Impact of Covid-19 on Learning, Behavior and Habits of School Going Children

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on the learning and behavior of school-going children. The pandemic has disrupted traditional in-person learning, leading to an increase in remote and hybrid learning. This has resulted in challenges for both teachers and students. These factors have impacted their overall well-being. This research has been done in this context to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the learning, behavior, and habits of school-going children. The study included 272 teachers who are mentoring more than 12000 students at Navy Children School from 8 different states of India. The result reveals the consequences of the erratic situation aroused by the pandemic. This study explains that a considerable number of children got affected by the circumstances evoked by COVID-19 in terms of change in behavioral patterns, irregular habits and learning gaps.
