • Key terms
  • restrictive learning: limited opportunities for instructor and student to meaningfully communicate in various conditions.

    financially disadvantaged families: families who do not have much capital or other assents 

  • Quotes
    • “Unfortunately, students from financially disadvantaged families
      will experience challenges getting access to the internet and even the basic devices in order to participate satisfactorily in online learning”(Akpına 3304)
    • "more than 80% of students surveyed experienced psychological stress due to e-learning crack-up while a further, 26% suffered from the lack of guidance and counseling."(Akpınar 3304)
    • "Online learning does not come cheap; a laptop and
      internet connectivity are prerequisites that must be in place before online learning can proceed."(Akpınar 3305)
  • Value

    • The value the article brings is relevancy. It was published in late 2020, and as such has the most up-to-date information available from other peer-reviewed sources I have. The article also goes into detail about the specific problems online learning has, and even dwells into how poorer students will be affected by it.

Research Question and 3 Scholarly Sources

New Question  As technology has rapidly changed, it is now possible for students to be taught fully online. This new ability could have drastic differences in both the quality of education as well as unintended side effects on students. The question I will be answering is how might online college affect the academic and social life of students from those who had a more traditional in-person college education Research paperwork cited Bettinger, Eric et al.

The graph helps illustrate the percentages of people in several income brackets. I can use it to show how many students do not have internet or computer access. This will be used to point out how less affluent students tend to a larger disadvantage when it comes to e-learning. Source: https://usafacts.org/articles/internet-access-students-at-home/

A Possible topic for research paper

Image
One possible topic for a research paper would be the differences academically and socially between those who took online classes from those who had a more traditional in-person college education. I'm thinking of choosing this topic because it is very preventive in recent years as more and more students take online college. As COVID-19 stopped students from attending in-person classes, knowing the effects of online-only school would be beneficial as it could a cheaper alternative to more traditional higher education.
