ABSTRACT: In 2019, the wide COVID-19 outbreak had noxiously
compelled the global educational institutes to experience the
irrefutable impacts of the pandemic on students’ academic performance. The
destructing COVID-19 emergencies have
colossally elevated the concerns of individuals regarding the students’ perspective. The compounding outbreak
challenges have made the global institutes alter the learning trends, thus
inevitably impeding the students’ learning performance. This abrupt
situation has encouraged the institutes to embrace e-learning protocols, ultimately recording a severe toll on students’
social and psychological well-being.
In this regard, this empirical paper help to understand that the entire
COVID-19 teaching has profoundly changed the learning environment, thereby bringing the
unprecedented influence of COVID-19 fear,
digital inaccessibility, teaching capability, psychological well-being, and work-life conflict to influence the students’
performance. Considerably, this abrupt shift from conventional pedagogy to
digital learning demands that institutions should restore the global
educational standards to enhance student learning
performance. However, in owning to such factors of increasing vulnerabilities, a positive government attitude is
needed to overcome the gap existing due to the online shift in conventional
learning. Significantly, the paper suggests that academicians and practitioners
should redefine their educational
definitions, substantially making these novel technologies combat the
emerging learning challenges.
