Abstract

Changes from the mode of learning in person to learning online due to the global pandemic have brought up tremendous difficulties for both teachers and students. Changes disrupt previous learning routines developed under the mode of face-to-face learning, thus creating uncertainties. Previous research demonstrated that uncertainty is positively related to stress. The rise of uncertainties amidst the new changes will be likely to lead to a higher stress level. Previous research showed that stress levels correlate with students’ academic performance negatively. Thus, this study investigated mediated role of stress on the relationship of uncertainty and students’ academic performance during the pandemic. The mediation analysis results showed that the indirect effect of uncertainty on academic performance through stress is significant.
