The purpose of this paper is to understand how high education students perceived distance learning during Covid-19 and whether stress and career-related anxiety impacted their perception. Data are collected from a survey of 1592 students from various Italian Universities and analysed using exploratory factor analysis and partial least squares-based structural equation modelling. The results show a concomitant relationship between student stress and future career anxiety. Besides, anxiety for future career and stress due to fear of contagion do not have a negative impact on distance learning perception of the students. In contrast, a negative relationship is found when considering the effect of stress in relationships and academic life.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand how high education students perceived distance learning during Covid-19 and whether stress and career-related anxiety impacted their perception. Data are collected from a survey of 1592 students from various Italian Universities and analysed using exploratory factor analysis and partial least squares-based structural equation modelling. The results show a concomitant relationship between student stress and future career anxiety. Besides, anxiety for future career and stress due to fear of contagion do not have a negative impact on distance learning perception of the students. In contrast, a negative relationship is found when considering the effect of stress in relationships and academic life.
