Abstract:
One temptation of sharing the findings of the case studies related to academic stress may be to reveal both positive and negative aspects of students’ experiences. The main purpose of this case study was to examine the potential academic stress that the students were encountering during the pandemic. The investigator used the case study of five participants to bring out the challenging issues of academic stress into the limelight. The major concern was the non-availability of mobile device, smartphones, tablets, PC and laptop during their online classes’ timings. The internet connectivity issue is the most emphasized cause for not attending the online lectures. And the teachers are not flexible in taking online classes in the evening. Visually challenged students are facing impediments in the online teaching-learning process because the teachers are not sensitive to their educational needs. Those teachers who were practicing ‘inclusion’ in their teaching are not applying it in online classrooms. The students are unaware of how their online assignment submission and other academic activities are causing them to commit academic dishonesty in the form of plagiarism and collusion practices. The implications of the findings are also drawn out and discussed in this research paper.
