Abstract

The psychological impact of the pandemic is a focus that cannot be ignored. Significant changes in the Covid-19 pandemic, of course, also impact the world of education. This, of course, has an impact on the students. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed everything that could previously be done face-to-face into online learning. Mobility had to be reduced; students are asked to be more independent and must be able to adapt quickly to online learning methods. These changes cause many psychological impacts that arise, ranging from  positive, negative, and behavioral changes. This study provides an overview of the psychological impact of students on learning during the pandemic. Views about the gender of students, whether it has an impact on the psychological impact, are also considered in this study. The data used is questionnaire data to students who experience online learning methods. The results of the study show that there is a change in behavior during the Covid- 19 pandemic.
