RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Coronavirus formulate major pandemic conditions among all over the world.
Adults and children almost all section of society is impacted and it directly
effect on health of individuals. It results all individuals face a major problem
because all sectors and organisation are closed and due to this learning,
economic, market conditions, health as well as other factors are impacted.
Research is focused to understand about the perception of students and
experience that is impacted due to Covid-19. Moreover, radical changes are
monitored among all over the world and this include different terms such as
self-isolation, social distancing etc. Most of them are new for all individuals
(Hakami and et. al., 2020)
The current information and data which is collected by respondents generate longer results by identify
of organisation structure. This also define about company structure and it make response towards
development of random sample and it aids persons for analyse of attaching factors the recruit
participants for examine individual attitude that seek behaviour of individuals for recruiting persons
and participants to improve mental health of individuals (Gómez-Ibáñez and et. al., 2020). Data
collection is participants perform an important role for study about organisational results. Qualitative
research is conducted and it defines about perception area that record about mental health of persons
to participate and use about different quotation for improving interview results. In this investigator
adopts the use of open ended questions by which persons identify and attain about success factors and
it aids persons to seek and understand about behaviour of participants.
Participants
The participants of the study are undergraduate students of university from CU. In order to perform
the survey and collect qualitative data, 30 respondents are selected who are university students. The
participants are selected by using sampling method which is the process of selecting sample size from
large population. There are two methods that researcher can use for selecting sample size involving
probability sampling method and non-probability method of sampling. In the probability sampling
method, the probability of each individual of being selected is equal. On the other hand, the chances
of getting selected are not equal in non-probability sampling method. In this particular study, the
investigator makes use of probability sampling method. In this method, random sampling type is used
in which the University students are selected randomly. The key reason behind using this sampling
method is that it assists in reducing biasness at the time of selecting sample so that accuracy and
reliability of data can be maintained.
Data-collection
Data collection is referred as a procedure of gathering data, measuring and analysing insights for
study utilising validated methods. The hypothesis can be evaluated by researcher on the basis of
gathered data. In the research study, data collection is most important and primary step and the
approach is different for distinct study area, relying on required information. There are two methods
through which data can be gathered including primary and secondary method of collection of data. In
the primary method, fresh and first hand data is collected which is never collected before by other
people. This data can be collected by using survey method, interview method or any other method
like phone, mail etc. On the other hand, secondary data is the second hand data which is already
gathered before by other people. It can be collected by using online sources, books, journals, articles,
previously published records etc. In relation to this particular investigation, both methods of data
collection are used in which the primary data is collected through structured interview and the second
data is gathered through using books, articles and journals.
Literature review is defined as review of scholarly articles, journals and books associated with particular topic or the question of research.
It is written as a thesis, research paper or dissertation part in order to situated the work of researcher in relation to current knowledge. It is
a search and evaluation of available literature on the given subject area. In the research study, literature review is significant part where
the view point of different authors is compared and their reviews are presented on the particular topic in chosen study. The viewpoints are
presented based on different themes which is provided below
To understand about perspective of University students and experience related with Covid-19
According to the Arfan Shahzad, 2021, study-portal i.e. e-learning portals perform an important role for students and they are used to
understand about needs and concerns related with programmes. It determine that students learn all factors from their portal and this also
aids persons to engage among all studies aspects and it make possibilities for individuals to fund their study. Along with crisis unfold;
transparent information become crucial aspect and it define about a list of measure and topics that communicate students for performing
their role in an appropriate manner.
The spread of covid-19 virus has had sudden and profound impact on various areas of life. The educational processes are also
affected by these changes in informal and formal learning environment. The Institutions like universities, schools, child care
settings and education providers moved to distance learning and ceased onsite teaching - or completely closed down. In the
similar way, the institutions which are offering cultural and sports activities had also shut down. Quick adjustments are required
because of sudden lockdown on the behalf of stakeholders as well as teaching and learning settings transforms substantially. In the
absence of vaccine or cure, fundamental transformations to day to day reality of learning and teaching have been seen. These
transformations have taken a toll on families, schools and society in general. The educators have had to switch from traditional
learning to different forms of distant education. This has needed adopting new strategies in education for digital teaching is an
emerging phenomenon in various educational settings. More self-motivation and self-regulation may have required by the
students due to absence of structured in class learning.
To manage challenge and response that is faced by University students at the time of pandemic conditions
In the higher educational institutions, the online shift seems to working well, it remains to be seen the way quality of learning
be affected through shift from on site to online teaching and learning, especially when the situation transforms from the
management of crisis to new academic year. The students everywhere faced challenges. The absence of social connectivity and
human interaction is one of the challenge that students face. Social environment and face to face interaction provide students with
the opportunity to interact with others and sustain friendship which contribute to their well-being and welfare. Through virtual
mode, students find it challenging to maintain social interaction. Apart from this, the temptations of virtual distractions are the
another challenge.
To attend and improve academic study by understanding about safety factors related with health of individuals
In order to decline the spread of covid-19 pandemic, the universities all around the world move speedily to transfer different
courses from offline to online with electronic learning, thereby becoming a mandatory learning and teaching process of
educational organisations. It is not about simply putting the materials of learning online, but the lecturers should organise the
content as well as learning methods as per the new delivery mode so that University students do not feel alone and isolated in the
process of learning. Thus, adequate skills and knowledge of lecturers and ICT equipment should be ensured. As for the survey
performed, the students were asked regarding their attitudes to distant online forms of learning and teaching, involving their
satisfaction with institution as well as support after the onsite classes cancellation because of physical closure of higher education
institution. It has been reported by around 86.7 % students at global level that onsite classes have been cancelled because of
covid-19 pandemic. There are various forms of online lectures developed among which the most dominant form were real time
video conferences followed through asynchronous forms: video recording, sending presentation to students and written
communication utilising chats and forums. Among these, the rarest form of online lectures was audio recording. At global level,
most of the students were satisfied with real-time video conferences follow through sending presentations, written communication
and video recording whereas, they were least satisfied audio recording.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS
The key limitations of research includes time and cost as due to lack of time and cost, the quality of research is impacted which

Background of research
Social identity approach address all aspects through which change among
community is implemented to indeterminate action of individuals for implement
of individuals toward assist of Covid-19. Students analyse different opportunity
to explain about feelings and concern related with University such as to take
online class. Further, research aim and objective will also design to analyse
student perception about learning factor. Data-collection is another importance
for understand of organisation guidelines to understand about development of
Covid-19 situation.
