Abstract
CASTILLO RIQUELME, Víctor; CABEZAS MAUREIRA, Nicolás; VERA NAVARRO, Constanza and TOLEDO PUENTE, Constanza. Anxiety to online learning: relationship with attitude, gender, environment, and mental health in university students. Rev. Digit. Invest. Docencia Univ. [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.1, e1284. ISSN 2223-2516. http://dx.doi.org/10.19083/ridu.2021.1284.
Introduction:
The educational institution is one of the sectors that has suffered the most from the effects of the spread of Covid-19.
Objective:
This research aimed to characterize online learning anxiety through the eponymous dimension of the Online Learning Strategies Scale in a sample of university students (n = 192) and to examine its determinants.
Methods:
The study was quantitative, non-experimental and cross-sectional.
Results:
A regression model was used to explain 30% of the variability in online learning anxiety. Online learning anxiety was found to be negatively related to attitudes towards online classes, self-perceived mental health and quality of connectivity. Females reported higher anxiety than males.
Conclusion:
The article closes with recommendations for university policies and suggestions for further studies.
Keywords : mental health; psychological effects; higher education; long distance education; learn online.
