Abstract
Due to the current pandemic of COVID-19 which rendered many public and crowded places closed for safety measures and preventing further spreading of the mentioned disease. One of the places closed as a safety precaution is schools. And because of this, many high school students’ education is put on pause as they are encouraged to stay at home. Moreover, citizens other than students are obliged to stay at home and engage in minimal contact with the outside world. From this, we are introduced to the word quarantine which is an official term describing the act of imposing isolation on individuals or a group of individuals; consequently, most adults and parents fear that this will affect their children’s productivity especially that they are in high school and very close to transitioning to universities and adulthood. As thai highschoolers, we wanted to put this belief to the test by conducting this research which focuses mainly on assessing the effects of quarantine on thai high school students’ productivity in terms of self care, education,and contribution to others. Our goal is to disprove the assumption held by many that quarantine would lead to decrement of high school students’ productivity. Interestingly, our thesis was proven true and our thought processes and procedures will be further elaborated in this research paper.
Highlights
By the end of 2019, there came a new and deadly virus known as Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndromerelated coronavirus 2) that caused a pandemic and in turn led to governments attempting to prevent further spreading of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) via methods such as mandatory social distancing, travel restrictions, closure of schools and nonessential businesses, curfews, and quarantine
Some of the research conducted on this topic focused primarily on highschool students and had them express their thoughts regarding their own levels of productivity and distractedness brought about by working and learning at home
One of those researches, conducted by Fremd high school, summarized that the majority of students believed that there has not been a substantial change in their productivity levels while only 7.6% of the students felt that working at home caused an increment in their levels of productivity; 10.2% held an opposing viewpoint, claiming that they have been the least productive when working at home.[4]
Summary
By the end of 2019, there came a new and deadly virus known as Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndromerelated coronavirus 2) that caused a pandemic and in turn led to governments attempting to prevent further spreading of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) via methods such as mandatory social distancing, travel restrictions, closure of schools and nonessential businesses, curfews , and quarantine. The results showed that after a period of quarantine ended, subjects displayed signs of poor concentration and indecisiveness, deteriorating work performance and reluctance to work.[3] Some of the research conducted on this topic focused primarily on highschool students and had them express their thoughts regarding their own levels of productivity and distractedness brought about by working and learning at home. The purpose of this research is to determine if quarantining has made any impact in terms of productivity for highschool students and use this information to improve our lifestyle and increase productivity in the future when we are out of quarantine
