Background of the Study

The start of 2020 is something every one can’t forget especially the outbreak of the virus Covid-19

and this virus is the type that you can get infected if you get close to someone. The government

made a decision that everyone should be quarantined, no one is allowed to go out unless it’s

necessary. The whole world is affected by this pandemic not only the people but also the livelihood

of the people. Because of the pandemic people don’t have much money because they don’t have

work and some also think that there is no such thing as Covid-19 so they go out and the cases of

people having the virus rises up. These events continued for months and are still going on until

now. Since there is a pandemic they provide another learning system which is the online class.

Students are having an online class inside their house so they won’t be affected by the virus. The

online class started and we are still new to it, the first month was okay but the activities keep on

coming. The health of the students is at risk because they can’t reach the expectation of their

parents and teachers. Their thoughts suddenly became different like when the teachers give

activities to their students and some of them are just doing the bare minimum just to comply and

submit. Their emotions suddenly overflow, they have low energy when the teacher start to discuss

their lesson for the day, and lastly they became negative about everything and start to overthink.

Sometimes students have problems with their internets, some don’t have enough gadgets to use or

some have but is too old so it causes lagging and hard to use, and some are being distracted by their

surroundings. We came up with this study since we are also a student under the online class

platform provision and are experiencing the pressure they are feeling. Online class has a big impact

on our self-regulation so we conducted this study to find out how this new type of learning system

affects the self-regulation of the students and somewhat find a solution to this problem that the

students are currently facing.
